Remember those high school days when abbreviations and acronyms were common enough to compromise every other word of text and instant messages? What a lie, I have only halfway grown out of that tendency, but “ttfn” (ta ta for now!) has somehow faded out of my lexicon. So I’m bringin that one back.
Which is [...]
We are pretty sure we got robbed.
Well, that’s not quite right. We have definitely been robbed once before: we returned from a trip once and noticed that all of Ben’s power tools were missing from the garage. At least a few hundred dollars worth of equipment purchased slowly over a long time, all gone. [...]
Last week, I mentioned to Ben: “Remember what we were doing this time last year?” He paused. Then, “Whoa.”
This time last year, Ben was still working at a real awful little company that had sent him on a seemingly never-ending business trip to Oceanside, on which
Some background:
We have a TV hooked up to a PC in our living room, which functions as both our desktop computer and Netflix/Hulu viewing device since we don’t actually have cable. It also plays Spotify nonstop, but only if a screensaver prevents it from pausing every few minutes. That screensaver is a polar [...]
So I guess it’s 2013? And I missed the whole “happy new year” blog post thing? And the “13 in 2013″ goal-setting list? And the “this year is gonna be great, I can feel it in my bones!” situation? And the “here’s my word/verb/verse/quote/mantra for the year!” deal? And [...]

I’d almost forgotten about my list! Here is an update:
1. Take the LSAT again (maybe?) and apply to law schools.
This one will not be happening in 2012 [...]
Everything around me – even everything in me – is slowly, steadily, dying.
I don’t mean to be morose. It’s just that I have finally accepted what is probably a very basic fact of adulthood: a lot of life is spent just keeping sh*t together. By the time you feel ahead or on [...]
“Little Emily – that girl has got an old soul,” I overheard a friend of my mom sigh as they clinked wine glasses at the kitchen table while I, with my tiny tribe of sticky friends, scrambled around the house. “Ten going on thirty, that one.” They laughed.
I’ve never felt quite my age. After [...]
Some miscellaneous thoughts on voting:
—
Voting is sort of hard. Getting your paperwork turned in, making sure addresses and name changes match up, making sure you research all of California’s insane propositions, finding your polling place, standing in lines, using the weird little ink stamp machine thingie. Shoot. I am an educated, intelligent, [...]
