[Breakfast: leftover shishkabob from yesterday's Memorial cookout with coffee, lots of coffee] -ilona
oh. my.
Remember how awhile back I said I wanted to know more of what is going on outside my sphere? I did not mean this.
I am trying to figure out if it is for real or a parody. I’m really, really afraid it [...]

A Bone To Pick

May 31st, 2005 · Comments Off · Complaints&Criticisms

A small one, an old one….. but worth a few chews anyway. What does someone say when they have nothing to say? You would think that they allow a little quiet space. But this seems to be considered a black hole, as if quiet would swallow up ones very existance.
This is something I have [...]

Winning Me Over- Linky Love Goes Out

May 31st, 2005 · Comments Off · Conviviality

I used to think you couldn’t forge friendships over the internet. I still tend to be leary, but blogging is beginning to convince me otherwise.

Blog Names

May 30th, 2005 · No Comments · blogdom

There are some blog names I wouldn’t be caught dead with…. and why:

Bad Mother way too close to my angst ridden self-doubts
She Who Will Be Obeyed and all those like this. Everyone complains that this is me… so another one too close to the truth, or the truth as someone somewhere might see it (no, [...]

Sunday Thoughts

May 29th, 2005 · Comments Off · Christian, Circadian

Sometimes I like to read [...]
