I hit a run of “eh” books. I’m not sure if that was about the books or my mood, honestly. I tried reading Blindfold Game by Dana Stabenow. I love her writing, most of the time. I couldn’t stomach another…
Bloggers are Dangerous!
You’d better learn to recognize the warning signs, just to be safe.
Where are my Gravatars?
I obediently updated to WordPress 2.5.1, and lost my Gravatars. I’ve checked the settings, and they’re still enabled. They’re definitely still in my templates, but nobody gets anything but the default “no gravatar” picture. Buh?
Presentation Done, Good Reading
I can’t talk about the presentation. I might have flashbacks. The fact that BOTH my classes that start next week have group projects is NOT giving me a happy. However, I did read Kelly Armstrong’s latest Women of the Otherworld…

SBQ: What do you do with completed patterns?
This week’s question is the first of some recycled questions. It was first asked back in 2005, and I don’t think I even knew about SBQ then, so I doubt that I’ve answered it before. After you stitch a pattern…
Gone Already?
Wow. This has been a very short week. I’m sure it doesn’t feel that way to my poor Sam, but it does to me. That’s what happens when you sleep through most of it, I suppose. I’ve avoided acknowledging the…
