How I did it
How to plan my trip to England
It took me
3 months
It made me

How I did it: Spent a couple of hours interacting with a lovely British guy when he was over here. Shamelessly regaled him with email and Facebook attention. Invited myself to descend on him, once I'd decided that his resistance was probably futile, and regardless of that it was a good time for a holiday, and made plans to meet up with other lovely Brits as well. Booked plane ticket, taking advantage of strong dollar, and not worrying too much about th… Read how I did it…

How to do napowrimo 2009 (a poem a day during April)
It took me
30 days
It made me

How I did it: I only ended up submitting 3 or 4 poems over the course of the month. I really didn't have the time required, but that's OK. I liked most of what I produced, and really, reading other people's stuff was so inspiring. RuthG's leadership and prompts were fabulous! Read how I did it…

How to participate in earth hour 2009
It took me
1 day
It made me

How I did it: It was sort of a last-minute thing. I turned on a timer for one hour, lit some candles, and sat on the couch with a beer and my guitar, and ended up writing a nice melody, and thinking again about a haiku cycle I'd written a couple of weeks ago. Read how I did it…

Post Random Stuff (read all 71 entries…)
Um. Really? 1 day ago

In trying to sell my car, I’ve now had two suggestions that I donate it to charity, and get a tax donation. It’s just a few years old, has <20,000 miles on it, and I reckon - based on comparables, and the online blue book - it's worth about $12,500.

I haven’t worked, to speak of, in two months. Am I a selfish yuppie scum for thinking that that’s too much potential cash to just kiss goodbye?

  • my realtor understanding that the meek young woman who’s buying my apartment is really a tyrant, cheapskate, and PIA
  • getting all the repairs under control
  • having a cute car, in great shape and with low miles, that people might actually want to buy!
