Homefries

Category: Uncategorized

  • Rodrigo y Gabriela

    If you’ve seen that stop-motion video of the books dancing on the bookshelves, you’ve heard this duo.

  • Favorite websites

    Funny how odd it seems to be making this list on my blog! I’ve never been much of one for blogrolls, even back when that was a major part of most blogs. I am, however, a voracious consumer of RSS feeds. I use Google Reader to manage them. Here are a few of my favorites.

  • In my bag

    Or, in my case today, in the pockets of my jacket!

    • cell phone
    • Framley Parsonage (The World’s Classics, Oxford University Press, 1957 hardcover pocket edition)
    • bus schedules: 92 and 93

  • Blog goals

    Goals? Who said anything about the blog having goals?

    • originally, as the subhead says, an aide-mémoire (but only useful if I actively blog!)
    • to vent on political or social topics for which I feel I have no other venue
    • to be on record publicly
    • to influence whoever might come across or follow the blog
    • to be findable by old friends and coworkers

  • Least favorite words

    I don’t think I actually have “least favorite” words per se (at least not that I can put on a blog), although context does put me off as an editor.

    • “And” or “but” when used to begin a sentence.
    • “However” when used to begin a sentence with the sense of “although.”

  • Weekend goals

    Oh, so mundane!

    • do laundry
    • buy cat litter
    • sweep and vacuum (aka: terrorize the cats, unfortunately)
    • launch “Opera with Otenth” on Radio Riel Sunday at noon EST with Don Giovanni
    • turn futon (already partially accomplished!)

  • Today’s playlist

    • Haven’t even started iTunes today.
    • Going to a dance in Second Life tonight, so whatever Fuzz plays.

  • I am looking forward to . . .

    • the weekend
    • seeing Janny
    • Spring
    • my sabbatical
    • eldering for PSP at the Weed Lecture
    • reading The Crippled God

  • Things I’m good at

    • putting together the big picture from little details
    • knitting
    • making homefries
    • avoiding doing laundry
    • enjoying the sky
    • providing a warm, soft place for cats to sleep

  • 30 lists

    I found this meme-thing through a knitting blogger. It’s meant for scrapbookers, but I think it may serve as a good little blog jump-start. It’s 30 days of lists. And yes, I’m starting late.

    A few things about me

    • I grew up in California
    • I’m an editor
    • I like cold weather and snow
    • I don’t like temperate weather and rain
    • I share my house with two cats named after characters in Trollope novels
    • I’m probably going to try doing this exercise twice simultaneously in two personae
