Heat = melted brain

With the summer’s second official heat wave, we have reached the point where it’s too hot for Julie to want to do much of anything. I spent Saturday and Sunday entombed in my house, where the a/c was on energy saver at 82*. It was that high (1) because Con Ed owns my soul and [...]

Just call me Locutus of Plurk

And if you get that reference, baby let your geek flag fly! Is it possible to be too connected to the ether? I wonder about this lately. In the past, I’ve had a habit of being very passionately interested in something on the internet, and then move on after a few months. IRC, Victor Garber [...]

Shady Gene has a new squirrel.

I have talked about my friend Eugene off and on here, mostly to describe why we call him Shady Gene – he disappears on trips for weeks at a time without telling us, and then comes back and says “Oh, I just got back from Geneva,” among other reasons. I mean, wtf? Who does that? [...]

The holidays revisited.

They’ve implemented a new phone system here at Some College that includes an integrated computer program. Basically, Big Brother is at my work place. I have to tell the computer every time I’m leaving my desk, even if it’s just to pee. All the stress that I felt leaving my body over the past five [...]

Christmas knitting hits everyone.

How I know it’s crunch time for all knitters – I get a call from Aimee: Aimee: Hey, did you knit the (some pattern) with (some number of stitches)? Because I’m doing it, and it doesn’t look right. Too small. Julie: Yeah, I did that. I added 10 stitches to make it bigger. And you [...]

Twice

It is a good day to be a member of the Red Sox nation, especially in New York City, surrounded by disgruntled Yankees fans. I’m celebrating by wearing my beat-up Sox cap, bought right after they won the 2004 World Series (do not slight me as a bandwagon fan, if you live in NYC you [...]

Rhinebeck in pictures

I finally got my act together this morning and uploaded the Rhinebeck pictures! So, without further ado… (pictures behind the cut, clicky for bigger)

Best doctor’s visit ever

I had a doctor’s appointment this morning to draw blood and test for high cholesterol and check out this thing I have going on with my left eye where it’s always dry and a wee bit crusty. (I like to save up my ailments until there are quite a few of them before I visit [...]

It’s fall, I’m sick.

I blame the baby. She has a cold, and after spending several days around her this past weekend, I think I have a cold. Which resulted in hardcore post-nasal drip, which resulted in…well, in me puking in the wee sma’s this morning. Yuck. So I am home today, recovering. Recovery involves drinking a lot of [...]

Cats vs. Baby

Jordana and Samang came over to my place last night, which means that the cats got to see their first baby. They were fascinated, Freddie especially. He looked her over, startled at the noises she made, and did not seem to understand that she was in fact a human. To be fair, he’s never seen [...]
