TRANSFORMERS!

JessLeave a comment

So we saw the new Transformers movie on Monday night. Flashback to opening night of the first new Star Wars movie...peeps in really bad cardboard costumes, reeking of spray paint, and way too much audience participation. I'll probably go see it again after the fanfare wears off so I can actually watch the movie without… Continue reading TRANSFORMERS!

Apathy Abounds…

JessLeave a comment

I don't know if it's the heat or what, but I've been excessively uninterested in life lately, much to the hubby's dismay and, I'm sure, irritation. Ugh. haven't worked on the book, haven't worked out, haven't wanted to work in general, or play, or do much of anything that doesn't involve emulating a pillow on… Continue reading Apathy Abounds…

Positively UnManning

Tonight a sound emerged from my husband that I've never heard before. Get your mind out of the gutter and I'll elaborate...My husband is 6'5 and generally manages to intimidate most people simply by virtue of the serious look that seems to be his default setting, especially at Renaissance Festival. The man has dealt with… Continue reading Positively UnManning

Yo Ho, Yo Ho, A Pirate for me…Spoiler

JessLeave a comment

So Pirates 3 did NOT provide the Disney-like fairy-tale ending I craved. I'm disturbed by the relatively tragic ending, and the "wait until after the credits" advice was not enough to replace my general sense of sadness upon exiting the theater. I actually dreamed about it that night, and not only because Orlando Bloom is… Continue reading Yo Ho, Yo Ho, A Pirate for me…Spoiler

So in a few weeks I'll be in a bellydance show. It'll be the first time I'll have performed in over a year...I'm already a little nervous. I was going to do the student performance at the hafla in June, but it's been cancelled. Instead, on Father's Day weekend I'll perform with some of my… Continue reading Shimmying Abounds!

I'm stuck in Columbus, OH until tomorrow night. Boring business trips give me some quiet time to work on the book, but it's 7:22pm and I just wish I was home.

Book Review

JessLeave a comment

So I finished Lady of the Light by Donna Gillespie on the plane yesterday. It's the long-overdue sequel to The Light Bearer. Donna Gillespie has done SERIOUS homework on Roman and Germanic history to write this series. In The Light Bearer, Auriane, the lead character, is a Chattian chieftain's daughter who "marries Wodan" to become… Continue reading Book Review

Work is Hell!

JessLeave a comment

I wasn't ready to come home!! Portland, Oregon is quite possibly the only place I'd move barring Ireland and Duluth. Since Dave's interested in neither of my other two options...we may be hoofing it out to the west coast after all, someday. Preferably in Cannon Beach, where the water is gorgeous and the town is… Continue reading Work is Hell!

Day 2, and PORTLAND!

JessLeave a comment

It's day 2 of WW...I'm giving this a 17 week trial (because the damn meetings cost a BIG chunk o'change for the stupid 17 weeks) to see if I hit my personal goals. If so, I'll continue WW online (which is significantly cheaper and actually has MORE resources than the meetings, where you have to… Continue reading Day 2, and PORTLAND!

The WW Nation…er Office

Tomorrow is W day. As in WW...as in Weight Watchers because my fat butt needs some help. There, I said it: I suck at dieting, and I need help. I only hope it's not too horrifying to be weighed in a group of people. But maybe it'll motivate me with shame. *sigh*Actually I feel pretty… Continue reading The WW Nation…er Office
