Mouse, Inc.?

My sister and I are going into business together.
Yup, we’re taking the plunge and starting our own business. Well, not really our OWN business. We’re going to be selling Lia Sophia jewelry.
We’ve been thinking about it for a while now, ever since my brother’s girlfriend invited us to our first Lia Sophia party. [...]

Woebegone First Thoughts

I’ve been having a hard time sticking with my first thoughts. Any writer will tell you, first thoughts are usually where the good stuff is. But I can’t. I’m censoring myself, I think. Why? I don’t know. I’ve been having a hard time with creative writing this semester. [...]

Brief update

The first week of classes are over and done with. WHEW! Well, it’s going to be fine. Busy, but fine.
I haven’t been feeling well all week. What else is new?
Work is fine. School is fine.
For the moment, things are fine.

Update

Finished The Old Man and the Sea on Saturday. Lovely tragic story. He found just the right words for everything. I’ll have to read it again, though, to get the full effect, since it essentially took me two days to read (Sunday and Saturday), and I could probably read it in one [...]

And so…

…it begins.
I started my journey to becoming an autodidact yesterday, with Ernest Hemingway. I started reading The Old Man and the Sea, on a long-standing recommendation from Pop (my grandfather). It was either Hemingway or Crime and Punishment by Dostoyevsky. Dostoyevsky will be next now. I went out to Half Price [...]

A book meme

Go figure, my first post back would be a meme. Well, I’m feeling lazy. I found this via Green Duckies; she’s got more interesting answers, of course.
This probably isn’t already stuff you didn’t already know. I plan on redoing this one in one year, to see how far my promise to myself [...]

An anytime Funny

I’m going to post this, and then disappear for a week or so. We get to go to Illinois this weekend to visit family, of which I am very happy for. So I thought I’d just post this now.
Some exposition: Panini thinks Chowder is her boyfriend, and Chowder spends the whole cartoon [...]

Not today.

No Funny today. No nothing today. I’ve been having a hard time saying what I mean lately. I have to work on that.

Tidbits

I forgot to listen to my dad’s radio show last night! I can’t believe I forgot! Well, I’ll definitely listen tonight. From 7 – 9 pm CST (8 – 10 EST), and just click on this link. Radio-free. The Seventh House. MoZo will be there. I’ll be listening [...]

The weekend

Some weekend highlights:
* Saturday afternoon, we went to see the movie “Up.” It was a really good movie. I highly recommend it. I liked the kid Russell, and the dogs. It was wonderful and colorful and not a wasted moment. Really good film.
* Saturday evening, Matthew, Nathan and I went [...]
