Meet Dr. Horrible
I love Joss Wheden. And Nathan Fillion. And musicals. And blogs!
Presenting "Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog," which debuts on the Web on July 15:
(I blogged about this a little more "officially" elsewhere.)
Life’s (potential) poetry
I'm going to let you in on a little secret.
I have a blog that tracks buyouts and layoffs in the newspaper industry. Um, that's not the secret. In fact, it's kinda well-known; the year-old blog started getting popular a couple of months ago.
In April, San Jose Mercury News artist extraordinaire ...
Fabulous 40
Age has never been a big deal to me.
I didn't rush out an get my driver's license when I turned 16. (Yep, I'm old enough that I could get my license at 16. Now, there's a graduated system.)
For my 21st? It wasn't really my plan, but I worked on ...
Postcard round-robin
I love postcards. Lately, I've been scanning in postcards for a family project, and it's been a lot of fun to see the different styles, different places, even just how things have changed.
So when Vanessa suggested a postcard round-robin over on 30-Something Bloggers, I jumped on it. But there ...
Hot mess: Catching up with friends
I got to see two friends from college last night, which was fun. They were in town for the Royals/Cardinals game -- Kansas City fans, of course. (And the Royals swept the three-game series!) The last time I saw B. was 1999, before I graduated; we all used to work ...

It's a complicated family
My grandmother died tonight.
My family is strange -- my mother's the oldest of three, but has been the outcast for awhile. Mostly because my parents divorced about 20 years ago. That was not acceptable to my grandparents or my mother's siblings, especially my aunt. (My relationship with my father is strange, too. I haven't talked to him since kicking him out of the procession at my sister's wedding (she didn't want him there) in 2005. And even then, I didn't talk to him. Or at the reception aft… Continue

How do you know when it's time to hit restart?
Every once in awhile I get stuck. Usually after friends or family members (OK, friends) share exciting news -- promotions, raises, new blogs, new projects, new jobs, that sort of thing -- that I am jealous of. Ugh. Yeah, jealous.
Usually I can yell "Get over yourself!" and get rid of crazy notions. Or I can make a plan and solve whatever the problem is. Now, though, it would be a bigger leap. It'd require hitting re-start, which is pretty scary. I haven't been able to figure out the next step -… Continue
