Finally finished The Historian last night. Loved 99.9% of it. I won’t know what to do with myself when I have no more to read tonight. 11 Jan

When did Dread become my middle name? 11 Jan

NameRedacted @pj_thompson I hope it’s not official. The Peej is so much more fun to say than The Peed. 11 Jan

OtherNameRedacted @NameRedacted @pj_thompson HAHAHA she has a point, Peej. 11 Jan

@NameRedacted @OtherNameRedacted rofl – The Peed may have just wet herself. 11 Jan

Now the dryer’s gone out. Fortunately we have a great appliance guy who promptly fixed it and only charged $40. All hail Solis Appliances! 11 Jan

The rooter guy is on the way. I’m hoping this won’t cost us a second mortgage. 10 Jan

But I do love the sound of gurgling and backing up plumbing in the morning. Fortunately, everything eventually settled down. 10 Jan

So far the second new microwave hasn’t started rattling and overheating. Tried ultimate test last night: Stouffer’s lasagna family size. 10 Jan

This is my placeholder tweet. 9 Jan

I’m a prisoner of news cycle & the Arizona tragedy. Blame the inflammatory rhetoric of recent yrs. And schizo white supremicists of course. 8 Jan

I threw my back out carrying a microwave to the trunk of my car to return it and get a new one. Hope my microwave karma improves soon. 8 Jan

I’m reading the Sveti Petko section of The Historian now. Must listen to the Bulgarian Women’s Choir very soon. 7 Jan

Dear Johnny Weir, darling, I was never in any doubt. 6 Jan

Eat, Pray, Love is a REALLY twerpy book. There, I’ve said it. 6 Jan

Happy New Year, everyone! Managed to stay up till midnight (barely) but we toasted the year in with Martinelli’s. I had quite a sugar buzz. 1 Jan

Maybe I can finally finish Kostova’s Historian in 2011. Still only 3/4 through. Loved every minute but my concentration has been bad. 1 Jan

Been away from the internet except in dribs since 12/22. If I need to know something assume I don’t know because I can’t possibly catch up. 1 Jan

Happy New Year to everyone. Smoke ’em if you got ’em. 31 Dec

Wow, has my attitude about…like, everything changed in the last month. 31 Dec

America is obsessed with germs. We’ve become a nation of Howard Hugheses. Fetch me my kleenex box shoes. 29 Dec

I got my most ardent wish for this weekend: it was uneventful. Reading, sleeping, watching DVR’d shows, excessive tweeting… 20 Dec

Here in Westchester we got an inch and a half [of rain] in 24 hours—rather unprecedented for SoCal. 20 Dec

As predicted, after four straight days of heavy rain, the sound of rain falling is not as charming as it once was. 20 Dec

I want to go to Istanbul. I’ve wanted to for a long time but I really want to go now. 18 Dec

I love listening to the rain fall even after two days. It isn’t supposed to clear until Xmas day. Prolly won’t be as enchanted by then. 18 Dec

The android really wanted to make that the Gate du More. Which is kind of appropriate I guess. 18 Dec

And yes arriving in Paris at the beautiful light-filled Gare du Nord. Like stepping into an Impressionist painting. 18 Dec

The Historian: riding across Dutch countryside from Amsterdam to Bruxelles–YES, a wondrous green journey. My v. 1st view of Europe. 18 Dec

Mom and I are completely disconnected from Xmas this year. The good news: no shopping! 18 Dec

It’s rained steadily for two days. Light yesterday heavy today. 18 Dec

Also still watching ghost shows. I find them obscurely comforting which is just weird. What strange psychology is this? 18 Dec

Still loving Kostova’s Historian. Not reading much but love those stolen moments. 18 Dec

Do you ever wish you could hide out in the Bathroom of Life and hope nobody finds you? No, me neither. Just wonderin’. 17 Dec

Further abject apologies for not being much of a blogger these days.  I hope to get back to it soon.  Wish me a very boring weekend, please.  Meanwhile, here’s the condensed version:

Four more work days until vacation. Four. More. Days. 12:07 PM Dec 17th via web

Still dealing with issues that sap my energy for real blogging.  I hope to become a normal person again some day soon.

Sunny and warm temps are gone, btw. We’re freezing our squids off today. Well, relatively speaking. Highs in the 50s. 2:38 PM Dec 15th via web

I just paid off my car loan. 😀 10:37 AM Dec 15th via web

Not that I’m glad everyone else is freezing. 11:41 AM Dec 13th via web

Having bright sunshine and record-breaking temperatures in the 80s while the rest of the country freezes does help to lift the mood a bit. 11:41 AM Dec 13th via web

When you’ve been stressing for a long stretch, it’s hard to let go of it when things ease up. 11:40 AM Dec 13th via web

The week has been a rollercoaster. Glad it’s done. I’m hoping for a little calm but afraid of jinxing it by saying so. 9:43 PM Dec 11th via Mobile Web

I’m breathing better this morning. Let’s hope it stays this way. 9:36 AM Dec 10th via web

Yes, I know there are automated services that do this, but it gives me the wiggins to give out my password.

I’m loving the slow build of Kostova’s The Historian. It’s kind of delicious how she uses ordinary and understated things to build tension. about 1 hour ago via web

I’m so uncool I actually liked The Prince of Persia. Not just because of the Jake Gyllenhaal eye candy. Admittedly, that was up there tho. about 21 hours ago via web

My Pollyanna is in short supply these days. 12:50 PM Dec 6th via web

I’m not sure reading The Historian by Kostova at this juncture of my life is the best idea but i’m fascinated. 9:49 PM Dec 5th via Mobile Web

More no. What else? 8:16 PM Dec 5th via Mobile Web
