Death to 2008

I meant for this post to be my New Year’s post, but well, shit happens and I’m typing it now rather than then. Too much World of Warcraft, I suppose. At any rate, the point of this post is that 2008 was a red-letter year for death. A lot of people I cared about and liked died last year, so I can’t say I’m sorry to see it go. I compiled a list of deaths that occurred throughout 2008. Continue reading →

All the tea in China

So everyone knows I like tea, right? I mean, I know I like tea. I like lots of different types of tea, and I like learning about tea as well. I even have several books on tea. Its history, different types, how to serve it in different ways, and just random odd tea tidbits.

Foots!

Ouch, my feet hurt. Today was pretty crazy at the library since it’s been closed the past two days.

Then there were all the VHS tapes and CDs and books… To say the least, there was a lot to put up. Continue reading →

Happy birthday, Dad!

From what Rook tells me, Dad’s busy right now at a girls’ basketball game running the concession stand. I was gonna ask him how he likes the present I made for him and to wish him a Continue reading →

Some walking

I actually have another post that I want to write at some point this week, though I’m still mulling it over in my head for the time being and have decided in the interim to post random stuff about occurences in my life lately. Can’t say any of it will be interesting, but well, that’s the story of my life. I’m a pretty boring person on a day-to-day basis. Even Kitty agrees as she sleeps lazily Continue reading →
