  • Tumbleweed Entry

    Does anyone still read this? I know, I know, maybe if I wrote more often...

    As an obligatory update, we moved to a townhouse in Lancaster County a couple of months ago. We really love our house.  I now live within walking distance of Chelle, and together we threw a supremely awesome Harry Potter Halloween Party. I'm still commuting to work in King of Prussia for the time being. Kristoffer has been doing temp work while still searching for permanent employment. We're currently church shopping. I think that covers all the major bases.

    Though I haven't been blogging much, I have been writing more lately. Some one-time readers of my xanga may be interested to know that The Tale of Robert and Pati has been rehabilitated in some fashion. It's sort of slow-going right now, but if we manage to finish a chapter, I think I'll probably post it on that dusty old xanga site I created for it. =)

  • The Weird and Wonderful World of the Workplace

    My work gmail thinks my first name is Theodore, so sometimes I get spam like this:

    Hello My Dear,

    My name is Ella , i passed and read your profile, it was so
    interesting to me that i decided to stop by and inform that you are
    the only one missing in my entire life, beside i will like us to start
    as friends for the main time and see were it will take us to.

     I also believe that coming to you will be a probability of meeting
    that very thing that has been lacking in my entire life.

    Please contact me at (ellamezie@gmail.com).Am a girl with respect and
    also responsible.

    I  will give you a full introduction of my self when i receive your
    reply in my email okay.

    Cares for my future love.

  • Summer Sweat

    The snowiest winter ever has been replaced by the hottest summer ever, and it's barely even June. Just like me. One extreme or the other. Maybe Mother Nature is as stressed out as I am.

    The new Xanga editor has done away with the "Currently Listening/Watching/Reading" feature! That's no fun! Well, I'm currently listening to Outkast's "The Way You Move" (one of my favorite summer songs ever), and Kristoffer and I have been making our way through Season 1 of The Muppet Show on DVD for the past few nights. Take that, Xanga!

    I'm not currently reading anything, though I hope that will change soon.

    The latest exciting bit of news is that Kristoffer has graduated (finally!), been accepted to the graduate program of his choice (yay!), received a scholarship (thank God!) and starts said program in two weeks (already?!!). He also has a job lined up teaching at a 6-week art camp starting in July. (Can I get an AMEN?!)

    The grad program is online, which means he'll need to provide his own studio space, which means (you guessed it!) we're looking at moving again. *grumble* But! At least we're FINISHED with Temple, which means nothing's keeping us in Philly anymore (except the cheesesteaks). So that means we can start to consider the idea of moving a little further west to be closer to friends and/or work. I won't say anything more specific than that for now, though exciting possibilities are afoot...
