boy oh boy, what was i thinking?
How about: ``It's for people who don't have enough money to buy underwear.''
One year ago: I didn't post on June 5 a year ago. How lame is that?
Two years ago: Darin and I see The Truman Show. It does not appear to be anniversary-specific.
Three years ago: I celebrate my one year annniversary.
Four years ago: My first entry! About my then-ubiquitous health problems.
Four years.
Let's see: moved to Los Angeles, went to graduate school, moved Darin to Los Angeles and bought a house, sold our condo, wrote a couple of screenplays, got a manager, and had a baby.
The best thing that's happened in the past four years has been Sophia. I knew I was enjoying this experience a lot when I told Darin I could imagine not only having another one but maybe two more. And there were a few moments where I found myself thinking, Darn, why didn't I have a baby right away when we got together!
As Darin pointed out, there are a ton of other things we wouldn't have done if we had had a baby right away. Well, yes. But for someone who was never going to have kids, it was probably a remarkable statement.
Remind me, at some point, to write about that.
Doing nobody knows anything/The Paperwork has been a great experience. I've learned a lot, I've met a lot of great people, and I feel good about having produced something many people have told me they really enjoy!
Today: yoga. I didn't get too much else done, because La Pookie does not sleep as often as she used to.
Something I wanted to do early on was a minute-by-minute accounting of my day, so I could see where all my time went. I didn't do it, and I'm sorry I didn't, because her schedule is totally different now. If I do it now and look back at it a month from now, I know I'll be saying, "Wow, she used to do that?"
Anyhow, this is the reason I didn't write more today about my move to my new site!
(If you notice any problems, drop me a line -- I've tried to update a few things here and there, but I've probably missed a few!)
I have gotten so much mail about Diana Wynne Jones, I have opened a forum topic on her:
What's your favorite of her books? Where do you tell other people to start? What about the whole Diana Wynne Jones vs. JK Rowling thing anyhow?
And while you're there:
Forum: Make a referral of something you've enjoyed.
Forum: Got digital camera questions?
Just in case you think all religious crazies are by necessity Christian, here is exhibit A.
The answer to yesterday's question: The Prez is in Moscow right now chatting with Russian President Vladimir Putin about all things nuclear: changes to the ABM treaty, how to reduce plutonium stockpiles, and whether the US should go ahead with SDI (Star Wars) or not. I understand Clinton is a smart boy, so he knows how ludicrous SDI is. But just in case he doesn't, would someone go bitch-slap him for me?
