I croak a belated happy birthday! Apologies. 😦

Jane Quiet at Coilhouse
Drop over to Coilhouse.net to see Elizabeth S.’s write up on Jane Quiet; I love the serendipity of the internet! It’s what brought this about. Please, leave a comment to let Elizabeth and Coilhouse know you stopped by; this is how we measure success on the ‘net. Back from my travels: Friday I went down…
Happy Birthday!
Happy Birthday, Miss Wendy — may your day be happy and bright. See you soon! Happy Birthday, Angela — you superstar (yeah, the wishes are a bit early)! Happy Birthday, Beex — may West Ham prove triumphant!* *Psst, Brad, I didn’t really say that; Arsenal all the way!
Ring Ring Goes the Bell
Classes begin tomorrow; as usual, I face that fact with a mixture of anticipation and dread. Just like the students, I prefer to be on holiday. Every new semester makes me wonder if I know what I’m doing. Birthday boy Robert (Happy Birthday, again!) says the same thing he always says, “Make them stand on…
A Chilly Birthday
Only one hat will do today: it’s the Mad Hatter! During one visit to Adrean in Brussels, I kept walking past the shop window where this hat was displayed and I kept thinking, “Oh, it’s too expensive.” Then I thought, “You’re going to regret not getting that hat. What if you never come back to…
Cool Friends
Have I got cool friends or what? As many of you know, tomorrow is my birthday (yes, during finals week — sigh!), but the gifts have already begun rolling in. Pictured is the book from my friend Alessandra in Rome, who knows well my obsession with Wombats and found the perfect book to appease that….
BitchBuzz: Jingle Freakin’ Bells
My latest BitchBuzz column takes time out for a humorous holiday grumble. Of course I lie — there’s all kinds of Xmas music I like including Vince Guaraldi’s soundtrack for A Charlie Brown Christmas, Joey Ramone and yes, I just bought the new Tori CD, too. But the omnipresence of the jingle of the bells…
Contrasts
So, my day started by waking up to this disturbing sight: because I had stayed at Jenise’s after celebrating her birthday with Cary Grant movies and some wine — and then a little Hennessey. Yum! Of course it was more relaxing to know I didn’t have to drive home that night and her guest room…
Happy Birthday, Joan Jett
Yes, LOL — thin on content yet again: tenure package is coming together, but I forgot that the reassigned time and professional grant requests are due Friday and must be signed by my department chair and dean before being submitted. Soon, soon, I will be able to breathe again. Two other non-fiction projects due this…
