What’s a B.B.E.?
Thursday, June 1st, 2006Is it the Best Birthday Ever? Well, not quite, but it was pretty good. My co-workers Kittied up my cube, because they all know that at heart, I am forever three years old: Hello, Kitty!!! I got some nice presents, two flower arrangements, and a delicious cake, so as birthdays-at-work go, it wasn’t bad. But [...]
(Happy?) Memorial Weekend
Friday, May 26th, 2006I used to work with a woman from New Zealand, and as we were getting ready to leave the office on a Friday before Memorial Day weekend, she asked me, “Is it right to say ‘Have a happy Memorial Day?’ It’s sort of your Remembrance Day, right? So it really shouldn’t be ‘happy’–but it is [...]
Plans, Plans, Plans
Tuesday, May 16th, 2006Sorry about the little unannounced vacation from the blog, everyone. I went off on a three-day anniversary vacation, and when I came back, I got thrown headfirst into two high-pressure, short-turn projects. The Countess has had a similar combination of work and play cutting into her reading time, so between us, no blogging got done. [...]
Now We Are Six

Good Things Come
Monday, May 1st, 2006In 1994, or thereabout, distinguished British actor Simon Callow published half a biography of Orson Welles, covering his life from birth through his master work, Citizen Kane. It’s a wonderful book, and much of my long-time fascination with Welles can be traced to it. Having thoroughly enjoyed it, I eagerly looked forward to the publication [...]
Pencil Revolution
Thursday, April 27th, 2006I would like to highlight one of the links over there on our sidebar. When we were setting up this blog and discussing the kinds of sites we wanted to post links to, Pencil Revolution was at the top of my list of sites to promote. They’re a little geeky, a little obsessive, maybe even [...]
Biggest. Dorks. EVER.
Sunday, April 23rd, 2006In the first installment in our Better Know Your Bloggers Series, we argue that Kaizerin and her partner Modhran are, in fact, the biggest dorks in the world. There’s a big ol’ pile of evidence to sift through: the fact their house has four working laptops running on three platforms, the stacks of graphic novels, [...]
Read a Book!
Saturday, March 25th, 2006Recently, on two consecutive days, I heard co-workers complain about the length of our lunch break. “I wish they gave us an option,” the first one said. “It’s fine if I have to run errands or something, but if I don’t have something to go do, an hour is just too long.” Yes, she was [...]
