Christmas: It's About Me Time
It’s Christmas Eve. I’m at home with my family, catching up with friends, cooking meals that are paradoxically leisurely and gourmet (I neither am nor aspire to be a foodie), etc.
But in between all that saintliness, I’m doing what matters: annhilating e-mails that have overstayed their welcome in my inbox, attacking months-old items on my to-do list, and cleaning my room, all...

Work Log
I seem to want to tweet every weird and dumb thing I encounter at work today, so I’ve decided to liveblog it out of consideration for my followers.

Christmas List
Most years, I have no idea what I want or need. This year, I can point you in the right direction at all price ranges.
In order of increasing price, I want/need:
Really warm, knitted mittens. I especially like those that flip back into fingerless gloves, but that’s not a must. I had some like that from H & M and lost them, tragically.

An Annotated Transcription From My Angsty Journal
I want to document the quotidien like I used to. It was fun. But I turn on the camera, open a blog post, and nothing. EB comes up on the screen in Skype and there’s nothing to tell.
I feel like all the news is bad news these days. I want to hide in my coat when I’m outside and spend every possible moment inside, where it’s warm.
Paradoxically, I miss the city. Or do I? I want...
