schlump

Yep, you guessed it, folks. I’m in a blog slump! This slump is brought to you by two factors. And the letter M. The two factors aaaaare:

it’s a good thing

I didn’t end the day by curling up on the couch and renting an absolutely insufferably romantic movie with songs in the soundtrack by artists such as Feist and Aimee Mann, and then crying in my popcorn. That would be embarrassing.

Well hello inexplicably increasing readership!
It’s that time of year again… the time where Kristina pretty much disappears.  Sorry.  This weekend has been a fun-filled mish-mash of computer disasters (narrowly averted, but hours-long all the same!) and pressing deadlines.  The next couple of weeks will be more of the same.  The deadlines, that is, and not [...]

OK, One More Thing

Some of you may remember that I was struggling with quitting smoking.  I was on-again off-again for a long while.  However, as of December 12th, I will not have had a cigarette for 6 months.  Nor have I wanted one. So, in other words, the hypnotism worked.  Word.

Turtle Butt

I have settled on another new design, which you have not noticed yet if you are in a reader.  Come look!  Those of you who have been in my house may recognize the picture.  It’s one I took in Austin and have hanging in my bathroom.

Just Awful.
