Yesterday I mentioned my closet full of notebooks and binders. Here it is: Some stuffed animals on a shelf (if you look close you can see an Ewok), and my wrapping paper and some other miscellaneous items, but predominantly it’s binders and notebooks. Some of those binders are actually photo albums (what an archaic idea), … Continue reading

Hey there, past me.
When Mom and Dad show up for a visit, cleaning and organizing is almost always part of the experience. I’ll try to help out their domesticating prowess by going through a box or two that I haven’t yet because well, the task usually seems daunting. So I found a box and started digging. The box … Continue reading
Pronouncements
Mom and Dad just left to make the rather long trip back to Tennessee. They were here a little over three days and my apartment looks far more complete then it did previous. My broadway posters (all plays I’ve seen except The Music Man which closed before we got to NYC, but the boy is … Continue reading
Evil Words
So I sent off my first copy of post-edit Phase back to my editor late, late Sunday night. Actually, let’s be honest, it was early morning because I was determined that it would be in her email inbox by Monday morning.

Edits Have Arrived
This was my very first attempt at making an omelet. Didn’t work so much, but it tasted awesome. One of the students at my school raises chickens so they were organic, free-range eggs with some cheese and sea salt added. The most elaborate breakfast I’ve had in a while. So on Thursday, I got the … Continue reading
Not what I was expecting
I guess, modern day watches are too cool for gears? However, the copper wire is kinda cool. I need some smaller screwdrivers to completely dissect these. I think I’ll look into old/broken clocks over spring break. SOTM: Origins by Tennis © ecnewman, 2012.
