I realised that I hadn’t posted photos yet from Stef’s wedding. So without further ado… Stef foster and I have a special connection. Not only did we live in the same dorm in college, and then in the same room at our apartment in Evanston; we also share the same birthday (alongside such luminaries as [...]

Got home yesterday evening. Realised that I had been up essentially since 11pm the night before! Dog tired. Can’t imagine how people working along the firelines are feeling. Going back tomorrow, although not to San Diego — going to the Santiago Fire near Irvine, CA (in Orange County for those of you familiar) where the [...]

Hey y’all, I’m in San Diego covering the wildfires for CNN. Don’t worry, we are all ok — thankyou for the words of comfort and offers to come stay with y’all! LA proper is alright now — that’s where Bren is. The real danger and devastation is here in San Diego. As I write, we [...]

Sorry y’all… I have been running around doing stuff since we got back from Chicago, and there’s so many photos I want to post! I will post it as soon as possible. Bren is in an improv show tonight at the Hothouse, so if you’re around, come on down! It’s at 8p. -x-aarti

You’re not alone. Apparently, everyone on Earth probably did! Isn’t that comforting, kinda? I mean seriously. I’m not being sarcastic. Isn’t that a somewhat comforting thought when you’re having a bad day? Mercury went into retrograde today, which coincided with some other celestial confrontation between Saturn and something else I can’t remember. I am relating [...]

Thursday’s Hero is Keven! He made a whopping 3 (or was it 4?) comments on my blog, IN ONE DAY! YIPPEEE! GO KEVEN GO! -x-aarti

Bren has been taking Krav Maga, for the past 5 months or so. Not only has he shed a ton of weight and got all muscley (whee!) as a result, but he’s walking with more confidence in himself, and an overall sense of joy that comes from letting out all your latent Irish-brawling tendencies first [...]

Have you guys (in the States) watched “Pushing Daisies”? It’s a new show on ABC on Wednesday nights that I can’t stop talking about. It is truly the first time, in a loooong time, that I have been impressed by a network TV show. The show (about a man who has the ability to bring [...]
