GameBoy scores his pic in Discover Magazine before he’s even hit puberty (do you think he can put that on his college applications?)
Originally published on 6/8/2006 you know you’re getting old when…You’re teaching class, standing up in front of 60 undergrads, and about ten minutes afterwards realize that your fly was down the whole time. And after the realization you’re not even embarrassed.But I am pretty glad that today’s the last day of classes. If one is [...]
Long Whiskers., originally uploaded by mind on fire. Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittensBright copper kettles and warm woolen mittensBrown paper packages tied up with stringsThese are a few of my favorite things Cream colored ponies and crisp apple streudelsDoorbells and sleigh bells and schnitzel with noodlesWild geese that fly with the moon on [...]
I keep vacillating between getting another haircut or growing it out. Not the world’s most important decision, but…during the summer it’s always nice to have hair long enough for a ponytail,but then again, short hair dries so much faster when one is swimming often. I think for now, my lack of decision means that it’s [...]

daisies!, originally uploaded by pilgrimgirl. If you know me well, you surely know that I’m not a morning person. I suspect that this is the result of many years of insomnia-related intermittent sleep patterns. In the mornings I’m short-tempered, I don’t want to talk, and I don’t smile or giggle much at all. However, I’ve [...]

Being a crunchy-granola gal, I’ve tried in all kinds of ways to reduce my carbon footprint and overconsumption of resources, including water. But I have to say that it’s just agony for me to go without a daily shower. I’ve been experimenting with “skipping a day” and that whole day that I do, I feel [...]
Did that crazy meme where you do a google search to see what you need (to play along, enter “[your name] needs” into google and report your findings). My top 10 hits: 1) Jana needs psychotropic medications2) Jana needs A Home3) Jana needs your help4) Jana needs to get her ass back to new york5) [...]
my boy, originally uploaded by pilgrimgirl.
Brooklyn, NYC., originally uploaded by mind on fire. Just a quick tribute to my growing GameBoy. He’s about as tall as I am, wears shoes 2 sizes bigger than me, and lifts heavy things as if they are nothing at all. It’s really a thrill to parent a growing teen boy, especially one who’s still [...]
