I came home from work yesterday and because of our plans for the upcoming months, decided it was time to find some jobs and send out some resumes. You know: the lamest, most annoying, suckiest activity known to man. So I went to a few websites, found some classifieds, and then I was at a…

This weekend was pretty darn cool, if I may say so. I’m sure that Natania will, at some point, update with news of her talk at the NC Colloquium in Medieval and Renaissance Studies. It was a very informative conference, and I must admit that showing Natania around Duke was exciting. The keynote speech, about…

As mentioned in the last post, we needed a nursery to store all of our new baby books. Instead of shelling out $100 or so at Target or wherever for a cheap particle board bookcase, Natania and I bought some shelving boards and some really nifty brackets at the Home “Deppo”, and after a half…

I haven’t written anything here in over a month. One of the best things I can do for myself, to keep myself sane and to keep my writing ability at least in some amount of shape, is to unload my feelings onto a blank slate. Usually, this is that blank slate, but as of late,…

Could’ve fooled me. As most folks blogging throughout the southeast are noting, it’s about seventy bloody degrees outside. This is our New Year, and it’s balmy and there’s nothing outside that even hints that Old Man Winter has taken up residence. As someone who loves the cold weather, I’m fairly annoyed. I prefer to bundle…

Whole heaps of stuff has happened, and I’m not really going to go into detail. My father-in-law is doing better, I made it to Massachusetts in one piece, and when I came back, I was still in one piece, though that one piece had doubled, according to North Carolina state law, and the tax code, to…

Just dropping a note so no one worries. On Monday, we got news that Natania’s dad was in the hospital. He was unresponsive, and running a fever, and there was a chance that meningitis might be the culprit. Anyway, I zoomed out of work and back home, and we decided that Natania would head to…

After a rather trying weekend, Natania and I arrived home at about 1pm and immediately crashed. We napped until 4ish, and then went out to run a few errands and spend some hard-earned wedding money. It was at Linens N’ Things that we discovered exactly what we were looking for: a joyous addition to the…

Laura and I were chatting about books the other day. She mentioned one that I should read, and as I’ve recently finished a series of novels that I’ve been at for nearly ten years, I asked her for more suggestions; I need to tackle something different, you see. Something I’ve not really thought about reading.…

From an email I just sent to my parents: I’m sure I didn’t tell you, but Natania’s mom is visiting for the weekend. She brought all the address book stuff, so we’ll have the addresses you need for the rehearsal dinner to you by Monday at the latest. We bought a new couch today! Totally…
