another day, another dollar

it's my birthday!!!!

A new post is long overdue--with lots and lots of life happening in between now and Feb. 7.

But spring is here, and we have the windows open, and today we're going to the zoo.

I need to try to get published.  I miss Oxford, and England.  I want to go back (which feels like masochism, but England is so beautiful :c)).

Chicken Tikka and Harry Potter

My life right now is awfully boring, but matt and I still manage to have fun together in the evenings.  Last night we made chicken tikka (such comfort food), tried a large bottle of Trader Joe's Vintage Ale 2007 (their holiday variety), which matt liked more than i did, and made Kahlua flavored ice cream which was very boozy.

Then we proceeded to read the Deathly Hallows aloud to each other until we tired of talking, so we ended up holding the book between us and reading it silently, at the same pace.  When we ended at a cliffhanger chapter ending, we looked at each other and said something to the effect of "wasn't that thrilling/fantastic?"  But we hadn't said a word aloud to each other for half an hour, but we shared the book just the same :c).

I've been craving cookies, but we don't have any in the house...

A New Leaf

I have followed my friends away from the long-beloved Xanga into the world of Blogspot.

I make no guarantees about the regularity of posting--we'll see how this new formatting thing piques my interest.  It certainly might--this really is quite fun :c).

So hello old friends, i'm back in cyberspace...
