Last night I went to my first ever PechaKucha event! PechaKucha is a style of presentation where the speaker has a slide deck of 20 slides that automatically move along every 20 seconds. People can talk about anything that they are passionate about. It makes for fast-paced, entertaining talks and, since people can talk about […]
I love writing. I’m not sure what it is about writing that gets me so excited. It’s almost like I have all these ideas whirling around in my head and I have to write them down to get them out. There’s something very satisfying about that. There’s also something gratifying about looking at something that […]
We had an earthquake drill recently at work. That’s me under my desk for said drill. I look far too happy for an earthquake. One of the things we talked about in the debrief was whether anyone had an emergency preparedness kit – you are supposed to have one at home, another one at work, and […]

Went out for dinner with some friends from grad school tonight and […]
Last year I made a comment lamenting my lack of little Christmas stockings for my frogs. Well, it was my Aunty Gwen to the rescue – she found me these little gems: So, yes, I realize it’s not yet December, but since I’m going to visit my family at Christmas, I had to put my […]
On Monday, I decided to treat myself to some fancy nails, as I had my grad photos taken that day ((My convocation isn’t until May, but we had to get our photos done by Dec 1 in order to be in the class composite.)) I figured that since I’d be holding scrolls and flowers and […]
