So... I know, I shouldn't start my post like that, with the word "so." It's bad form, kind of like starting a sentence with "anyway" or any number of other words I don't feel like typing. So...I had over 250 hits on my dating profile the first week. I'm not sure if that's good or… Continue reading Online Dating – Week 1

Fresh Start
In lieu of my cooking escapades this week, I've decided to share with you something I've found recently - one of Umi's poems. That's right, my mother is a poet and has several of them...somewhere around here. Anyway, I hope you enjoy it. At a time when your world's Full of hurt and pain When… Continue reading Fresh Start
Dating Site Tip #1
Guys, when you give your personal contact info (such as an email addy or your yahoo IM) in the VERY FIRST email because you don't want to deal with the dating site, that's an immediate disqualification from the dating pool. Seriously. Now go take your time out by the locker room. *blows whistle*
Track Changes 101
Today, I'm going to teach you all about Track Changes in MS Word. If you don't know what that is, that's okay. I've encountered many writers over the last few years who haven't a clue. I've taught them via phone and email; I can teach you through a blog post. Actually, it'll be easier this way because… Continue reading Track Changes 101
Online Dating and Me
Okay, so some of you know, if you've been paying attention, that I signed up for an online dating service during my apparent inebriated state after coming home from Atomic night in Scottsdale on Sunday, September 4th. I'll admit, even with the buzz I carried, I was a tad nervous about the prospect. I mean… Continue reading Online Dating and Me
Pay It Forward
There's a very nice woman in my apartment complex who has become a good friend for Umi. They sit outside at night and chat, check in on each other when I'm not around...and when I am, and text each other almost every day even though they live roughly 200 feet from one another. Yes, it's… Continue reading Pay It Forward
Marbled Double Chocolate Cheesecake Squares
I know it's been a long time since I've posted a recipe and I do apologize for that. It's been crazy in my life these past couple of months, filled with family emergencies, classes and tons of homework, and trips to comic conventions. Now that I'm semi-recuperated, I'm back to reading, editing, and hopefully posting… Continue reading Marbled Double Chocolate Cheesecake Squares
Alas Poor Jinxie…
I'm just exhausted from the past weekend. Let me tell you why... Last Wednesday afternoon, I left for Chicago to spend the weekend working the Zombie Survival Crew booth at the Wizard World Comic Convention, since, y'know, I designed most of the ZSC gear, and because I hadn't been to one of these things since… Continue reading Alas Poor Jinxie…
28 Days
No, I'm not talking about the Sandra Bullock movie, nor am I speaking of 28 Days Later, which everyone thought was a sequel to the Sandra Bullock movie. Boy, did they ever get a surprise! Come to think of it, it very well could have been a sequel....but that's not my point. I'm doing a… Continue reading 28 Days
Updates and #Stuff
Hi. I thought I'd drop in to give a quick update as to what I've been up to lately. 🙂 Homework--it has buried me and I'm in the midst of Shakespeare's damn sonnets (which I actually do love) and mid-terms. I've already completed my Anthropology mid-term, but still have my English mid-term to take by… Continue reading Updates and #Stuff
