Flu Bug

nobody@vox.com(Manon-It-All) — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 11:15:21 -0500

I got hit with the flu last Tuesday. I can pinpoint the moment it happened, so I know it's the flu and not a cold. For 5 days it was pretty brutal, but all things considered it could have been much worse (for example, unlike some folks with the ...

QotD: Oldest Thing in My Closet

nobody@vox.com(Manon-It-All) — Sun, 08 Nov 2009 10:38:12 -0500

What's the oldest article of clothing you own? Bonus points if you show us a photo! If by this you mean the oldest piece of clothing that is mine and worn by me (not antique clothing), then it would have to be my giant blue sweatshirt from high s...

Car ride. Big storm front seething at our destination, sun behind us, rainbows to our right. We go on these trips in the evening to get out of the house, drive along the lake, see the country roads. The kids get boisterous and loud and that irr...

I have a lot that I want to talk about, and that's why I'm not doing any writing. Writing just seems like the story is so one-sided. It's not. It's the way of the Internet: you write what you want, and it doesn't matter if it's true or not, an...

Strange Things Happen

nobody@vox.com(Manon-It-All) — Tue, 16 Jun 2009 17:04:23 -0400

I am still using the Mystery Meat setting on my iPod, and not all the way through sampling every song on there. I don't have everything I want on there yet, but what I do have keeps me pretty entertained. So on the way back and forth to the off...

QotD: Model Behavior

nobody@vox.com(Manon-It-All) — Sun, 14 Jun 2009 16:02:27 -0400

Would you ever want to be a model? Why or why not? I actually was a model. Once. It was such a terrible experience that I refused to ever do it again. I got to dress in all sorts of really neat clothes, but it was the kind of show where the m...

Last Saturday, my husband and I went to Toronto for "Shadow Notes" to hang out for an hour with some famous photographers. One of them happened to be Andy Summers. The photography panel was made up of Andy, Danny Clinch, and Ralph Gibson (gently...

Today is Repeat Day, so we want to know: what song do you have currently have on repeat? Bonus points if you share it with us! This morning as I drove into work I put my iPod on "Mystery Meat", which basically means I scorn any pre-made playlist...

Show us your wristwatch. This is the "Bunny Sutra" watch from Swatch. Yes, they are doing what you think they are doing. And they do it glowing in the dark, too. Oh, and it gets better: tap the watch and both hands collect at midnight, and...

140 Characters Or Less

nobody@vox.com(Manon-It-All) — Sat, 18 Apr 2009 11:49:54 -0400

About 15 years ago I started hanging out at a chat site, and I've been a part of the community there ever since. For the most part, we're a pretty cool bunch... I met one of my bridesmaids there and we are still RT friends... and we do stuff like...
