I like looking outside when it’s snowing so heavily. It almost looks like day outside.

won the St. James halloween costume contest even though my costume was not actually St. James-related. (This wig can do ANYTHING!!!)
$125 later, I once again have TWO wheels on my bike. My vita is much easier to ride now that it’s no longer a unicycle!

Just bought a Nokia Nuron yesterday. What a truly terrible phone. I’d rather not have a smartphone than cope with this thing.
now wait a second, where did I put that motivation? I know I had it this morning, but it’s nowhere to be found at the moment…
1 pm and still in my PJs getting stuff done — yes this is definitely a good birthday.
I suddenly love red sox fans. http://j.mp/ac0bw4 (via @ebertchicago)

This incredibly fun site comes straight from Rufus King Dissertation, and I spent a good 10 minutes clicking around on it (I had to turn off the audio after about a minute, however).

I saw this piece on how to cook for the vegan who’s coming to your house for thanksgiving a bit too late, but thought I’d link it anyway in case anyone needs tips on what to do for Christmas…

twitter is much lamer now that it’s not the baseball season, and I no longer own an iPod touch.

Last night, my brewing partner Nina and I bottled our first batch of beer in about a year (!!!). Why the quiet period? Well, I love homebrewing, but with one thing and another I’d been a bit down…

I’m a big reader, as I’ve said before. However, grad school and my new bike (which takes away my subway reading hour) have taken a toll on my novel reading, unfortunately. And I have lately…
so tired of feeling under the weather. Damn you, change of seasons!
Got a google wave invite. Spent exactly ten seconds on site before realizing I had no one to wave at. Back to gmail.

When I was a kid, I LOVED my electric blanket. My parents never kept my house all that warm, but as long as I had my electric blanket, I didn’t mind at all. I would turn it up all the way and…

Hi, I’m Julia, and I’m scatterbrained. Have always been, and will likely always be. For years, I could mark the passage of time not by days or months, but instead by how often I lost my keys….

When I’m not listening to audiobooks, I’m often listening to podcasts. I thought I’d write a post discussing some of my favorites in that genre.
Easily my favorite podcast is Slate’s…
the cat is being all sweet and cuddly! Yay! but man does she ever smell awful. Ugh.

Everyone’s always asking me why I’m a vegan, and whether or not I’d it meat/eggs/dairy in various circumstances, and so on. I thought I’d write a blog post explaining exactly why I love being a…

Was biking home last night and thought “hey! This is Halloween weather!” Can’t believe it.
