“Capricorn Fifteens. Year of the city – 2274. Carosel begins. *BONG*” Well, it’s arrived. The last day in the old office space. On of my coworkers was in line ahead of me at Starbucks and mentioned the move, so now my Starbucks knows. This makes me more sad than anything …
So, I got off my ass Saturday morning and headed up to one of my favorite places in Philly: Eastern State Penitentiary. I usually try to get there once a year, if not more, especially when family visits–the old prison and Elfreth’s Alley are my two must-see places for people …
Realized I haven’t actually posted over here for a bit. Updated the Batch #2 and #3 pages, but other than that it’s been quiet here. As I mentioned over on my author blog, both Steph and I have decided to kick-start our writing again by taking part in the 100 …
I received my official acceptance to the Master of Science in Forensic Science Program at Drexel University for this coming fall. Yes, that GRE I took wasn’t for naught. Now I get to fuss with various forms, figure out loans, etc., and work with work once I get my schedule. …

Yesterday I put up my second batch of beer. Today I’m tackling the tricksy one-gallon kit that Steph got me for my bday…aka, the kit that started it all. So far, so good, albeit way more involved. I basically got to learn how to make my own malt extract–mash, sparge, …
My greatest failing by far is my temper. It led to pen throwing and tablet (paper) slamming in debate, and bit of wall kicking and other physical flailing during bad fencing meets. And in seventh grade it nearly led to me getting into a fist-fight with in the girls locker …
I went on a bit of a T-shirt buying binge this weekend. I wasn’t entirely happy with the fit of my Ignorance is bondage. Unlock your mind. So, I poked around on CaféPress and picked up not one, but three new shirts. Feminism: the radical idea that women are people; …
