So,... http://www.excitingconfessions.com/archives/2005/11/50077.html http://www.excitingconfessions.com/archives/2005/11/50077.html Tue, 29 Nov 2005 23:27:11 -0500 Thanks to those of you who stopped by to cheer me on. I just wanted to offer a noveling update. So, I’ve written 30,000 words in 16 days. That’s more than my entire senior thesis in college, and consequently more... http://www.excitingconfessions.com/archives/2005/11/still_going.html http://www.excitingconfessions.com/archives/2005/11/still_going.html Wed, 16 Nov 2005 16:19:57 -0500 As you can see from the little pencil-toting runner icon over there on the right, I'm doing National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo for short) this November. It's the third day, and I passed 5,000 words this morning, so I'm on... http://www.excitingconfessions.com/archives/2005/11/noveling.html http://www.excitingconfessions.com/archives/2005/11/noveling.html Thu, 03 Nov 2005 12:54:42 -0500 So yes, I'm aware that it's not February, and that I've thus had a misleadingly titled entry up here for the past month. I'd like to be updating this more than once a month, really I would, but I seem... http://www.excitingconfessions.com/archives/2005/03/brief_update_me.html http://www.excitingconfessions.com/archives/2005/03/brief_update_me.html Thu, 31 Mar 2005 23:19:53 -0500 This is life: It’s the last day of February and there is fresh snow on the ground and we have mice living in our stove. I can hardly blame them; it’s warm and comfortable in there, in the narrow space... http://www.excitingconfessions.com/archives/2005/02/this_is_februar.html http://www.excitingconfessions.com/archives/2005/02/this_is_februar.html Mon, 28 Feb 2005 22:56:20 -0500 So, I was sitting at my desk, finally getting around to finishing up my thank-you notes (just like Sars told me to), when the strong smell of gas, or something similarly noxious, wafted into the room. I sniffed a few... http://www.excitingconfessions.com/archives/2005/01/philly_pd_at_yo.html http://www.excitingconfessions.com/archives/2005/01/philly_pd_at_yo.html Wed, 19 Jan 2005 00:17:04 -0500 So, despite to my late-night fears to the contrary, described in last week’s entry, we were able to find a cottage for the week after the wedding. I think it may have been the cheapest one we came across in... http://www.excitingconfessions.com/archives/2005/01/no_motor_lodge.html http://www.excitingconfessions.com/archives/2005/01/no_motor_lodge.html Tue, 18 Jan 2005 00:38:47 -0500 So last night, my head just wouldn’t shut up. There’s something about Sunday nights, this killer combination of factors: You’ve been staying up late and sleeping in for the past few days, so you’re not as tired as you should... http://www.excitingconfessions.com/archives/2005/01/you_know_that_o.html http://www.excitingconfessions.com/archives/2005/01/you_know_that_o.html Mon, 10 Jan 2005 12:51:24 -0500 This past summer, I was in the bookstore in Boothbay Harbor, Maine with my sister and my cousin, browsing for art supplies because we’d gotten it into our heads that we wanted to play with crayons, when lo and behold,... http://www.excitingconfessions.com/archives/2005/01/im_a_daaay_plan.html http://www.excitingconfessions.com/archives/2005/01/im_a_daaay_plan.html Sun, 09 Jan 2005 23:05:07 -0500 It's 1:30 p.m. and I'm about to go to lunch, when a large pastel Hello Kitty ballon flies past my eighteenth-floor window, bobs around the back of the eastern Commerce Square tower, then moves north, higher and higher, her mylar... http://www.excitingconfessions.com/archives/2004/12/flight_of_the_k.html http://www.excitingconfessions.com/archives/2004/12/flight_of_the_k.html Mon, 13 Dec 2004 13:30:36 -0500 So I’ve been thinking a lot lately about the process of growing up, making the transition from a “young adult” into an adult-adult. Maybe it’s the getting married thing, or the realizing I’ll be 30 before we have a new... http://www.excitingconfessions.com/archives/2004/11/you_know_from_m.html http://www.excitingconfessions.com/archives/2004/11/you_know_from_m.html Thu, 18 Nov 2004 14:07:27 -0500 As I’m walking home down 13th street tonight, Guy Chillin’ Outside Pizza Place* checks me out (in my oh-so-provocative outfit of loose black suit pants, puffy down jacket and wool scarf, no less) and says, “Hell-Oh – Aaand I’m not... http://www.excitingconfessions.com/archives/2004/11/the_shy_exhibit.html http://www.excitingconfessions.com/archives/2004/11/the_shy_exhibit.html Wed, 17 Nov 2004 23:46:13 -0500 really is worth far more than words. Maybe that's why, of all the responses I've seen to Tuesday's Bush win, "Sorry, Everybody" seems to be the most captivating. I'm thinking of sending in a photo to them. In the days... http://www.excitingconfessions.com/archives/2004/11/sometimes_a_pic.html http://www.excitingconfessions.com/archives/2004/11/sometimes_a_pic.html Sun, 07 Nov 2004 02:20:43 -0500 There's nothing quite like a great jukebox -- where you can play some of your favorite songs, and hear them bumped up in unexpected combinations with songs you never would have chosen. So how exciting is it that Lost Highway... http://www.excitingconfessions.com/archives/2004/10/my_new_hangout.html http://www.excitingconfessions.com/archives/2004/10/my_new_hangout.html Mon, 18 Oct 2004 18:03:59 -0500 Last night, 6 PM, corner of 34th and Sansom: I was balancing on one foot by some newspaper boxes, changing out of my 1994-era olive-green Converse into black Camper mary janes.
