Adventures with Dr. Lady Cutie Troublemaker

Here I am. Christmas Eve. I spent last night with Renee. Renee, her husband Reid, her baby Clara, my friend Tatyana, and her sig other Jim all went to breakfast. VERY yummy. Next I had a coffee with my ex, then I came over here to Caitlin’s, and I’ve been making cookies for Santa with her Caitlin’s daughter Sophie. In a little while, I’m driving to Jasper where my parents live for a Christmas Eve party, then tomorrow is the big day.

I said goodbye to Aaron last night after 6 fun-filled days in San Francisco with Tribe friends. I wish he could join me, but he’s got his own family stuff in Florida. I feel bad that he has to scoot around so much. Once I hit Jasper, I’m mostly hanging around until it’s time to fly back to Memphis. Lots of fun, this not working thing.

I’ve been getting messages in my inbox about May graduation, which makes me think that when I get back, it’s dissertation time! Ugh!

No, must not think about that! Only fun and holidays and stuff.

Blogging to you live from San Francisco. This is such a silly town. It’s like an entire town of Obies (that’s Oberlin students). What is most lovely is the fact that when I turn on my PDA, there are generally about 5 networks to choose from. Now if I only had all the passwords. It’s a wired town, and I’m a wired gal. I’ve just taken a really amusing photograph of the power strip I packed at the last minute (brilliant idea, BTW) with all of Aaron’s and my gadgets. There are two cell phones, two PDA’s, and a battery charger! We’re heading over to Morning Due in a minute for coffee and free WiFi. As a 5-year Palm user, I’m pretty happy with my Pocket PC. Only drawback is its nonrelationship with GMail. It’s a hassle. Also, the browser tends to close when I open Blogger, so I’m on Aaron’s Mac. I realized the coolest thing this morning. I forgot to download a Berkeley map when I got my SF map from Mapopolis, but I was able to log on directly from my PDA and download it right to my device. I love that! This is the freakin’ life. Here, people speak Internet. It’s a nice break from the luddites in the city schools. Love ‘em, but I don’t understand their technophobia. It’s beyond me. OK, gotta go have some experiences so y’all’ll have something to read later!

(BTW, Mark… wasn’t Bari divine?!!)

See? Google has the right idea. They give stuff away for free, and that’s why people like them. Also, their ads aren’t intrusive, so I don’t mind them. I actually click on them sometimes! They seem to have respect for their comsumers’ intelligence and freedom to choose what they want and what they don’t. I hope they don’t lose that as they get huger and huger!!!

Google, Google Local, Google Desktop, GMail, Froogle, Google Labs, Google Sets, Google Scholar, Google Suggest, Google Compute, Google SMS, Google Groups… They really have the right idea. I’d do links for all those sites, but you know what? If you want to find them, just Google them!
