Adventures with Dr. Lady Cutie Troublemaker

Life is in flux BIG TIME these days. I want to keep in touch with all of my peeps. The Internet is this beautiful thing. I can move to a brand new city and still stay in easy, near-daily contact with the people I love. When I feel connected to the people in my life that matter, I am unstoppable!

Pictures Other People Have Taken of Me

In Boston, I was the main camera wielder. Here, there are other people who travel with cameras. How novel!

My Friend Joseph has Impeccable Karma!

By Abby at 1:19 am on Monday, January 15, 2007

What a great idea! Joseph (of JP Neighbors for Neighbors fame) has resolved to wear a name tag for the whole year. He’s a connector and loves meeting strangers just like me, but he brings it to a “whole nother level”. He’s another of JP’s local treasures. I love his idea. Go Joseph!

JP Contingent

Update: A new article about it.

Move-In Ramble

By Abby at 2:22 am on Saturday, January 13, 2007

Time to ramble!

I was feeling just fine a few hours ago, but now I have a stomachache, a headache, and a toothache. None severe, but all annoying. The toothache has been brewing, and I’ve been hoping that it might go away on its own, but I’m afraid it is not to be. Usually when I go to the dentist, my parents are out a couple thou!

Yesterday, everything I own arrived at my apartment. I unpacked several boxes today. As a result, I just ate pasta from a REAL BOWL! I mean, I guess the other bowl I bought it real, but it’s not ceramic. It’s some plasticky substance you can throw at the floor, and it doesn’t break. Having one bowl, one plate, one glass, and one mug is not as fun as you might think.

I’ve decided that jewel cases take up too much space, and since I have probably about a thousand CD’s to house, I’ve decided to throw all these unnecessary jewel cases away. I’m jettisoning the part of the paper that is encased in the back of the case – takes too long to take the case apart. Anyway, nowadays, the pyooter just tells me which track is which. Honestly, for the discs I really love, either I know which tracks I like OR I like the whole thing beginning to end. Over the years, I have gotten rid of many of the discs that had only one song I liked. My solution: I’ve ordered a pack of 1,000 ricepaper sleeves for $40 and 4 heavy cardboard CD boxes for $3.20 each. Not bad, huh?

I know this is dull, but I’m usually such a regular blogger, and I’ve been a little “off” lately, not sleeping well, and not exactly sure what to do next. That said, I’m pretty happy socially. I’m meeting new people and am remaining in touch with the old favorites in Boston. That’s what I was hoping for, and so far, so good. I just wanted to stay in touch with my readers and satisfy those who have been whining about the excessive number of tech posts. You know who you are, LOOZAHS!!!

Everything I Own

By Abby at 11:38 am on Thursday, January 11, 2007

Today, a truck arrives from Boston carrying everything I own! If anyone from Raleigh is bored this weekend and wants to spend an hour or two helping me unpack, I will cook you food and owe you one. 😀

In Case You Missed It: The Subway Superman

By Abby at 1:21 am on Wednesday, January 10, 2007

I was surprised at how many people missed this story, so just in case…

The guy seems very cool, too. Just did his thing, and I love how he explained on Letterman what he heard in his head before he jumped down to save the guy, “I was thinking someone has to save him. Fool, YOU have to save him”. Click that last link and watch it. I mean, just watch that graphic. Unreal!
