The End Approacheth

Saturday, November 21st, 2009

The end of the semester is almost upon us, so there has been a rapid increase in end-of-the-year parties (before final exams consume our last waking seconds). I wonder if my contracts professor will remember yelling at me for drunkenly singing and dancing to “Hollaback Girl” at the beer bust event held in the law [...]

Grandpa Rob

Saturday, September 5th, 2009

Grandma Vivian and Grandpa Rob visiting for Easter in 2005. Grandpa Rob with Jared after my high school graduation. My grandfather passed away this morning. September 25, 1925 – September 5, 2009. After a slow and steady battle with cancer, and under the loving care and attention of his children the last few weeks as [...]

Yet more baby pics and improving news

Friday, September 4th, 2009

More cuteness (feat. baby smiling or possibly pooping… it’s so hard to tell at that age) It looks like my endless whining about the financial aid department is coming to an end. The administration took some proactive and heplful steps this morning to speed up the student loan processing/refund system and to provide assistance to [...]

Cute little thing

Wednesday, September 2nd, 2009

Baby Ace seems to be healthy and happy. And cute. I’m finding my routine with law school, but it really is as busy as everyone says it is. I’m trying to stay a little bit ahead in my reading, but it took a lot of discipline to resist watching Weeds or True Blood until I [...]

Space Ace

Tuesday, August 18th, 2009

This is Owen Ace: He’s 6lbs 4oz and 18.5 inches and was born a few weeks earlier than expected. He is my third nephew, sixth among the fruits of my siblings’ wombs. My sister Jacki’s first (and threatened only) child with her husband Patrick. Please say hello to him and welcome him to the world, [...]

I’ve identified the problem

Friday, August 14th, 2009

Here’s the thing about moving to a new city: You can’t see it, but there’s a really, really tiny circle labeled “things I say to cute guys I meet at bars.” Anyway, there’s a whole lotta family stuff happening this week. We’re talking birth, death, birthdays, road trips, conflict, sickness, reunions and all the assorted [...]

Simply Mad

Wednesday, July 29th, 2009

Apparently everyone is doing it (see also: many of my Twitter friends), so since it doesn’t take too much time or effort, here’s my Mad Men Yourself character: I wish they had a setting between underwear model and fatso in body type, but I guess this is close enough. My throat feels raw today. I [...]

Mascot Contest Challenge 3 – Character & Symbolism

Saturday, July 18th, 2009

Welcome back to the third challenge in our Great Blind Prophecy Mascot Contest. Sorry it’s been so long in coming. Technical delays and the upcoming move to New York have made it difficult to get everything together, but the awesome guest judges made it worth the wait! As the contest builds, competition is getting more [...]

Father’s Day

Sunday, June 21st, 2009

I love my daddy. I also love my grandpas (not pictured). That is all.

Updates

Wednesday, March 18th, 2009

I can’t tell you how much I adored Natasha Richardson’s performances in the 1998 revival of Cabaret (or, her performance on the CD, anyway, since I never saw it live). I’m a fan of Liza with a Z as much as any theatre queer, but I doubt I’d have really paid this musical much attention [...]
