Tonight I almost attended a candle-light vigil to call for increased funding for mental health services.
I say almost, because I arrived at the designated place on time, early in fact, and then, despite the best of efforts, the Comedy of Errors began. (To assist you Dear Readers the key points along the Error Trail have […]

Bella is still annoying. So is Edward. Jacob still doesn’t seem to have any shirts to wear. But for all that, it was better than the previous two movies.

I’m living with The French’s temporarily. It’s good and a bit weird all at once. It’s good because living in community is nice, and I like my new housemates, and being part of the whirl of activity.
