life in williamsburg.

Sunday, January 2nd, 2011

Earlier this week, while I was trying to dig my car out of a snowbank, I found myself having a lot of conversations with neighbors.  (For the record: I did not put my car in a snowbank. I very carefully parked it, before the storm, about midway down the block, so that I wouldn’t be [...]

The New York City marathon route went right past our apartment, and Matt and I (and a couple of our friends) spent a lot of the day watching runners go by.  I was sick all weekend, on and off, but still managed to drag myself, sore throat and all, out of bed and down to [...]

no sleep ’til…

Wednesday, July 9th, 2008

I’ve been so remiss, I know.  The internet comes to our house on Friday, after which point I’ll be around more (and posting more, including the backlogged half-written trip-log posts).  I’m on borrowed neighborhood internet at the moment, which might disappear at any moment, so I’ll be quick. We have an apartment!  Which we are [...]
