An old style typewriter sits on a table

Seeking closure

a sign reads: "fight today for a better tomorrow"

A letter to APSA leadership

Two feet, clad in red Chucks, stand at the entrance of a maze on a green floor.

Living in the not-knowing

Books on a brown shelf with a teal background

Favorite reads of 2023

A wooden sign reading "retreat" with green foliage in the background

An autistic on retreat

An actual jungle

Welcome to … the jungle?

Ma & Pa Norell – lounging on the lanai

LizJuly 23, 2004July 23, 2004

In case you haven’t heard, my parents have decided to buy a new house in Hawaii, on Oahu (the island with Honolulu). They’re buying a brand-new townhouse that will be finished sometime around next March. As they don’t plan to rent it out to short-term vacationers or anything, official “Friends of Liz” will one day …

While we’re in quiz mode …

LizJuly 21, 2004July 21, 2004

Some time back, Scott sent me a link to a Snob Quiz on the PBS site. I think the original/old quiz is gone, but there’s a new Snob Quiz available now! So I want to hear from you all: What’s your score? Post in the comments section! I am officially 57% snob. Here’s their description: …

Ha! Evidence of my moderate-ness!

LizJuly 21, 2004July 21, 2004

Take the “Red or Blue: Which are you?” quiz to see where you fall. I’m “in the middle,” almost dead center. Take that, all you conservatives who call me a liberal! 😛

Will Ferrell as Darren?

LizJuly 21, 2004July 21, 2004

I heard from a coworker today at our “mini staff retreat” — we were chatting over lunch — that Will Ferrell has been tapped to play Darren in the “Bewitched” movie. Apparently, there’s also a rumor that they’re going to switch actors mid-movie. {giggle}

LizJuly 20, 2004July 20, 2004

Porn for Puritans at the MAC (McKinney Avenue Contemporary theater) GuideLive.com picked this as one of their recommended activities — so I bought a couple of tickets for this Thursday.

a random act of kindness

LizJuly 20, 2004July 20, 2004

Last night, I had my biweekly date with my trainer, Sarah — my first in ten days because of my trip to DC. I arrived a bit early to change clothes and warm up on the treadmill before we got started. Just as I was wrapping things up on the treadmill, a random woman who …

We need hot dates!

LizJuly 19, 2004July 19, 2004

OK, so I probably shouldn’t be sharing this — but I cannot resist. This picture came in today from Iraq. They’re wearing t-shirts from the Texas Woman’s University Pioneers. By the way, their sign reads: “WE NEED HOT DATES”

Note to self:

LizJuly 18, 2004July 18, 2004

These are just a few lines I heard in various contexts (not the least of which was the completely hilarious Will Ferrell movie, “Anchorman”) today that I strongly feel ought to appear in everyday conversation more often.
