Welcome!

Aha. So it seems you’ve found me. Not that I was hiding or anything; I mean, that would be easy enough on the web, right? I mean it’s far easier to not put up a website, after all. But anyway, here you are.

You may be wondering what there is to do now that you are here. Well, there are several things. There are movie reviews, book reviews, and television reviews, to start with. There are recipes. There are games. There are articles and essays about all sorts of things, from silly stuff to politics to rants about any topic. There are stories and poems. There is art. There is a huge picture gallery. There is a webcam (though it isn’t on very often because I haven’t gotten it to work totally right under Windows Vista) and a personal journal. You can also read my dream journal if you like, though it gets pretty weird in there. There is a forum full of the friendliest people you’ll find on the internet, ready to welcome you to our community. There’s lots more, but that’s a start at least.

All that stuff can be found either from the buttons at the top or the links down the left side of the page in that paper scroll looking thingie. (Do notice that depending on where you are—for example, the gallery pages or my journal—the links on the left may offer additional options.) Poke around, try not to get lost, have fun, tell your friends. Oh, and pack a lunch.

A Juggling Romance--How Dan and Katherine Met (smaller video)

This is the video that played (partially) before the ceremony at our wedding (though I did add some stuff later, since I had some time). Dan and I met in 2004 at a juggling festival in Buffalo, NY. This is a retelling of that story, with some…err…artistic liberties taken. And fancy special effects. Very fancy.

That One Time I Barely Survived Hitchhiking

Right after I turned 18, my boyfriend and I were at Bentley’s coffee shop, and I was going to spend the night at his apartment at River and La Canada. Problem was, neither of us had a car and it was 11pm, so no buses. Being idiots, we naturally decided to hitchhike…

What is up with fortune cookies, Part II

This is a followup to my previous article, What is up with fortune cookies these days? which I wrote after friends and I received some very strange “fortunes” in our fortune cookies.

Well, it’s happened again. Different restaurant. Three of these are just weird. One of those three is just stupid. Then the fourth one is just made of 100% pure awesome, and it was, appropriately, the one in my cookie.

The first weird one...

Calling all Tellers of Tall Tales!

I’m putting together a video that will be played at our wedding (May 24, 2009), and one of the things I want to have is a bunch of people telling stories of how they “allegedly” heard we met. We want these to be as wacky as possible, and I know that my friends are a creative bunch. The format would be along the lines of these:

“I heard Dan and Katherine met…”
“Oh, Dan and Katherine?...

    Graduation pictures

    So the professional photos from graduation are done and I got the little thing in the mail trying to get me to pay scads of money to order them in every shape and size. I did order an 8 x 10, but will be scanning and printing at home for any additional copies/sizes. Decided not to buy the $50 plastic frame that holds a 5x7 plus your tassel (5x7 and tassel not included) or any...

    Tornadoes and Trains

    While on the cruise ship on our honeymoon, I had a bad dream. It is kind of funny because it contained not one but TWO of my weird things-I-always-dream-about-but-don't-know-why elements: trains and tornadoes.

    Dan and I were on a train traveling across some sort of odd countryside... it was sort of deserty, but there were rocky outcroppings (not quite mountains) here and there. I looked out the window and saw that head in the...
