I'm in the middle of bouncing between four cities and three states. So today, I'm going to tell you about the things I currently keep in my suitcase that keep me sane. And by sane, I mean not succumbing to TravelRage (TM.) [Pictured: Season one of Haven on DVD, The Lake House on DVD, Things We Think About Games, tin of dice, laptop, underside of suitcase. Not pictured: flask, cell phone, Kindle, camera.]  1. Haven: Season One. If setting the show in Maine, and having the presence of a … [Read more...]

16 September 2009 by 2 Comments

Last weekend I was able to go to Los Angeles for a few days. I wasn't really there to be a tourist, but I wanted to fit in at least a little sightseeing, as it was my first extended amount of time in LA. I saw the Chinese Theater, I saw the Hollywood sign, but the first thing I saw? The very first day?  … [Read more...]

e’s Feed Favorites – 7/2/08

2 July 2008 by 2 Comments

It's my first Feed Favorites after my Europe trip!  I had to declare Google Reader Bankruptcy when I got back because I had over 1000 posts in my Reader.  I have about 1000 or so posts per week that are in my Reader, and that's just the Geeky ones.  I have a folder with some dating sites' feeds (none of which are terribly good), and some writing/blogging sites. But let's start today's Feed Faves with a little ditty I got from a friend that is... disturbing and funny. … [Read more...]

Packing Light: 16 days in Europe in a 20 inch duffel

11 June 2008 by 9 Comments

This trip I'll be on from the 12th - 27th is business-related pleasure. As I've told some of you, this tour involves about 300 people, 250 of whom are minors. Because I did the same trip in 2006, I have the advantage of knowing exactly what I didn't need last time. On the last tour, I took a small, carry-on sized suitcase and a backpack. This year, my goal was to fit everything into a 20" duffel. When I see the kids wheeling up their max-sized suitcases, huffing and puffing, I'm going … [Read more...]
