Reassessment
I’ve come back to Tumblr. Glad to know you’re all still here, that the space is still welcoming. I missed you guys.
2011 was chaotic. January 2012 was hell.
I can’t tell you most of it, much as I’d like to, as cathartic as it would be to scream my confusion into the blogosphere. Isn’t that what this space is for - community, sharing, personal narrative, and seeking...

Geek Mom Cooking: Grilled Veggies and Chicken...
I hate cooking. Everything I make takes 30 minutes and involves about 4 ingredients… except for this particular dinner. This one’s still pretty simple but takes forever because we ‘grill’ with our indispensable George Foreman Grill. Seriously, if you only ever buy one seemingly nonsensical item, let it be this grill.

My (Silent) Day in Court
I’ve lived in three non-profit housing co-operatives over the last 17 years, and I’ve served on the Board of Directors in each. Being on the Board mostly means attending long meetings which are mostly administrative. Occasionally we have to intervene with co-op members who are involved in neighbor conflicts or don’t pay their rent, and this is obviously the more interesting...

3D Movies - please, just stop
Some good articles about 3D movies and (hopefully) the death of the trend:
The Dying of The Light - Roger Ebert
A Movie Lover’s Plea - Boston.com
Are We Seeing the Light About Dim 3D? - Toronto Star (links over to the first two)
Ebert has been particularly vociferous about the 3D fad, and I hope he keeps it up. I physically cannot watch movies in 3D; I have a lazy eye, and the glasses...
