Right now I am: Freaking out a bit about our end of program symposium on Wednesday. In typical fashion everything is shaping up to “fall together” at the last minute. That is just not the way I flow. I also have to finish my presentation by tomorrow morning (thus, why I’m procrastinating and writing a [...]

Posted in Random on 18/03/2012 | Leave a Comment »
I was shocked to hear the news that This American Life is retracting their January 6th episode “Mr Daisey Goes to the Apple Factory” that I was raving about just last weekend. I have not had a chance yet to listen to this weeks episode (called Retraction) where they detail the errors and fabrications in [...]
Thoughts on equality

I came across this quote by Joss Whedon (of Buffy the Vampire fame) through my random surfing of the Internets and just had to share it. In his speech for the “Equality Now” foundation he describes how he is asked basically the same question every time he is interviewed: Why do you write strong women [...]

How does one break out of this rut? How does an average Jane let the world know she is not so average? How do you tell them that I have something great inside of me that is dying to come out? I shared this video on Facebook today, but had to share it here too [...]
A few random things for Friday

Right now I am: Not training for my 10k thanks to injuries. First extensor tendinitis in my left foot and now runners knee in my right knee (Mind you both ailments have been self-diagnosed using the Internets.) Extensor tendinitis is treated with rest – my favorite kind of treatment. Runners knee requires strengthening the leg [...]
One more thought on “MWF Seeking BFF”

I remembered one more tidbit that I wanted to write about from “MWF Seeking BFF” The CEO of a website that the Match.com of girl-friendships tells the author, “I’ve found that most of us need to meet with somebody twice a month for three months before we will consider them a friend.” It was a [...]

A few weeks ago I was chatting on the phone Skype with my sister and mentioned how it feels like all of my friends are leaving Lesotho. It is a given that as an expat your social circle will change continuously. I don’t know for sure, but I have a theory that the cycle is [...]
Political junkie

Some of you may not know that I worked in politics for 3 years in Washington, DC before my career in public health. Although I was a Political Science major in college I couldn’t pinpoint when I decided to get personally involved in politics. In college I got credit for being a volunteer on the [...]
Insane courage

I’m really loving this quote right now: You know, sometimes all you need is twenty seconds of insane courage. Just literally twenty seconds of just embarrassing bravery. And I promise you, something great will come of it. Matt Damon as Benjamin Mee in “We Bought a Zoo” (2011) Found via Ali Edwards weekly newsletter
Christmas Music Organization

It’s not a secret that I’m a bit of a Christmas music nut. I may or may not have almost 500 songs in my collection … That said, not every song in my collection is created equal. With my non-Christmas music I am much more of a song person than an album person. I will [...]
