I have been in a creative slump recently. No blog posting, no scrapbooking. However, there have been plenty of other things going on to keep me busy. Since mid-September I have gone to: Joburg with girlfriends for Taste of Joburg Sehlabathebe National Park – an 8 hour drive from Maseru See Coldplay in concert at [...]

Source: piccsy.com via Lynnette on Pinterest I’ve been a terrible blogger. There is so much to catch up on from my April travels that I’ve been too overwhelmed to start. I decided that I just need to jump back into it. So I came across this image on Pinterest and laughed really hard. I could [...]
Postmortem on The Wire

As I mentioned previously, last week I finished a year-long effort with friends to watch all 5 seasons of the best television show EVER, also known as The Wire. I first learned of The Wire when I moved to Baltimore and everyone started asking me, “Have you seen The Wire? You have to watch The [...]

I sent an email today to colleagues telling them that I will be in the office for 5 days in April. FIVE DAYS. How awesome is that? During that time I will be checking off one of the items on my 17 Before 2017 list – biennial sister trips. Okay, it’s the first of many [...]

This video showed up on Facebook yesterday via the U.S. Embassy in Gabs. I was moved to tears watching it. One of the people – Beauty Mahatelo – was not my direct counterpart but played a huge role during my first two years in Molepolole. So to hear her say such nice things about PCVs [...]

I will write more about this, but just had to quickly say that it can’t be a coincidence that all 5 seasons of The Wire went on sale the very same day I am finishing a year-long undertaking with friends to watch all 5 seasons of The Wire. I would be completely tempted to purchase [...]

Five years ago on March 17th I landed in Johannesburg with 27 people who would become lifelong friends. (I will always remember the exact date because it was St. Patrick’s Day and [...]
Trip Down Memory Lane OR A review of “Staring Down the Brilliant Dream” by the Indigo Girls
Posted in Random on 31/01/2011 | 2 Comments »
I have been an Indigo Girls fan since my freshman year at SUU. I was introduced to them by my cooler, older friends on the debate team. Listening to them always reminds me of long van rides to debate tournaments around the West Coast. Especially 1200 Curfew. That will ALWAYS be my favorite Indigo Girl [...]

Cool find in Berlin

I found this cool wall calendar at the shop in the Bauhaus Archive in Berlin over Christmas/New Years. I hung it up in my office today. It’s black on one side and blue on the other. Fortunately the blue side is also the side in English. I think it was the small post-its to mark [...]
