About me
If you were to throw up your hands in exasperation and yell "it's the story of my life," what would you be talking about?
It would involve getting something I didn't want and/or not getting something I did want. The jury's still out on the getting-what-I-need part.
Besides SMITH, I read stories at:
thisamericanlife.org. OK, that's not reading, but truth be told, I listen to more stories than I read. Ira Glass rocks my world. Also, I've somewhat belatedly become a fan of The Moth. Am currently loving the podcast.
In bed I like to read:
but only sometimes.
My favorite story of all time is:
impossible to choose, but the other day I was thinking that 'A Fine Balance' might be the best novel I ever read.
Right now, I'm reading:
'The River's Tale: A Year on the Mekong' by Edward Gargan (because that's where I am, though it hasn't been a year yet).
Latest Memoir (of 126):
I'm the queen of half-assed relationships.
- I'm the queen of half-assed relationships.
- Barcelona. Traveling again. Wonderful. But temporary.
- Grant's almost up. Find another job.
- Only regret: visiting that damned volcano.
- Now I'm the reverse Liz Gilbert.
- Depressed. Sick of traveling. Going home.
- Saw nothing in Christchurch but Avatar.
- New Zealand next. Hoping for inspiration.
- Turned 41. Less fun than 40.
- Tasmanian roadtrip: gorgeous scenery, too-young companions.
- Rained-out picnic. Spontaneous house party ensued.
- New Year’s beach picnic. Loving Melbourne.
- Not healed but traveling anew. Again.
- Castlemaine: friends, food, drink, crosswords, Christmas.
- Ten-day meditation retreat. Mind still chattering.
