Finally, someone with sense

February 4, 2002 Stephanie Leary

Yahoo headline: "Pediatrics panel endorses gay adoption". 'Bout damn time. Did we really need a bunch of doctors to tell us that adoption by a couple of stable adults is better than foster care, or better yet, an orphanage? What are we, Puritans? … [Read more...] about Finally, someone with sense

Satisfaction guaranteed?

January 23, 2002 Stephanie Leary

One bedroom apartment plus boyfriend. So here is the deal: you have a great smile and a heart of gold, and you also need to have curtain rods and hopefully a good floor lamp.

Container Store

January 10, 2002 Stephanie Leary

The reason I went to the hardware store tonight is that I was looking for substitutes for some elfa stuff, the real thing being more expensive than I care for. They didn't have quite what I wanted, so I might have to spring for the good stuff. The Container Store is evil. On … [Read more...] about Container Store

Tulips

January 10, 2002 Stephanie Leary

I planted my tulip bulbs tonight, about two weeks later than I'd planned to. I hope this year goes better than last, when I planted about 70 bulbs and got 3 blooms for my trouble.

Dreams

December 16, 2001 Stephanie Leary

More weird dreams last night. This time I was in my high school Spanish class with people from VP. Johnzo was both the teacher's pet and the subversive kid, the one who stole her keys to get them copied for future mischief. I'm off to a wedding today, of my college dorm … [Read more...] about Dreams

Useless items found while cleaning

December 15, 2001 Stephanie Leary

- two coiled-up network cables, only one belonging to me – my wrist brace, needed last night – the cradle for my broken Palm* – an end fitting for a coax cable, still in the Radio Shack packaging* – empty water bottles, courtesy of my dear, darling … [Read more...] about Useless items found while cleaning

Steph in space

December 15, 2001 Stephanie Leary

I had some crazy dreams last night. In one of them, I was the captain of a three-person mission into space. I think we landed on another planet and did some poking around, but I'm not sure. What I remember clearly is landing back on earth (in a field of flowers quite reminiscent … [Read more...] about Steph in space
