flickr meme

Marlena did this great visual meme, and I just had to waste some time playing along.
Interestingly, I ended up with one of Marlena’s photos– of graffiti outside our old high school. And I had forgotten all about that local band of high school guys (Minor Ninth)…
The concept:
a. Type your answer to each of the questions [...]

very cool: a tunnel from NYC to London

I cleaned up my list of favorite blogs and added one of my favorite new blogs, the New York Public Library Blogs. The blog is like crack for information junkies like me (old photos, old ads, old street maps and random information– what more could I ask for?)!
Yesterday, they posted about a “tunnel” from NYC [...]

a new blog

In addition to Watershed, started a new blog, a kind of methods/research journal for my dissertation. It is sort of public, and sort of private. I don’t want it linked all over the place, but I would love for people who are interested to read it and give me their thoughts and feedback as they [...]

tagged

Since I got to meet and hang out with Wicked Anomie in Las Vegas last weekend, I figured I would consider myself tagged on this meme.
The game: open the nearest book to page 123 and reproduce the 6-8th sentence.
Well, the nearest book to me is the one I’ve been reading today– “Qualitative Data Analysis With [...]

lists of eight meme

Flicka Mawa tagged me for this a while ago, and since I am back in Madison and back to the boring day-to-day routine, I thought it was more interesting than anything else I could post right now.
8 passions

trees
photography
traveling
the ocean
snow
reading
books (yes, these are two distinct things)
dark beer

8 things I often say

holy crap!
jeezum freakin’ crow (a Maine [...]

watershed is famous!

If you live in Maine and get the Maine Sunday Telegram, you may have noticed there is an article this weekend in the “Maine Life” section that features my winter driving tips.
Who knew my little blog about grad school and such could be so famous?!

The 5th installment in a long series (don’t forget 1, 2, 3, and 4!)

microwave brine shrimp: I don’t recall ever blogging about these 3 things before…
ashcroft moonshadow: What do Ashcroft and Cat Stevens’ “Moonshadow” have to do with each other? I’m stumped.
girls sticking things up there beaver: I’m not going to comment on this one, [...]

rockin’ at the library

I’ve been tagged by Mary as a “rockin’ girl blogger”. I’m honored, but I don’t know how much I’m “rockin” these days! Let’s see… I’ll tag Marlena because her knitting rocks, Gail over at FidgetyBudgie for her awesome cooking, and well… the other 2 blogs I would tag are now all private. So I’ll just [...]

playing along…

I think I’ll take a break from the flurry of work that is this week (and put off that paper due tomorrow for just a few more minutes) but taking part in Marlena’s meme! It’s been a while since I’ve done one of these…
7 Random Facts:

I sleep on my side only. And I can only [...]

It is my pleasure to announce a new addition to the blogosphere! Check out Madwoman in the Attic. I know this madwoman personally, so I promise it will always be an interesting read!
Now back to my ice pack. After a weekend of not too much jaw pain (and maybe too much talking and eating), my [...]

Watershed’s 15 minutes

I never really imagined this blog would be of any wider public interest. When I write, I think of the friends and family out there who I know read Watershed. I mean, 99% of Watershed is about pretty mundane stuff- grad school, traveling, reading, movies, daily life etc. None of that would be of much [...]

anniversary

Today is my 2 year blogging anniversary. 2 years. That seems crazy. I never thought when I started that it would last this long.
I remembered this anniversary while falling asleep last night and for a brief momment I considered not blogging anymore. But, why stop doing something that I quite frankly enjoy? I really do [...]

a little blog mystery

(First let me say I have the flu and I feel like total crap.)
This morning I found 5 new comments posted to my blog, on this post written about a year ago. They were all from different names- things like "lucy" and "veggie." No email addresses or websites or any other info posted. The comments [...]

how do folks get to my blog 3

It has been well over a year since I last did “how do folks get to my blog” (check out 1 and 2) and since I know of at least one reader who loves them… and I’ve been taking note of the increasingly funny search terms people use to stumble upon my blog, I figured [...]

my love for wordpress grows

I am increasingly happy about my move to wordpress from (what I now consider to be the evil) blogger. I haven’t lost an entry since moving from blogger (wordpress saves as you write) and I adore being able to categorize everything (links, posts etc.). A few weeks ago they added a feature where I could [...]

happy thanksgiving!

Today I am having 2nd thoughts about leaving my old blog behind. I am feeling kind of sentimental about it. But, change and movement are always good. And if I can play around with the template here, it will feel a little more like home. I wish I could import my other blog’s entries… There [...]

my new blog

Welcome to my new home!
I am trying out wordpress. So far, I love it, although I can’t tweak the template or make my own until I move this new blog to another server. That might be a good project for this weekend. Otherwise, I actually like this standard template. And I love that I can [...]

a close call

I was sitting on the bus today, listening to Dar Williams, engrossed in the Beekeeper's Apprentice, when I decided that I was going to stop blogging for a while. I reasoned that I had too much on my plate this semester- that I felt too committed to way too many things. And I didn't want [...]

The Maryann Show

Announcing a new blog!
Check out my sister’s first blog “The Maryann Show”
I must say I kind of helped her name it. We were thinking along the lines of the Mary Tyler Moore Show and the “girl you’re going to make it on your own” part. I think it works perfectly for Maryann!
She thinks her life [...]

happy birthday to my little blog

Yes, folks, knit me more time is a year old today! A year ago I trepidatiously started a blog. Reflecting back on those early entries now, I can see how much and how little has changed, both in my life and in my blogging style.
In terms of my blogging style, I am more “public” than [...]

I added a wonderful new blog to my side bar- Mary’s Half-Assed Gourmet. A brilliant blog! I’ll make those spinach calzones this weekend. I also added a while back, a link to Brady’s blog- he is currently in [...]
