12 of 12: March

Welcome to 12 of 12; for more 12-ish hijinks or more information, see Chad Darnell's blog.

On with the show:


6:50 - Up. In the dark. Ugh.




7:04 - Sherlock = Jimmy Stewart in Rear Window.




7:41 - Not running for the bus, which is always a good sign.




10:30 - I worry that I'm getting into Rachael Ray territory when I say that homemade waffles reheat perfectly in the toaster. Before you know it, I'll be washing and cutting up my veggies right when I buy them, and then coating them in some EVOO and whipping up some sammies. Oy. (They do, though. Toast well, I mean.)



11:17 - Entering (my own) edits on a book of American idioms, while also re-writing the depressing and/or tawdry sentences included by the author.




5:15 - What is this "spring" of which you speak?




5:40 - Riding the escalator out of Dupont Circle metro. The quotation inscribed on the wall is (apparently) from the Walt Whitman poem "The Wound Dresser": "Thus in silence in dreams' projections....Some suffer so much, I recall the experience sweet and sad,..."




6:37 - Out for a run at the National Cathedral.




6:39 - The gate to the gardens at the cathedral, which I hereby adopt as my extended backyard, for all of my running, walking, basking, contemplating, nature-admiring, and reading needs.




7:40 - Chickpea and pasta soup, my current simple dinner of choice. The key here, as with basically everything else in life, is extra olive oil and double the garlic.




8:05 - Happy times: Hot soup, cuddly cat, Jon Stewart on my TV.




8:47 - Writing about 80's live-action Disney movies for Cinema Hype. I love me some Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson--who doesn't?--but Race to Witch Mountain, I cannot support.

See you next month.

I love how you always remember to take your first shot when you wake up. I always forget :-(
I was driving by the Grand Theatre last weekend and it made me think of you! I wanted to stop and take a photo and send it to you, but I couldn't get my camera out in time while I was driving. Don't know how you did it every month. I'll be ready next time!

Why don't *I* have a cathedral in my back yard, hmm? Oh... I have the Mormon Tabernacle... ohh kay...

Love the cuddly Sherlock pic! I must come visit sometime! We just were visiting Erik's dad and stepmom and their three adorable kitties.

Homemade waffles? Ooh sounds yummy :D I like cuddly Sherlock, and I really like the photo of you and the Cathedral! How cool you get to run past it, and use the grounds as your adopted garden ;-)
