I’ve been trying to visit some of the local attractions I’ve missed while living here. I know as soon as I move away I’ll realize there are a hundred other things I wanted to see before I left, I’ll just have to see those when I come back for visits! One of the things on […]

NYE and since
January 11th, 2010 by pleia2
I had a fantastic time with MJ while he was visiting over New Years. To celebrate we met up with some friends in Old City Philadelphia for dinner at Triumph Brewing. I had been to their location in New Hope never been to the one in Philadelphia, and I have to say I prefer their […]

2009 was…
January 2nd, 2010 by pleia2
Full of freedom, adventure, travel, love, success, independence and fun. Sprinkled with just a bit of heartbreak, loss, failure and confusion. In all, the good far weighed out the unfortunate, it was a good year. Looking forward to 2010 being even better!

Movies, Christmas, broken Blinker, the move, F/OSS
December 28th, 2009 by pleia2
I saw The Princess and the Frog with Nita the weekend before last. The verdict? I loved it, probably my favorite movie of the year. It’s no secret that I love Disney animated films, but aside from the standard Pixar gems, none have really captivated me like this one did since Lilo and Stitch back […]

Christmas 1984
December 24th, 2009 by pleia2
This is my second Christmas living by myself. I’m fortunate enough to have friends who have invited me to Christmas festivities both last year and this one so I didn’t need to spend the holiday alone. In spite of not being a Christian, the secular angle of this holiday was important when I was younger. […]
Thanksgiving, gyms, pinball, move planning

I arrived at the Philadelphia airport late Saturday morning following the Ubuntu Developers Summit. The flight out of Dallas at 6-something AM after the UDS wrap-up the night before was a challenge, but I made it. I ended up sleeping the entire flight in a feat of airplane sleeping success that still amazes me, I […]

My father passed away 5 years ago today. I miss you Daddy, you’re still an inspiration.
Moving to San Francisco
December 1st, 2009 by pleia2
The title says it all! Well, not all. I’m moving in February to live in San Francisco (first time living IN a city for me!) with my boyfriend MJ. A lot went into this decision to move and it hasn’t been an easy choice. For the past 8 years I’ve called the Philadelphia area my […]
Blogs on a Plane
November 16th, 2009 by pleia2
This American Airlines flight offers wifi, so I paid $12.95 to get it. Wince, I know, but the novelty! And really not so bad to keep me entertained during the flight. IRC on a plane, w00t! It’s actually pretty decent, my ssh sessions have been quite zippy. It’ll be nice when wifi on flights becomes […]
Hershey Park in the Dark and Scary Movie Week
October 29th, 2009 by pleia2
On Sunday Stephen and I headed out to Hershey Park for Hershey Park in the Dark. It was fun, but I learned a very important lesson that day: I shouldn’t go on roller coasters if I have a sinus headache, for the first time in my life I got physically ill after a roller coaster […]
