beta cite: Monday of the week and term
http://betacite.blogspot.com/2010/09/monday-of-week-and-term.html
Documenting Existence at Point B. Friday, September 24, 2010. Monday of the week and term. Over the weekend I can’t say I did much, Saturday especially. Then again, I think I needed the break. Sunday was lovely, however. We did our first little group field trip up to Hampstead Heath for a picnic. The view from Parliament Hill is quite the draw, with the whole city laid out to one side and the nicely wooded hills of Highgate on the other. Today was orientation for our students. Tomorrow will be nice.

beta cite: December 2010
http://betacite.blogspot.com/2010_12_01_archive.html
Documenting Existence at Point B. Thursday, December 16, 2010. So, it's late at night, and I'm packed and ready to go. I fell down on the job with this blog after a while (though many of you will remember that I did, in fact, predict its decline), but I am planning on a more extensive reflection of my trip over the next month or so. Will this be regular and consistent? Will it even happen? I don't know. I can't tell you if it will. We'll see. See you all soon. Signing off from London. Zen and banana bread.

beta cite: Calling out the inevitable
http://betacite.blogspot.com/2010/10/calling-out-inevitable.html
Documenting Existence at Point B. Monday, October 4, 2010. Calling out the inevitable. So, a confession. I've had internet. Back for the last few days, but I've found myself swamped by various commitments. I do have an awful lot to share, including reflections on the first couple weeks, the city, our trip to York, and catching up on the work I wasn't doing while I was doing all of those things. Note up for the next few weeks. yeesh. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Know That Which Has Come Before.

beta cite: Move in Days (Day 3-4)
http://betacite.blogspot.com/2010/09/move-in-days-day-3-4.html
Documenting Existence at Point B. Friday, September 17, 2010. Move in Days (Day 3-4). Yesterday (Thursday) I checked out the various places our students will be attending classes: the Barbican Center and Guildhall for our music and drama students and City University London for everyone else. Also, got moved into our flats. They’re nice, but I don’t have a desk. I do get a room to myself, which is good, but it still has the two beds (they're all at least doubles).

beta cite: September 2009

Documenting Existence at Point B. Sunday, September 20, 2009. It lives again. Again. So, it's been awhile. I'm fine, how are you? A lot has happened. I'm safely ensconced in Denver (Colorado, not Denver, North Carolina. This is a fairly critical distinction) and in my studies. I've managed to kill an entire week of graduate school without it killing me back. Of course, it's hard to know if you're back in the swing of the quarter system until it takes a swing at you.

beta cite: Day 2
http://betacite.blogspot.com/2010/09/day-2.html
Documenting Existence at Point B. Friday, September 17, 2010. Having returned from the pub). After I managed to roll out of bed at 11 am on Wednesday (a good sleep, if I do say so myself), Ann took me on a walking trip down in the heart of London. Okay, beginner’s description. It may not have been the “heart” of London, but I saw some of the famous stuff. We took the tube down to Leicster Square and checked out some of the theatres and half-priced ticket booths. Cauliflower soup was quite good, though.

free days and matinees: 12.06
http://freedaysandmatinees.blogspot.com/2006_12_01_archive.html
Free days and matinees. Originally uploaded by missmaria. When the price isn't right for adding stamps to the ol' passport, I get my Euro-fix with a $1.75 bus ride to Europa Books. A foreign language bookstore on State Street. Something about being surrounded by words I don't understand makes me happy. There's even a charmingly snooty French dude at the register. An "entertaining way of learning the basics.". Also grabbed the latest Paris Match. When Art Meets Science. Current special exhibition, Massive.

free days and matinees: On Hiatus
http://freedaysandmatinees.blogspot.com/2007/06/on-hiatus.html
Free days and matinees. This failed experiment is going on official hiatus, because as of tomorrow, I am no longer unemployed. Seven months TO THE DAY after leaving my last job, I start a new one as an intern for the Chicago Public Library, running the Summer Reading Program in the parks. Just for the summer, so I'll have another month of joblessness before I start school. Traveled to Antarctica, Chile, Argentina, the Falkland Islands, Turkey, Costa Rica, Montreal, New York, and Los Angeles.

free days and matinees: Sugar Sugar
http://freedaysandmatinees.blogspot.com/2007/02/sugar-sugar.html
Free days and matinees. I've had my fair share of fancy desserts — from shortcakes and tortes to Gale Gand's sweets extravaganza at Tru. Chocochip cookies come in "mini" size, but are larger than Chips Ahoy. Crunchy, crumbly, and with small chips, the cookie has the consistency of shortbread. Little too stiff for me, so dunking is a must. They do taste good, but I'll stick to my poppyseed strudel next time. $0.32. Surely a bakery that's mastered every flavor of bread could handle a measly cookie, right?
