A week ago, we got to Princeton. It's more bucolic than even Ivrea was (in a different way: no mountains and fewer corn fields but lots of trees and woods) — as an avowed city person, I never expected to be living in a town of 14,000. Then again, I hadn't expected to start a… Continue reading Amidst boxes, woods, rabbits, squirrels, and crickets

Heather reads to the pets
The Bear Twins Get Dressed Originally uploaded by h. donohue. I have lots of pets. Don't laugh. They are a source of great joy and comfort. But with our travels, some of the pets had to go into a box — there were too many to bring and we needed them to protect our goods… Continue reading Heather reads to the pets
terra americana!
About 12 hours ago, Enrique and I landed at Newark, thus drawing to a close the European (and for me, Asian) part of our summer. Magically, the travel went really well… On August 1, we headed to Berlin to spend a few days there with my German sister Birke and my dear friend Vicky. The… Continue reading terra americana!
My Minneapolis contingent seems to be okay…
We woke up this morning to the news of the bridge collapse in Minneapolis. Part of 35W that I drive over every day in the Twin Cities collapsed into the Mississippi during rush hour. (Everyone else is probably more up on the news than I am… I can't figure out how to get CNN on… Continue reading My Minneapolis contingent seems to be okay…
Summer holiday
It's done, it's in the bag. Today, my project at ReD completed. Christian and Jun are somewhere over the Atlantic. In two days, Enrique is interviewing Bjarke Ingalls from BIG for Archinect. And then: we go to Berlin and Düsseldorf on planes and trains. We'll be there for friends, architecture, museums, Birke's going-away party (who… Continue reading Summer holiday
Hüsker Dü on the Today Show
Husker Du Oh Melissa, please tell me you're reading. It hit me tonight that somewhere on the Internets, there must be a video record of the first time I really cut school, 20 years ago (?!) when Hüsker Dü played on the Today Show. Melissa and I drove to downtown Minneapolis to see this. The… Continue reading Hüsker Dü on the Today Show
Pissed off at MT 4 beta 6 (and 3, 4 and 5)
Damn damn dammit. I've now wasted three nights trying to get some permutation of beta MT 4.0 to happen on my server so that I can get Girlwonder.com up again and launch a new blog. I know beta software has its pitfalls but this is just pissing me off. Guys, this is a dealkiller. Can't… Continue reading Pissed off at MT 4 beta 6 (and 3, 4 and 5)

Denmark, Red, scams, the future
Been a while. A few notes… I'm pretty sure we're being scammed by our movers. They showed up and wanted $500 more than they originally quoted, and that was just for packing and loading, not delivery or storage. Doing some web searches on them, they're connected to one of the biggest mover rackets. I think… Continue reading Denmark, Red, scams, the future
Movers and Denmark
I've been silent here because either I've been working madly in Denmark and Shanghai and now, I'm in New Haven and the movers come in an hour or so. Ugh. I hate moving. Read and post comments | Send to a friend
