Yes, I'm Still Here

Believe it or not, I'm actually posting in my diary again. Not just that, but redesigning the whole thing in Movable Type. Yes, I have succumbed to the shame of friends writing to ask me what the heck happened to me and why I haven't posted here in six months. Actually I've been meaning to do this for a long long time & just needed a kick in the pants. I'm still in the middle of setting up the templates. I'm using their style sheets to a large degree, although the text looks awfully small on my screen. If anyone happens to see this, please let me know how it looks to you.

It's hard to know where to start recapping the past 6 months of my life, much easier to write day-to-day than try to cover such a long period of time. So maybe I'll just pretend I never stopped posting, and write about today. That will be easier.

OK, this morning was the first nice day after a week of cold, dark and rainy. I went to the flea market with my friend Patricia, we had fun walking around for a few hours. To my surprise, I actually found the only thing I needed: a special screwdriver to open my Mac so I could install Airport.

(I should mention that my computer got zapped in a big ice storm last December, and hasn't worked right ever since, but it's my primary work computer now ((here is a good place to say that I went freelance last fall, which is a nice way to say I got laid off.)) so I really need it to be in tip top shape. Luckily we got our twice-yearly royalty statement last week, and to my shock and amazement it was enough to replace my computer. I got a 15" Powerbook, it arrived yesterday and I am in love.)

So anyway, we walked around the flea market for a couple of hours. I got my screwdrivers and also a necklace that I think I can turn into a groovy belt. And I also got a hellacious sunburn on my neck and shoulders. Duh! I wasn't thinking about sunscreen at all. I was supposed to meet a friend at a local club that's doing a Bollywood/Asian Underground night, but I think I'm going to have to miss it. It's too bad, because I love that stuff.

Well that's about all I can think of to say right now. I've been playing around with my camera lately. Here's a photo I took with the remote release my parents got me for my birthday.

Good grief, Tilli, how did you know so quickly that I had posted again? Did you have some kind of notification set up to tell you when my page was changed? However it happened, it's great to hear from you! I thought it would be another 6 months before anyone realized I was back online.

love, Sarah

You're back! And what have you done with your hair? It's a human color! That's just not right.

The typesize looks fine on my Windows PC. Macintoshes almost always display fonts smaller than PCs for complex reasons having to do with deep philosophical issues which make my head feel like it's full of bees.
