Week by week

By kate on July 17th, 2005

When we first started trying to get pregnant, I went to Third Place Books to buy a pregnancy book. They had a pretty scant selection, but I wanted a book, so I chose the best of the lot: an old edition of Your Pregnancy Week-By-Week. The cover was so repellent (and the “trying” so secret) […]

It’s official: Blogging is OVER

By kate on July 6th, 2005

I came to this conclusion on Sunday, when I saw not one, but two references to blogs in distinctively NON-cutting-edge places:
 

 
The Lockhorns contains a reference/word play about Leroy reading blogs.
 
Parade Magazine, that Readers Digest of the Sunday paper, has a column on how to make your own blog:
“Have you thought about creating a personal […]

What to Expect

By kate on July 6th, 2005

Steve and I looked through all the pregnancy books at Big & Chain bookstore this weekend, looking for one that might somewhat share our attitude. (We are trying to eschew all the fear-based advice and long lists of things to avoid.)
One book that I dismissed out-of-hand was What to Expect When You’re Expecting, based only […]

SIFF!

By kate on May 8th, 2005

It’s SIFF season! I had such a good time last year that I’m very excited it’s that time again. Schedules came out on Thursday, and that day I sat down with pens and highlighters to try to choose what films to see.
 
The process is very instinctive (and random). I’m basing my choices solely on the […]

… In exactly the way that bricks don’t

By kate on April 8th, 2005

First, the movie I’ve been waiting for is finally coming out: The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy. I’m a little nervous, though, as to whether it’ll be a good take or not.
Also, the burlesque show (Sat 11pm) and tonight’s 10pm show at the Moisture Festival are sold out. Other shows are also selling out, or […]

This ‘n that

By kate on March 8th, 2005

Damn LiveJournal for eating the longer version of this post! Now, I only feel like posting the basics:
1. After staying home sick all week and watching lots of TV, I found that Degrassi: The Next Generation is as enjoyable as its predecessor (Degrassi Junior High).
2. The Aerialistas will be performing 4 or 5 times at […]

Busy

By kate on January 28th, 2005

If you haven’t heard from me recently, it’s because my new job is keeping me super busy. It’s a really great job and I like it, so no worries. I apologize if you’ve been waiting for me to get back to you about something. Feel free to ping me again (I won’t take offense).
Also, just […]

Famous

By kate on November 17th, 2004

Yesterday, the UW Daily [link no longer available] had an article about my aerial troupe, including quotes from and a picture of me!

It’s recommended!

By kate on October 28th, 2004

I just found out that the Circus Contraption Halloween party, in which I’m performing, is in this week’s Stranger Suggests!

Presidential debate

By kate on October 1st, 2004

I watched the debate last night with some friends, and we all felt that Kerry had a definite edge. He managed to state his position consistently, while phrasing it in different ways. Bush merely repeated stock phrases. Kerry addressed every question, and I counted two that Bush completely ducked. I was glad Kerry got a […]

Hello from Moron

By kate on August 15th, 2004

Yes, we’re currently in a town called Moron… but don’t laugh, it means “river” and is pronounced “Murun”.
Unfortunately, Steve got a nasty bug and got sick in the middle of last night. He hardly got any sleep and threw up several times. Instead of a long day of driving, we drove 2.5 hours to Moron […]

Wanted: Good, Long Books

By kate on July 19th, 2004

Steve and I are heading to Mongolia in about two weeks, so we’re working on what to bring. One thing I’ve been trying to figure out is what books to pack.
Reading is a very integral part of travelling for me. It’s how I pass my time while on buses, planes, trains, etc. (as well as […]

SIFF Journal #4

By kate on July 3rd, 2004

Yeah, I know this is a bit belated, but I wanted to put up my last couple of reviews…
Garden State
An indie movie with Natalie Portman can pretty much guarantee that I’ll go to see it. And I thought this movie was entertaining, but solidly mediocre. Portman and Zach Braff, who plays her love interest, act […]

SIFF Journal #3

By kate on June 7th, 2004

Noise
This black comedy stars Ally Sheedy and supermodel Trish Goff (in her first acting role). Joyce (Goff) is a young divorcee who moves into an apartment below Charlotte (Sheedy), who plays loud music at night, makes lots of noise, and drives Joyce nuts.
I thought it was okay, but found Goff really distracting. I’m not […]

SIFF Journal #2

By kate on June 1st, 2004

B-Happy
I really felt misled by the blurb for this film. It covers the last half hour or so of the movie… so I kept waiting for something to happen rather than watching what WAS happening. Bad PR aside, the movie was OK but not great. It reminded me of how I felt about Girl With […]
