The Mayans Lied, So I Guess I’ve Got to Do Stuff

Happy New Year’s Eve! I am going to be spending my day clearing the decks to prepare for 2013, because nothing motivates me to clean more than a looming arbitrary deadline. I’m still not quite clear why I do this. I never seem to get everything done that I want to. I don’t think of…

How Yarnologist Got Her Groove Back

Yesterday my mother finally got sick of seeing me moping around the house and randomly bursting into tears and took me to the Apple store to see if we could get me a new computer. I had an estimated cost in mind based on poking around the Apple site and guesstimating what I would need…
