Ok - so maybe I post slightly more than annually?!

I logged on to see my friend's journal of his little man, Ian, and lo and behold - my friends here are posting!!!    It's so cool to see the the fam is all in Florida!   I miss you all and wish we could be there too!

Jack was just saying we should do a BBQ with Dale, Nana, Emer and Darick - but guess we'll need to wait till everyone is back home!

Just got back from Seoul - it was pretty amazing.   The city is HUGE - 2nd only to NYC.   Great buses and subways - getting around is really easy.   It was still winter there, but warming up.   Had amazing korean bbq while I was there, but mostly worked.    They love ice cream!  If it wasn't so cold I would have had to try it.  I didn't have a chance to do any shopping, but now I know where I want to go and how the korean money conversion work!

Ok - so that's really all.   I posted on gamermom.com last night and hope to try and post there more often.  Silona got me to log in to twitter, and I've become a big fan of last.fm.   So maybe I'll post here more often too :)

Miss you all....

One year later - and I've finished my Masters - yeehaw!

I'm really tired and kinda brain-fried, but very happy.  The family has simply been incredible this past year - they've earned this Master's every bit as much as me.

Next week is catching up, capping off and commercialization planning for India.  Soon - caps and gowns and then focusing on coaching and a summer of books that are not on a syllabus.

Hogwarts, here I come!

Wifi troubles in India kept me from posting this:

Today is Day 2 in Delhi, India...it's incredible.

I don't have alot of time right now - about to head out for the Meena Bazzar where I hope to buy a few salwaar khazmeez suites to where while I'm working here. When I get back tonite I'll update you on my travels!

The power keeps flickering on and off - but my laptop battery and wifi don't seem to notice. It's hot - about 105, but thankfully it's windy today.

I have photos up on Flickr - http://www.flickr.com/photos/donna_k_kidwell

Namaste!

Decide to run a marathon.
Set a goal, an aspiring goal, not an easy goal, but an achievable goal.
And reward yourself by setting the goal in London.

This girl is beyond clever.

I suffer from allowing hypermedia to reflect my lack of focus. It's just so darned hard to keep things in there little boxes. So in an attempt to be more deliberate about things (my own interpretation of Kate's "I put this moment Here") I am pondering the following:

~ kalitechna.com -> intellectual pursuits and development, career expressions, and a subsection for the family

~ livejournal.com/kalitechna -> physical pursuits, strength training and running logs

I'm thinking about putting up a blog for the kids too...not for me to talk about them, but for them to do the talking. There's a certain charm to giving them a soapbox...

Elegant - You pride yourself on charm and are
always emphasising your femine attributes. You
like ice skating, ballet, gymnastics... any
activity seen as female. You have a good head
on your shoulders, but you are too easily
distracted by 'pretty' things.


What Faerie Personality Are You?

I have long loved Wolverine. Wolverine is the only super-hero I knew anything about, until I was introduced to The Watchmen, and Grendel. Ah, to look like Christine Spar.

Oh, yes, X-Men.

Logan would smoke a cigar. Without a doubt...he's self healing. And, well, it just suits him. You know, he may even be a registered Republican.

Dies Irae

The decision to place Nightcrawler's opening scene to the single most powerful musical exploration of God's wrath was brilliant. A translation:

You are The Cheshire Cat


A huge grin constantly plastered upon your face,
you never cease to amuse. You are completely
confusing and contradictory to most everyone.

I've recently turned my own website into a blog - desperately seeking a cms solution that even the good blog tools can't address.

But, what to do here? Some sort of marriage is surly possible, and, well, I haven't paid enough attention to this particular fertile ground to have anything sprout.

Anyhoo -> www.kalitechna.com

Check out my beloved Lornadoone, my thoughts on interactive narrative, and maybe, just maybe, a live feed of me.

(Why on earth doesn't livejournal recognize the word blog??? geezlouise)
