I'm a busy bee over

I'm a busy bee over here. Turns out being out of the office for the transit strike AND vacation makes for a lot of work to catch up on. I did think of a resolution: I want to design a new website for this here little blog. I have no idea how to go about doing things like this, but I think I'm smart enough to figure it out. Though if any of you more computer-savvy folks out there have any suggestions, I'll gladly take them.

Remember Halloween? Remember decapitated cookie pictures I promised but never delivered? Here they are! Krista finally uploaded them, and after picking myself off the floor from where I'd fallen in surprise, I quickly jammed them into a Flickr set. Here is another fun Flickr set, Mike's visual food diary he's just started. I love it! UPDATED TO ADD: This is actually part of a bigger project where Mike is trying to lose 30 pounds faster than his friend Les can gain 30 pounds. Les's food diary is here. You can read the details of the competition on Mike's blog.

Also I am too lazy to change the book I am reading. I finished Zadie Smith some time ago and have read The Secret History and Garlic and Sapphires since then. I liked both of those better the On Beauty, which I had to work very hard at enjoying. In the end, too hard. I suspected it when I couldn't finish White Teeth, and think I've confirmed it here: I am not a Zadie Smith fan.
