Israel Day 4: Shabbat Shalom!

nobody@vox.com(Nicole) — Sun, 07 Sep 2008 11:39:48 -0700

Shabbat in Jerusalem is like nothing I've ever seen before. Four lane highways are completely deserted. The silence on the streets and absence of people seems like something out of a movie. We started the day late (by "late" I mean that we started...

The Big Move and More

nobody@vox.com(Nicole) — Tue, 02 Sep 2008 20:13:05 -0700

So I am officially in my new (and improved!) apartment. The move itself wasn't nearly as painful as I thought it would be, though writing all the checks associated with said move did hurt the pocketbook and, duh, the increased rent isn't the most ...

Postponed

When I started recapping my trip, I had the idea of posting a day per week. And yet, that has not happened. You see, some combination of Comcast internet freaking out and my computer being really old has prohibited me from being online for the las...

Israel Day 3: That's a lot of Holy

nobody@vox.com(Nicole) — Sat, 12 Jul 2008 10:03:53 -0700

So before the third day of the trip officially began, we had a run in with some of our Birthright compadres in the hotel. We went to bed the night before around 11 (I think) and promptly passed out... only to be woken up by drunken, pot smoking, y...

Finally: Israel Day 1 and 2

nobody@vox.com(Nicole) — Thu, 03 Jul 2008 21:44:48 -0700

Okay, I've been back in Portland for a full month and have been dreading blogging about my trip to Israel. Not because it wasn't fun, but because 1.) it's going to take a lot of time 2.) I'm really bad about finishing these kinds of projects and 3...

Distraction

nobody@vox.com(Nicole) — Tue, 15 Apr 2008 19:31:42 -0700

So my sister has a blog. Not the sister who lives here and works in the same building as me and makes me take her to the cafeteria where she is amazed by the fashion faux pas, but the other sister. The one who produced The Lucinator, the cutest ch...

Growing Up

nobody@vox.com(Nicole) — Wed, 09 Apr 2008 21:51:24 -0700

And another birthday has passed. That's right, last Tuesday I turned 26. Before we discuss the passing of time, etc. etc., can we first say how much a weekday birthday totally blows goats? Because it does. I had to go to work and talk to people an...

Right now

nobody@vox.com(Nicole) — Mon, 10 Mar 2008 20:42:29 -0700

I am sitting on the couch and everything hurts because, oh, the running. Kramer is asleep in the corner and making tiny dog snoring sounds, which are almost cute enough to make me forget that he puked in the middle of my living room while I was at...

In Brief

nobody@vox.com(Nicole) — Sun, 09 Mar 2008 21:06:53 -0700

Why I won't give money to the DCCC

nobody@vox.com(Nicole) — Sat, 23 Feb 2008 12:28:58 -0800

So I just got off the phone with a phone-banker from the DCCC. The DCCC, for those of you who don't know, is the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee. The phone call started out as any other. He went into this long spiel about saving Congr...
