In September of 2008 three San Franciscans disappeared (for the night) into Preston Castle near Ione, California, while hunting for ghosts…A few months later Diana finally handed over her journal so Lela could post it on myspace… [Because this journal changed hands throughout the night, names of the writers will be posted above the section… Continue reading The Preston Castle project

Long, long ago (1994) in a land far, far away (about 30 miles), Lela was enjoying her last day as a sixth grader at Sequoia Middle School. The choir teacher was retiring that year and Lela, being the goody-goody that she was, spent part of her day helping Mrs. Masters pack boxes and sort through… Continue reading My Amelie moment

  The other night I was talking to Ben about how much I had wanted to post an angry rant about Prop 8. But that as I thought about it I realized angry rants are hardly the sort of thing that change opinions, and that most likely anyone who read my post who was planning on… Continue reading Not a rant

I spent all day Wednesday hanging out in the house, waiting for my work laptop to be delivered by the mailman. After waiting patiently all day for my doorbell to ring, I decided I must have misjudged when my package would arrive. Then Ben came through the door and handed me a “Sorry we missed… Continue reading Lela, the Lela impersonator

I realize that traditionally an event sponsored by a beer company is more the territory of fraternities than it is a place responsible parents take their children. Yet as Ben and I walked around Tour de Fat last Saturday, I had to admit that experiences like this make me seriously consider raising kids in San… Continue reading Tour de Fat

It’s a pretty common belief that men wearing wedding rings are extremely attractive to single women. If a guy has a ring it means he can make a commitment, and some women like this so much that they will flirt shamelessly with him (which seems ludicrously illogical to me). But illogical as it is, part… Continue reading Notice the ring?

It’s late and I should be sleeping because if I don’t, I’ll sleep through half the day tomorrow, which I hate to do. But still I’m here writing this because I know that if I wait until tomorrow, I probably won’t write it at all. Already I can think of a million reasons not to,… Continue reading I’ll only fail if I fail to try

At the post office today, while checking out, I noticed I had been charged an additional two cents on a letter already stamped with one of the last of the batch Ben and I bought a few weeks ago. “oh, when did the price of stamps rise again?” “May 12” “…umm, you mean of last… Continue reading My two cents

Recent events have thrown into stark realization the fact that I don’t have as many friends as I used to, nor as many as I would like. Frankly, it’s depressing me. So now I have to wonder, why do I judge my value based on the number of friends I have? I blame the Wizard… Continue reading Friends

As of today I’m under strict doctor’s orders to not do any strenuous exercises until I see a cardiologist. I’m thinking I’ll call to make an appointment in about 2 or 3 months, what do you think? It reminds me of when my mom was on this crazy diet for her allergy testing. For two… Continue reading Doctor’s orders!
