Big Enough Umbrella

Paris this time

So I'm out of the country which I think means I'm required to post more to my blog. As I mentioned yesterday, (or was it earlier today?), I've left the country yet again. I'm kinda making a habit of this now. I'm back in Europe, this time hanging out in ...

Wow, just wow...

So I was going to drop a quick line tonight on how I'm headed off to Europe again tomorrow (later today?) to see Rumy and how excited I was. I also was going to voice my utter shock and bitterness that it cost me $40 this week - on the nose, no less! - to fill up ...

In passing...

mjmarble — Fri, 29 Feb 2008 23:38:27 +0000

I'm still battling an exceptionally busy life. Plenty of details to post, but I'll save that for a study break later tonight or tomorrow. There's an end to all this stress and work, right?

Let me introduce you to...

I haven’t posted much lately as some may have noticed. I’m down to about once a month or so now. Some of that has to do with the busyness of my life right now. Some has to do with deciding how much of myself to put out here into the ...

Still lacking time...

mjmarble — Thu, 27 Dec 2007 19:59:43 +0000

The more I try to find time, the less I have. I guess that goes with making myself as busy as possible. Rumy comes in today, and I am more than a bit excited. She's set to land in just over an hour and I still am cleaning the apartment. And I ...

Long time no blog...

mjmarble — Thu, 01 Nov 2007 04:57:11 +0000

So... um... yeah. It's been a while since I've posted. But in my defense between school, working 40 hrs a good portion of the time (temping), looking for a full time regular job, sorting through US Visa issues and generally entertaining myself here in DC - I ...

Rant: Voices of DC

mjmarble — Sun, 02 Sep 2007 09:44:50 +0000

I recently moved to Washington, DC (the DC is there for those random people out there from British Columbia or Namibia - "Jackass!" - who are confused) to

Busy days

mjmarble — Tue, 14 Aug 2007 05:41:38 +0000

These past few weeks have been more than a bit hectic. While I know I'm getting a lot done, I also know there's a few key things which remain unfinished. For those of you who know me can attest, this leads me to much worry, consternation and a bit of ...

People I know... (Part 3)

mjmarble — Fri, 03 Aug 2007 04:40:20 +0000

I finally have a moment to finish up this extended posting on people I know from my time in Bulgaria. It’s interesting for me to look back on all of these people as one group since most of them played distinct roles at widely different moments of my ...

Just to catch up...

mjmarble — Sun, 29 Jul 2007 04:00:12 +0000

It's been a busy 12 days since I returned home. In that time I've been to DC twice, met many future classmates, found an apartment in Arlington (very excited about the deal I got), spent time with my family, including my two nieces, did a lot of busy paperwork type ...
