Update on Updates

My Mom let me know there was nothing on my blog - I actually thought I'd posted two things by now! One was an ipad error, the other just a mix up on my part.

I'm planning (at least) two posts a week - Monday I'll post weekly pictures, and Wednesday I'll do something more narrative - this week's is on my moving experience with the service we used, and the next four weeks after that will be a series on installing my own kitchen!

The posts I meant to put up on Monday and Wednesday will be up shortly....

Am I back?

This has been a good time to take a break. I had about a week of the worst jet lag in a long time, and my phone has been constantly complaining that I don't have any space to take more pictures. I have seen a few stunning sunsets, but there would have been more pictures of things like our new fan and the neat file box I got to put all my important papers in.

What will I be posting from now on? I think there will be three main categories:

I will be posting at least a picture a week. Not exactly sure how many I'll be posting, but having the goal of putting up a picture does cause me to look at the world around me for the beautiful, absurd, and otherwise notable. It also helps me stay in touch with everyone!

I'll post a few summaries of the past year. I've long been meaning to do a kitchen retrospective, but I also want to gather some of my best (and maybe worst) posts all in one place. I might add to this a bit of advice for traveling to Berlin or moving.

I also plan to post more writing. I'm not sure what form this will take - essays, reviews, opinions, advice, complaints, or ramblings, but stay tuned!

One Year Gone!

I didn't actually get a chance to mark my one year in Berlin. It was either June 26 (departed the US) or June 27 (arrived in Berlin) and those were much busier than average. Given how much I've traveled over the course of the last year, it is typical that I spent neither of those days in Berlin and instead was very busy traveling to and working at the Sloan Digital Sky Survey collaboration meeting.

I'm going to take a short hiatus from blogging - probably a week or two - and then I will most likely start up again. I doubt I'm going to do anything every day, but I appreciate having a creative outlet and something that helps me stay in touch!

In other words, stay tuned!

An Introduction of Sorts

The impetus for starting this blog is our upcoming move to Berlin - both my husband and I have jobs in the area that start within months. As soon as we move, I plan to start one of those 365 photo projects documenting all of the adventures we'll have. I'm not at all a photographer, but really want to be able to share my this super exciting time in our lives with my family and friends (and the internet in general, I suppose).

As I picked a blog title, however, I realized that I don't want to restrict myself to a travel or moving blog. At various times in the past, I've had half-formed notions of starting a blog about so many different things: reviewing books, movies, or video games, talking about astronomy, discussing feminism in science+tech, complaining about the car-centric-ness of Columbus, OH, learning about racism, sharing recipes, photos of daily outfits... yes, pretty much everything.

So except posts about life, adventures, and the stars.
