The Raleigh World: Month Eight

Sorry it’s a little late, fam. Had a bit of a situation over here. An unwelcome visitor, so to speak. I’m just glad it didn’t completely trash my place. As I was starting to think of what to write about my eighth month in Raleigh, a swirl of clouds appeared off the coast of Africa. Over the next 10 days,...

My Online Whereabouts Update

Last week I celebrated the return of my photoblog and just realized it’s as good a time as any to point y’all to other places where you can find my content online. I set up a portfolio page on Contently. It keeps my work in a neat, tidy place. Here’s the list of places to find my content: Aggregated articles/posts:...

Return Of The Photo Blog

I really missed my photo blog. Earlier this year I discovered that my host didn’t have my blog on a secure server, so I had to go through a big snarl to get my stuff transferred to a secure server. Unfortunately, and what wasn’t made clear when I initiated this change, I was no longer allowed to have separate WP...

The Raleigh World: Month Seven

My, how time flies! It seems like I just wrote the six-month po…oh yeah. I was a bit late on that one, wasn’t I? Well, here’s to not letting another update languish in my Drafts folder for three weeks! So I did some stuff in my seventh month in North Carolina. I’m still working hard as a freelancer. That’s the...

The Raleigh World: Six Months, Give Or Take

It’s not that I had forgotten about my monthly update. Things are launching in some areas and others seem stuck on the launch pad and I’ve been working and nudging as seems appropriate. It sort of seems impossible that it’s already been six months since Dos Gatos Locos and I spent our first nights here in Raleigh. I was excited,...

The Raleigh World: The Beginning

The most Frequently Asked Question I get since I moved here is, “Why Raleigh?” The answer has many facets internally but is really rather simple. I knew I needed to get out of the Bay Area and I knew that I was entering a point in my life where I needed to really push the boundaries of my comfort zone....

I Know It’s Not Caturday, But…

I’m really trying to avoid turning this into a Cat Blog, but dangit, these boys of mine are so gorgeous! Also, it’s Adopt A Shelter Cat Month, so if you were thinking of adding some FLOOF to your life (highly recommended), check out your local shelters and rescue groups!

The Raleigh World: Month Five

Let’s just jump right into the #WeatherReportByVicster, shall we? So in Month Five I learned that the temperature and the dew point like to be twinsies and no matter what I pull out of my closet I’m basically going to be wearing the air for the foreseeable future. Also bugs. Big, nasty bugs. A couple of weeks ago I was...
