Trying

New blog post over at my new home: http://diaryofamyrigby.wordpress.com/2012/02/17/efptoz/Apparently there is no adding Google Friend Connect from Blogger to Wordpress.com sites (only the self-hosted . org ones) - sorry about that, if anyone cares! I still haven't settled all the way in over there but I'm trying.

Hi there, I finally managed to get a new post on my new blog location. I still haven't figured out how to move the Yahoo followers from here to WordPress - but meanwhile hope you'll follow me over there. thanks, Amy

Some Other Place Already

I moved my blog from Blogger to WordPress two days ago. It's been a little complicated and there's still a few things I need to figure out (like how to redirect followers from this blog over to the new one) but it seemed like everything was going okay. Then around midnight - I don't know what I did wrong, but all these black bars started appearing over everything. Then Wikipedia stopped working. "Oh my God, what have I done wrong'" I wondered. "I've broken the Internet."But today everything was...

In The Club
From Diary of Amy Rigby, 1 year ago, Read 1 times. Similar articles
I went out for the first time in a week yesterday - the neighbors were having their annual get-together. Angeline from next door had been over to check on my progress and insisted we come. She said everyone would understand. A little old lady demanded an explanation for my bandaged and battered appearance after I'd done the obligatory kissing, very gingerly, uncertain that we'd ever met before. "Chacun son mis?re," she said."To each his own misery." I'd finally made it.France is full of little...

Help

I didn't mean to open this design can of worms! Went over to WordPress, started working on a blog there, then realized I'd have to have the concentration to learn a new dashboard etc. Which I sadly don't right now. Then started looking at the (limited) blogger templates and next thing I knew I'd lost my old one. So...under construction. But here's a photo from yesterday in Catskill.

When The Tree Comes Down
From Diary of Amy Rigby, 1 year ago, Read 0 times. Similar articles
I searched our old address in France on Google and looked at the satellite image - it was like a trip back in time to just over a year ago when we came back from touring determined to fix the place up and sell it so we could move to the US. In the photo the shutters are off and yet to be painted, the front door is the dark green we decided against eventually, the massive barn door is scraped and only partially undercoated.The satellite photo is dated December 2010. A year later, we're living on...

Not Fade Away
From Diary of Amy Rigby, 1 year ago, Read 0 times. Similar articles
It had all gone so well. A couple weeks of shows, traversing England, up to Scotland and back down again with no major mishaps. Even a quick trip to Sweden where Eric gave a talk about punk at the university of Malmo and I played my first-ever show in Scandinavia. No illness, no bloodshed. Nothing broken or stolen (except the Harmony guitar, on the flight over, and that had been brought back to life, better than ever without even a visible scar). The tour felt like a success: we'd played well,...

"You Have Reached Your Destination"
From Diary of Amy Rigby, 1 year ago, Read 0 times. Similar articles
I was standing in line in a tiny guitar shop in Islington when I realized my bag was talking."You have reached your destination" said Tim, our GPS man with the crisp Continental diction. I'd forgotten tucking Tim into my bag for guidance as I'd set off on foot to find a music store. Eric is convinced Tim's a camp out of work thespian picking up pocket money on the side. Not totally British, his accent hints at all sorts of seedy possibilities. We have such a close relationship with him, I felt...

Roy Rogers Is Riding Tonight
From Diary of Amy Rigby, 1 year ago, Read 0 times. Similar articles
Being in England feels familiar yet always exotic enough to keep me interested and intrigued. "Fit for viewing by persons GENERALLY" reads the symbol on a DVD in my goddaughter Daisy's collection of films and having watched the movie in question (some godawful Disney tripe called "Spooky Buddies" - guess I've been away from the world of kids' movies for awhile because I thought Disney was a mark of some kind of quality') I'm even more confused by what they mean. Persons generally, as in not...

The Things They Left Behind
From Diary of Amy Rigby, 1 year ago, Read 0 times. Similar articles
Today was a beautiful, warm day - perfect for fixing the gutters.Sometimes I get overwhelmed by the amount of stuff that needs to be done to this house. It's easy to forget that it was only a year ago we were here in the northeast US looking around at possible places to move to. We went back to France with a huge list of jobs that needed to be done to sell that house. And a vague idea of something called an "immigrant visa."Now we're completely relocated and feel at home in many ways. Starting...
