In which this is really weird. He’s gone for two weeks, and I have the place to myself. Off managing the integration of a satellite office for work. I can do whatever I want! Including nothing! I don’t even have to make dinner if I don’t want to! I can do absolutely NOTHING AT ALL […]
In which the weather’s weird. It’s 3:01 pm on April 11th. It’s overcast. It’s… hailing? There are several inches of snow on the ground. Earlier today, there was thunder. What the fuck. Here’s my lunch: That’s leftover cucumber raita, basmati rice, and chana masala from last night’s dinner, with some dal I just made. (I […]
In which there’s a chant. aum, aum my salutations to that guru who revealed to me that truth which is unfragmented, infinite, timeless divinity and which pervades the entire universe, moveable or immovable my salutations to that reverential teacher who, by applying the divine collyrium of self-knowledge into my eyes removed the cataract of ignorance […]
In which I served soup and salad for dinner this evening! The soup is this one, more or less. (I added a carrot and red pepper flakes, used bouillon and water rather than broth, used tomato paste rather than sauce, and winged all the amounts, BUT OTHERWISE, it’s basically that recipe! Yum!) Salads were of […]
In which I had an epiphany about interconnectedness while drinking a dark mocha latte breve. Was just over at the coffee shop with a pile of stuff in front of me. This pile of stuff: That’s a fountain pen, traveler’s notebook, my prescription glasses, a mason jar lid and ring, an instant camera and nylon/pseudo-leather […]
In which LEFTOVERS. So I decided to go out for coffee or something. Got dressed, organized my backpack with all my stationery crap and devices, put on shoes… and then couldn’t decide where to go. Realized I was hungry. Sat down at my computer and looked at food delivery and recipes. Finally got so hungry […]
(NOTE: I found this post in my drafts folder, it’s actually a couple of years old; apparently never published it. In it, I say I don’t care what she thinks, but then I wrote all these words, so I guess I did! Sometimes I’m full of shit, yo.) In which my ex’s girlfriend posted a […]
In which Minneapolis twitter is enthusing about “Spring,” but, having lived somewhere better, I can state unequivocally that what passes for spring here is a weak-ass attempt at what can be a glorious season. “Spring” here is brown and ugly. You can only tell it’s spring because of the slightly sweeter air, and the sudden […]
In which it’s warmed up to 48F and most of the snow is gone. I was eating tacos at 8 o’clock this morning. Scott kept waking me up (I can no longer sleep through anything and everything, a side effect of living five decades, I understand), and I stayed mostly awake after he left for […]
