In which I think “artisanal” is a wholly silly word. Once upon a time, everybody made their own breads and cheeses (or at least personally knew the person who made the breads and cheeses they ate), and I imagine these products were earthy and rustic and “artisanal” and at least edible if not actually delicious. […]
In which if you want more ammunition to use against me in our upcoming argument about what a dork I am, here it is! Winter It’s 14°F. I am seriously NOT DIGGING IT. Bindu isn’t digging it, either: she was right up on my right heel most of the way around the block this morning, […]
In which ABSOLUTELY NOTHING HAPPENS. Okay, so, like, last night at work it was all exciting because there was an HVAC crisis in a server room in Spokane. I had to talk with three engineers over IM and dispatch an HVAC guy and everything. Whee! Then I went home. I did not have dinner. I […]
In which I have a fairly rotten cold. And a lot of fun, too, but the fun sure ain’t helping my cold any. Thursday, I was pretty much wrecked at work because I’d decided to party the night before, but it turns out that I’m actually even better at phone-based IT work when I’m exhausted: […]
In which I totally raged old school style on a school night, yo. I’ve been fighting a cold. I am quite congested. I should be hydrating and resting, of course. It’s annoying. Last night after work it seemed like a good idea to go down to the bar on the corner to have a drink […]
In which I decide that in a perfect world I’d be a professional student. And then I complain. Following are the things I have considered studying – in the past two weeks alone – if only I had the required time and/or money: Astronomy. There’s a cool online course I want to take; it costs […]
In which it was too much to hope I could go two entire winters without catching something. When my alarm went off at nine this morning, I didn’t notice that I felt bad or anything, but I did pass right the fuck back out until 11:30. Hard. Like, lights-out. I got up and had breakfast […]
In which I share a little something I’ve been thinking about. I try to shield myself from too much media (because American media is, as you know, ON FUCKING CRACK) but one can’t be alive and totally ignorant of the issues. One does, after all, read the New York Times and listen to NPR on […]
In which my fucking browser ate my post so I had to write the whole thing all over again! Gah! So NOW this post is totally an exercise in Weird Tense. It’s a good thing I majored in Literature, y’all, or we’d never make it through this. Yeah, so I’d started out today’s missive with […]
In which I realize it’s more than merely a biological function, but since I’ve been left out of the whole thing I want to chew on it around the edges a little. If you’ve been reading this site for any amount of time, you know something of my fertility history. (If you haven’t, here’s the […]
