In which I defend my degree-lessness. And whine. I have six years of higher education to my credit, but no degree. Although my grades at MHCC were only just above average, when I left MIU my GPA was comfortably over 3.5, and last term at WWCC I made the president’s list. I’ve taken musical performance […]
In which there’s a free-form ramble on the topic of writing. This is a zero draft with only basic editing. People keep telling me to write, that I should write, that I should “be a writer,” and I do write. I write hundreds of thousands of words every year, but the secret I know is […]
In which I share a little revelation I had last night. While chatting with Mel over IM, I made an offhand comment containing that famous axiom from 80’s flick War Games: “The only winning move is not to play.” And then I realized how very much I believe that. If I find myself in a […]
In which Wednesday is hump day, and it totally feels like it. Yesterday, I did a bunch of exercises. Then I walked all over town. Today my glutes hurt. Last night, I went to GoHo (aka The Golden Horse) with Kit & Cat and had a marvelous time. They invited me backpacking with them sometime […]
In which I make an admission. And then we move on, people! Nothing to see here! Okay, so, like, yeah: last week was an embarrassing series of over-indulgences. I overate, I partied all night (booze ain’t diet food, and neither was that nacho cheese served at afterhours), and yes, I smoked cigarettes too. (Not a […]
In which I can stay up all night if I want to, because I have nothing to do during the day. Yesterday I watched TV and ate a burrito. That was my entire contribution to the world. Srsly. Last night I left the house at 8 o’clock, picked up the Wolf, and went to Barnaby’s […]
In which unemployment is beginning to take its toll. I stayed up well past two, watching Torchwood on Netflix. (I still love you, Ianto!) Then I slept for about twelve hours. Not straight through, though. I actually woke up at ten and thought about getting up, but I didn’t. I just laid there until I […]
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 every time I go to New York, I have some sort of revelation about how unhappy I am. This is a very long post; YHBW. The last time I was in New York, I’d gone to sing on my friend Barbara’s a capella album. I went because I was invited, not because I’d […]
In which I travel for twelve hours and end up right back where I started from a week ago. I got up at seven this morning (that’s FOUR in the fucking MORNING Pacific time, my babies, but WHO’S COUNTING?) and met my car in front of Jake’s condo at 7:20. Arrived at La Guardia twenty […]
