In which I need to vent or cry or complain or get a hug or something. Bindu kept me up much of last night with terrible episodes involving screaming (the vet calls it “vocalizing”) and panting and whimpering and coughing; she’d calm down and almost sleep in between, but every couple of hours it would […]
In which I had a superfun birthday week, and here are the digital images to prove it! sun – Watched NOVA online and knitted and basically recovered from the previous day’s gig. Watched an awesome Bollywood flick. mon – Worked, but only two hours because there was an outage. Didn’t study AT ALL. Bought dog […]
In which I’m kinda disappointed. School starts on Monday. I’m registered, I’ve finally started to get financial aid awards, and I have a list of stuff I need to buy at the bookstore. So exciting! And the city buses have bike racks, so I can ride up to the transit center and take a bus […]
In which it’s… well, if not the best story, at least there’s a learning curve. That’s always good, right? Over the last few months, I’ve invested a non-trivial amount of time in reading up on bicycle maintenance. There are all kinds of informative articles and videos on the Internet, and it’s just a bike, right? […]
In which I haven’t posted in ten days and need to correct that little oversight. Since my last post, I have – gone to the county fair: – danced at the Stone Hut’s outdoor parking lot fair event thing, which was ended by a torrential downpour and at which I was nearly trampled. – played […]
In which I need to whine and complain. (Don’t read this drivel. Seriously. Go read something else. I am such a baby.) The boys over at Cocky & Rude nagged me into joining their diet competition back in July, and even though I haven’t really been dieting, I have been weighing myself every Wednesday and […]
In which I describe the awesome side-effects of suddenly halting one’s intake of various toxins. I smoked my last cigarette in the parking lot of a condo in Joseph, OR on August 14th. I had been heading toward that moment for months, really, and I was ready for it. I didn’t even want that final […]
In which I catch y’all up on how things are going lately. THE SPOKANE TRIP last weekend was, on the one hand, really fun. I enjoyed getting out of town for a couple of nights. The motel bed was far more comfortable than my own. I enjoyed sight-seeing in Spokane, and eating at Frankie Doodles, […]
In which it’s ALL good news, people. It’s like Xmas in August, I swear. Today is Day 5 of my smoke-free life. I quit smoking on the 15th. I’m using 2mg lozenges for NRT and I’m “workin’ my quit” (that’s lingo from becomeanex.org) and I’m doing really well. I wasn’t even a little bit miserable […]
In which there’s, um. Psssh. Yeah. Whatever. Gah. 1.) Kid behind the counter: I know you look at me and see an ol’ lady, but seriously. I’m capable of irony. Hell, I’ve done your stupid shitty job and tons more just like it. Don’t roll your eyes at me, punk, when I smile at you […]
