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 there are a few unrelated things. Good news! I got half of my CAT/TB response back in the mail already, and my CAT application has been approved! This means that I no longer have to look for work, they’ll just give me my UI benefits until May of 2011. Yesterday I logged into […]
In which I share the story of my 2010 pilgrimage to Mother’s feet. Guru brahma gurur visnuh gurudevo mahesvarah guru saksat parambrahma tasmai srigurave namah (I prostrate to that Sri Guru who is Brahma, Vishnu, and God Maheshwara, and who is verily the Supreme Absolute Itself.) At the very front of the archana book, there […]
In which I heartily approve. Yes. Yes, yes, yes. Yes. If you’re not familiar with the details of the good doctor’s story, Dr. Wakefield is the guy who published the shoddy research that led thousands of people to believe that there was a link between certain vaccinations and autism. I say ‘shoddy’ because The Lancet […]
In which I’ve chosen a plan of action. I’ve been unemployed for six months now. I’ve determined that there is no work for me here: I’m either overqualified or under-qualified for everything. To continue living here in the valley, I either have to find a minimum-wage job that doesn’t have thirty other applicants who are […]
In which I tell you about my weekend. And the crazy fluctuations in my state of mind. (Seriously, watching your mind do whatever it does is EVER an exercise in weird.) Friday night I went out and got drunk for no good reason. I hadn’t intended to get drunk, but I was sitting at the […]
In which I tell you about the things I thought. This morning – where “morning” equals 12:30pm, which is when I got up – I informed the universe at large that I needed some answers to yesterday’s questions, and then I didn’t really do anything very focused about it. I was going to meditate, but […]
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 even 10-day breaks don’t seem to lower the efficacy of these nifty little free programs. Okay, so I told you I’m doing these online exercise thingies, right? Where you do, like, an “exhaustion test” (that’s some kind of sporty-person lingo, apparently) and compare your results with this little table which tells you how […]
In which what? In which nothing, really, I just wanted to post something. Tuesday, I went for a superfun walk with Curt. It was beautiful. There’s a slideshow here, if you have a hankering to see gorgeous eastern Washington in the spring. Thursday, I had a wonderful interview. They told me at the time that […]
