In which I’ve checked some boxes on my to-do list. Slept a solid 8 hours… in a row! (Lately I’ve been sleeping in shifts. Bit annoying, really. Had to work Saturday’s 11-7 shift on a mere four hours sleep, because I woke up at five in the morning and never got back to sleep.) Woke […]
In which spring has FINALLY fucking SPRUNG in the 55408! I took this while walking to work this morning: The trees here leaf out so quickly you can hear them grow. They start late, so they have to!
In which I’m reposting an hilarious series of texts Embo sent me last week, because she said I could. If you’re me, you have excellent friends. And people who have excellent friends occasionally get text galleries LIKE THIS: Look at that clean-ass living room. And that punk-ass beer fridge! LOVE IT. Painting?! VOLUNTARY PAINTING PROJECTS?! […]
In which I know they can’t be persuaded until they’re ready so I’m not bothering to post this on Facebook, where I wrote it in response to someone’s anti-vaxx post, but I didn’t want to delete it. The risks of being exposed to diseases are known, and they are horrible. The risks of vaccination are […]
In which we’ve decided to move! I’ve made no secret of the fact that I’m not a fan of the weather out here. There’s no spring or fall, just sweltering, muggy summer, and blizzard season. Living in Uptown is kinda cool in that there are art stores and coffee shops and diners and bars and […]
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 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 […]
(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 […]
