(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 […]
In which Minneapolis twitter is enthusing about “Spring,” but, having lived somewhere better, I can state unequivocally that what passes for spring here is a weak-ass attempt at what can be a glorious season. “Spring” here is brown and ugly. You can only tell it’s spring because of the slightly sweeter air, and the sudden […]
In which it’s warmed up to 48F and most of the snow is gone. I was eating tacos at 8 o’clock this morning. Scott kept waking me up (I can no longer sleep through anything and everything, a side effect of living five decades, I understand), and I stayed mostly awake after he left for […]

In which I got sick as hell. Sunday I got off work, came home, had some cape cods, Skyped with my friends, and went to bed. Monday I woke up late morning feeling normal, and within a couple-few hours I was sick. I thought it was influenza. Fever, cough, aches, pains. Exhaustion. Oh, it was […]
