In which there are styles of handwriting to look at. For no real reason, I’m trying to figure out which style of cursive I learned. I’m beginning to suspect that changing schools so often actually exposed me to multiple systems, because no single script style encompasses how I form my letters — D’Nealian, modified Spencerian, […]
In which I don’t really do this anymore. I used to read in bars all the time. Paper books in the day, then Newtons, PDAs, eBook readers, phones and Kindles. Most bars have at least some comfortable seating with a reasonable amount of light, and they have drinks, too, of course. Nothing better than a […]
In which there’s yum. So today I made pinto beans, brown rice, enchilada sauce, salad, and spicy crumbled tofu, and here it all is assembled into a meal on a plate. Electric pressure cookers are amazing for making beans and brown rice, by the way. You can do beans from dry in 35 minutes and […]
In which this is my first meal of the day, so it’s breakfast! Pink pinto soup and a brie sandwich on baguette. I didn’t get up until nearly four o’clock this afternoon. I was supposed to have gone to meet my aunt for lunch, but I was still asleep when she called around eleven-thirty, and […]
In which there’s white trash refined carbs! There are a lot of ways to make macaroni and cheese. Most of them are stupid, if you’re tryna get a meal on the table and not fuck with getting a bunch of extra dishes dirty, because they want you to do shit like make white sauces and […]
In which there’s travel! We went to New Hampshire! In a plane! We stayed in a hotel! This was the view! I wrote about it in my traveler’s notebook! Amma’s programs were in another hotel, so I had to walk back and forth twice a day! My Google Fit app told me I walked over […]
In which I’m just saying stuff I’ve already said because it’s Sunday afternoon and I have nothing better to do but repeat myself. I mean, this is literally just a re-do of a post I’ve already written, only with newer pictures! Step one: Don’t have heard of Midori traveler’s notebooks or bullet journaling. Live in […]
In which I continue to try to figure out why I care so much about people being wrong. today in the shower i gave an imaginary person a lecture about chiropractic: “chiropractic doesn’t do anything but separate people who can afford it from their money “there are one or two adjustments that actually do something, […]
In which I’m not Bill Gates, but I have a book list, too! I’ve finally started Cloud Atlas. I bought it months and months ago and it’s just been sitting five screens deep on my Kindle Paperwhite: It is absolutely goddamned brilliant. No question. A Calamitous Chinese Killing is still in the pile. Inspector Singh […]
