just like you said it would be

this morning john and i saw a tiny fuzzy kitten in the window of the bookstore. we were looking at the original edition, out-of-print philip k. dick novels, and then suddenly there was a little black and white kitten sitting on one of them, kneading it and looking at us and mewing. we were torn [...]

i wandered empty streets down

i don’t know if i ever properly thanked shelby for the name laurenisms. it has been a useful construction and has allowed me to not have to think very hard about what to name new things – like kitchenisms.blogspot.com, which shall be my new cooking blog. yay, cooking!
this weekend’s success: tomato soup. but [...]

my name’s stewart ransom miller – i’m a serial lady killer

ok, so i take it back, bobby. sorry. but there is only rhett. i hope you are not too sad.

he played songs i wanted to hear and didn’t expect, like “buick city complex,” and the usual (“rollerskate skinny,” “west texas teardrops” [with john rauhouse = awesome], “come around” and “our love” acoustic, “designs on you”) [...]

she sees shooting stars and comet tails

jeopardy went pretty much as i expected, though the test was actually easier than i thought it would be. i did not, however, pass, even though there were lots of art and literature questions (some of the responses included van gogh, monet, steinbeck, d.h. lawrence, and one involving sylvia plath). out of fifty, there were [...]

just to see how it will end?

tomorrow i am going to try out for jeopardy. the way the tryouts work is that first there’s a written test, which is what i am taking tomorrow, and then if you pass that, you go on (later, i think) to a mock show tryout, and then if you pass that, you go on a [...]

and when i whine, pay me no mind …

today is buffy outfit day. i hope everyone else remembered to wear tall boots and plaid skirts too! and makeup!

(song: “your adorable beast,” bobby bare jr. this has ousted “four-eyed girl” as the cutest song ever. poor rhett – i hope he’s not jealous.)

in the day, i am dreaming

i have always hated the idea of ‘retail therapy’ – i think it encourages women to self-medicate with consumerism. every time, though, i go buy new clothes or yarn or something. maybe it’s that it gives me something else to think about; maybe i’m just doing it right now because i suddenly can. in any [...]

she looks composed, so she is, i suppose

life has become busy yet left me with nothing interesting to talk about. every day i think about posting, but can never come up with the right combination of creativity, energy, and time. right now, however, i am putting off going for a run; if i sit at the computer long enough it will get [...]

thoughts like this that catch my troubled head

last weekend i was in portland and, briefly, eugene. i went to portland to see margaret cho with shelby and stephanie, but of course also got to hang out with my lovely sister. on friday i went to pick her up at her school. it was the first time i’d been back to high school [...]
