i’ve never been too good with secrets

it takes one “the new year” and almost one “we looked like giants” for me to get all the way from the bar to my front door.
life is good. today i got a good volunteer cataloging gig and the card of the guy i want to work for at corbis. and it is almost the [...]

from the passenger seat as you are driving me home

i am skipping work today to sit at home in my pajamas, sniffling miserably and impatiently waiting four hours so i can take the next dose of cough syrup. i could be using this opportunity to clean my room, take out the garbage, start piling things up to go to goodwill … yep, i [...]

but the bread’s too stale

today it is warm! it gave me a headache but after i got better i realized it was the perfect day for drilling holes in garbage cans (compost pile!) and learning to belly dance.

(song: “ice cube,” clem snide)

but till then i look up to the sky

three unrelated paragraphs day:

i feel like it hasn’t rained in forever but it is finally raining today. i had forgotten that i like waking up to rain-sound. unfortunately the lovely greyness of today also made me very lethargic so i didn’t get as much homework done as i had hoped. this is the Term of [...]

(song: “outro (with bees),” neko case. sorry for using the same song twice. it is just the right song to use right now.)

‘cos there’s no sure footing

look what i did!

the snow gods have heard my call for Sunday Snow Day and have allowed me not to have to go to work!

if you don’t know where you are, you might be lost

in direct opposition to ‘most everyone else ever, as far as i can tell, i am pleased that it appears to have decided not to snow, at least today. on the other hand, i was kind of excited about the idea of a snow day, so i’m declaring sunday to be Snow Day even if [...]

to the extent that it’s absurd

i had one thing on my agenda last week – one! – and i managed to avoid doing it all week. i made stitch markers with little beads; i made crêpes and ratatouille and salmon with green sauce and blueberry sorbet and cherry sorbet; i finished two books; i spent a whole day putting songs [...]
