when i was a kid i wanted to grow up to be an artist. i made my parents get me watercolors and palettes and pastels and nice paper; i dressed up as an artist for future career day during spirit week in 8th grade. i don’t even know what that means — i think i [...]
my mornings are good: i am waking up more easily; i have my coffee and walk to the bus stop past pink cherry blossoms and white dogwood blossoms and bright bright red rhododendrons. today a creaky old man with a squeaky old wheelbarrow walked past the bus stop, squeak squeak creak creak, and we all [...]
it’s not that i hate the fat – it’s the feministness that hates (SO FUCKING MUCH) the thought that i would be a better person if i weren’t.

so i’m sitting at my desk in my office, in front of my computer with my book (discovery and decision: exploring the metaphysics and epistemology of scientific classification, by rebecca bryant), and i’m trying to finish my reading for class at 1:30. i just checked my email so i still had my hand on the [...]

i think i should buy shoes at target more often, because [...]
i hate XP: every time i right-click on the taskbar for any reason, i see “lock the taskbar” in the menu and i immediately get it stuck in my head to the tune of “rock the casbah.”
LOCK the task bah

monday i coughed, and tuesday i whispered and sometimes squeaked, and wednesday i croaked, and since then i have been trying to cough up at least one lung. yum.
