I’d really like to sit down and write another screed about the house across the street that is larger than the office building I work in and that the upper class twits who built it only deign to visit two weekends a year.
I’d start off by discussing the fact that their swat team of landscapers [...]

WHAT a glorious day.
This was one of those days when you feel like you have five bajillion things to do and there is no way in Whoville you are going to get any of it done and then POOF! it’s the end of the day and you rule.
And now it is the end of the [...]

The lovely Nita and the infinitely adorable Rio just paid me the honor of a visit. Because I was too busy getting my hair cut back to a more reasonable length by Nita I was unable to photographically document the historical encounters that were taking place between my boy-cat Satchel and Rio, who is the [...]

You know, it occurs to me that perhaps I should be shopping right now. I exercised extreme control over the last two weeks, wrote down all my stupid little expenses, and ended up still with money in the bank when my next paycheck came around. This means I need to spend spend spend, [...]

I went out to see a band at a bar last night and that never happens! Live music! Sweaty young people! Psycho-surf madness! I mean, sure, some parts could have been better. After all, I used to do this whole “live-music-in-a-bar” thing for a living, right? Or did I dream that? I’m beginning to think [...]

Freaking somebody gave me Photoshop and I have had a headache ever since.
Do not get me wrong. I am totally in love with the damn thing. But I fear that during the seventy-eleven hours I have spent obsessively learning how to use it, I have sprained the muscles used in brow-furrowing. I am an inveterate [...]

Oh man, am I ever a sucker for a nice, rainy Saturday. Especially in April. Rainy Saturdays in November are full of stark reminders of the winter to come, that-which-must-be-endured. Our eyes are still getting used to the lack of leaves on those blackened overgrown sticks we thought all summer were trees, and we wonder [...]

My old ballet instructor had a poster on the wall of the studio that I can only assume was meant to inspire us. I’m sure it made her feel very groovy and inclusive whenever she turned her steely gaze away from our barre exercises long enough to do a visual check of the premises, the [...]

It might not be the wisest move, but I have opened the windows. The weather channel says that it is 50 degrees, the house needs airing out, and anyway my cats told me to do it.
When I woke up this morning there was a bright red cardinal nosing around the base of the birdfeeder. I [...]

I went to some frightfully silly gathering the other night — there were various beautiful people all in a room together, trying to help the rest of us be more like them, mostly by way of a ten-minute chair massage and a little extra hair product and eye gel, I believe. It mostly gave me [...]
