"Pooholes!" my mom shouts. I'm pretty sure I should spell that Pujoles since it is someone's name. But I hear pooholes. That's all that matters ( Read more... ) -
Could be an honest word, maybe a sky report, maybe a weather bird
What's it like to go to court? Wouldn't have known if you'd asked me that any of the 24-some years of my life before yesterday. It's not so bad. And my experience isn't finished mounting. I've got one more date with a suitor that always shows up. I'll be a fucking expert. -

For some reason that "I'll Be" song by Edwin McCain is stuck in my head. Awful. I remember when I was in 8th grade and the class was supposed to choose an official song that supposedly would represent each of us collectively and thereby prove how cool we were and how ready to move up the endless ladder. We wanted this song. Now, if you'll ( Read more... ) -

Strange to think of the military starting their days with a zero. Technically. I would think they would always want something inspirational, not for their people to think of each day starting on a big fat nothing ( Read more... ) -

I've been without a laptop officially for months now. I had this incredible desire to connect with the internet world, so I am abusing Emily's computer at the moment to do so. Whew! It feels really weird, actually. I've adapted to life without a laptop very easily, surprisingly. When I told Monica this, she smiled in a profoundly amused way and ( Read more... ) -

Santa Cruz has been drowning for the last couple of weeks, but I don't think her thirst is anywhere near quenched. The power went out all over Santa Cruz during a storm shortly after New Year's. It was off in our apartment for 2 days, which is the longest I have ever had to deal with a power outtage while not living with my parents. I spent the ( Read more... ) -

I haven't posted in here since little Lulu and I parted ways. Today I briefly held a robo-dwarf at a pet store, and the little fellow was genial enough, but looking into his face I knew my hamster days were over. I would only be disappointed. Luisa was the last and the best. I'm feeling guilty that I've yet to write on the brick that marks her ( Read more... ) -
So it goes.
I held a little candlelight vigil for her last night, and when I woke the candles were still burning, but she was gone. She was my good friend, my palm-sized confidante, my little Cheerio-scarfing acrobat.
I'll miss her running around in her pink, sparkly ball. I'll miss her climbing all over her cage and making me laugh. I'll miss watching ( Read more... )
