The Road Not Taken
Because I'm tired and mostly delusional from trying to summarize Hegel and then Freud and then Nietzsche, here's my rant for the day. Some of you may have already heard this, but you just can skim on over ( Read more... ) -
Lent = Superbowl
Ah, Lent. How I love thee. Next to Advent, my favorite season of the liturgical year ( Read more... ) -
The Floor
I've discovered that my favorite part of any given room is the floor. Though I live by myself and have perfectly good chairs and a table and a couch, I usually put my food on the floor and chow down. I read on the floor. I watch TV on the floor. As a matter of fact, I probably do my best thinking on the floor ( Read more... ) -
Squishy happy day
In honor of last week's Valentine's holiday and because I've had a squishy happy day, I want to take a quick sappy moment to spread the fact that my heart is beating peanut butter. While I don't think I'm qualified to give expert advice on traditional romantic relationships (not to mention there's a whole cottage industry devoted to the topic and I ( Read more... ) -
P.O. Box 6033, Clarion Iowa
Someone's trying to kill me with body wash.
I went to my mailbox yesterday, hoping as always to get something interesting, or even just something other than supermarket flyers or bills. And boy, you know what they say about being careful what you wish for...next time around I'm going to rejoice that all that's in there is eighteen pages of ( Read more... ) -
To the flies
Oh fruit flies....where are you coming from? You've been quietly flying around my apartment for weeks now, and I can't for the life of me figure out what is keeping you alive. I scrubbed my kitchen, mopped the floor, took out the trash, cleaned the refrigerator, and looked behind all major appliances just in case something gnarly had fallen in some ( Read more... ) -
Grr. Arg.
I woke up this morning achy and sore. My back is sore, my legs are sore, my shoulders are sore…between yoga and capoeira I haven’t taken a day off in about two weeks. On top of it I’ve got that slight head congestion and rundown feeling that usually presages some sort of cold. As usual, I've been doing too much, and I think it’s catching up with me ( Read more... ) -

Fruit Salad Woes
Why is it that fruit salad inevitably sucks? It's always heavy on the canteloupe and the honeydew melon, which I hate, and then they throw a few strawberries and grapes on the top to make you feel like you might actually get a decent mix. But no, you dig down even a part of a layer and it's crappy melon everywhere. Where are my blackberries, my ( Read more... ) -
Of penguins and hot tubs
I had quite the loveliest birthday yesterday. After going out on the town on Friday night for one of the best nights in recent memory (good friends, much entertainment, chicken taquitos) I woke up yesterday to a phone call from a friend and her husband, who came over and made me omelets, biscuits, and pomegranate champagne drinks. It was a ( Read more... )
