red velvet
It already seems like my dad's birthday, which was yesterday, was ten years ago. Partially, I believe because the idleness of summer is slipping through my fingertips. Today was inservice day! Which meant ( Read more... ) -
i was the one worth leaving
This morning I sat in the sunroom, high on caffeine, reading wonderful essays on pop culture, and dying to write about everything! Of course life got in the way of that -- I had to get ready for my five-year-old cousin's birthday party (oh! the delight of birthdays!) Now of course I need to go feed some dogs and prepare for dinner out with a ( Read more... ) -

i'm a phone call away from basically being a college professor. the community college has offered me two more sections of english to teach, making this gig much more financially feasible, and requiring only one other gig (waitress with the mostest!) to support stevens' and my extravagant lifestyle ( Read more... ) -
an extraordinary machine
- the coyotes howled the moon up to its lofty place last night; such wonder and dread and lonesomeness in that call. maybe they were trying to call it down to them. maybe we are all trying to call the moon down to us.

paper cranes
- find "sixteen maybe less" by calexico and iron and wine right now. you will not be sorry.
- there is something about the night, the stars, the tired sting in my eyes, the cat purring at my ear (she's on the bed and I'm on the floor,leaning against it -- our roles reversed. how i dream of a desk!) that makes the moment rich for writing. rich for.... ( Read more... )

all that i know is moving away from me
The bugs are not so loud in Oregon; maybe they were, but I've already forgotten the sound of the night there. No -- wait; listen: first a sharp turn and the wind against the glass of the windows, the cowbells (still there, perhaps!) jangle. The rain begins its even beat -- not too quick, not too slow, waltzing against the roof. Oh, here I am asleep ( Read more... ) -
don't hold me because there's nothing else to hold
- I'm quite a bit in love with the band, The National. It might be time for an itunes splurge.
- A frame houses are A for awesome.
- I seriously need to disconnect the internet from my house once I have a job. Once again, I find myself much too interested in what's happening in this plastic castle.
- Speaking of which, I came up with a brilliant, and ( Read more... )
