so it feels like forever that we've been dealing with the coronavirus, and travel plans have been put on hold indefinitely (i was really looking forward to that road trip across the south ): ): ):) but instead of that, or doing any actual travelling, i'm going to (finally!) talk about the last three trips i took instead. yay for writing things down ( Read more... )

i had grand plans for a post talking about how the year has been going, or at least the travelling i've been doing, but -- nope. instead i'm doing this. the untamed has eaten my life in the last couple of months, so i'm going to drop the number by half again this year, and we'll see how that goes:
( new year, new movie list! )

dear universe

i would like an estimate for how long a streak of bad luck can go for, because s e r i o u s l y. at fifteen i broke my finger playing basketball, and then at 30 i broke my toe chasing a dog through the kitchen. i figured it would be at least 15 years till my next fracture, if ever, but nope. barely a year later and i'm already on ( Read more... )

i haven't been journalling as much in the last couple of years, but especially this one, because 1) life, and 2) it has been epically awful. except the human experience is a strange thing, because nothing ever seems that bad with a little distance. so maybe not journalling about it isn't the worst idea. i'll never remember how terrifying it's been ( Read more... )

so this year has been a bit Not Good thus far, to put it mildly. broken feet and council rejections aside, there other things i should probably sit down and journal about that i don't really want to, because that means having to think about it and deal with the fact that it's actually happening. i don't know if i'll be ready to do that until things ( Read more... )
