Today, the southeast region is focused heavily on the southeastern states. Florida, Georgia, Alabama, the Carolinas... Murder, rape, abduction, threats, bombings. Political extremists, separatists, racists, misogynists. I wanna go home ( Read more... )

This morning, I am feeling a bit more even-keel, which might be okay, since last night I suffered from such elation it's probably not healthy. There was the sunglasses thing, and I paid my cable bill, and I got some nice shampoo & conditioner, and got some crickets for "the girls", and snuck into the convention center and patched a tape recorder ( Read more... )

The sky is blue, the trees are green. The sun is shining, and I don't mind a bit. Even the heat seems somehow less unbearable. What has caused this change of heart? Have I fallen in love? Have I found g∴d? Oh, no- nothing of the sort ( Read more... )

I'm looking for information on the geologic evolution on the North American continent. Something comprehensive and concise, with lots of brightly-coloured pictures. Please ( Read more... )

All winter long I was in reasonably good health. Now the springtime pollen has opened the doors to infection. I make angry rants on the gross bread-smell of tree-spooge, and the way my car turned from blue to yellow overnight, one night last week. Nastiness in a flood of mucus. Out with this slimy secretion! I was denying that I am sick for a few ( Read more... )

I get terribly lonely. I miss the boy. I know he's going to school and getting on with things, as he should, but sometimes it seems some time on the phone would make it all better. I don't expect a reply to every eMail I send. I am afraid of this "growing apart" thing I hear happens in long-distance relationships. It doesn't help that my phone gets ( Read more... )

Coming up out of temporary partial paralysis, that dreamtime where there is nothing to do but read. The attention deficeit takes a holiday sometimes. I wrap twelve feet of hard silk around my ribs, black diamonds and eidelweiss. Immobilised. Four hundred pages later, there's an ache in my shoulders. I will have to pee soon, so I start unwrapping, ( Read more... )

I think things are going... well? I'm keeping on level today, keeping moving. The wind howls- what did mom always say about March? In like a lion, out like a lamb. Then, April showers bring May flowers & mayflowers bring pilgrims. Down with the rosemary and so, down with the baies and mistletoe, down with the holly, ivie all...I need to work in my ( Read more... )

It rained all weekend, all night last night, and only now the clouds are dispersing. That was inconvinient while I was transporting materials for my project, which were mostly cardboard, but otherwise it did not directly affect me. Indirectly, though. I ache. My back has been hurting for about a week, and the rain did not bring healing love from ( Read more... )

Creaky all over ( Read more... )
