A chicken's life.
Our girl Monster was euthanized yesterday morning. She was 4 years old. Over the past six months she had slowly but surely lost half her body weight. We'd tried antibiotics, deworming, extra treats of every variety to get her to feel better, and everything seemed to be working for a time, but then she just got very weak.

I think I am at my weirdest in the morning and in the kitchen. Today I stood on a stool and turned in a circle while my bagel was toasting and imagined that I was 7 feet tall in my kitchen for about 5 minutes. I have the slowest toaster oven on the planet. Then I cut and ate a mango. I am beginning to understand the subtleties of mangoes after this ( Read more... ) -

Ian and I decided we would go to Hawaii, then realized that Hawaii is crushingly expensive to visit, so we went to Cancun which has been officially recognized as the poor man's Hawaii.

My kitchen constantly looks like that scene from The Sixth Sense where Haley Joe Osment tells his ( Read more... ) -
many arms with which to hold you
I wish that Octopuses were longer lived. If so I would have a whole wall of tanks filled with them and I would teach them all to communicate through sign language and wear little octopus clothes, but it's no good loving something that will only last 3 years at most. I learned that from my last relationship. BAZING!

Your skin is something that I stir into my tea
I got laid off/fired from my job. It is a very strange feeling to be unfettered by a 9-5 after 8 years of desk job. I was super sad and ashamed at first, but then I thought, "Wait a minute. I can do anything I want, now. So I did.
