So we came to February
Actually, it started in January. (Actually, it started in October, but we don't need to delve into ancient history.) I had a hole in my ear, and somewhere in the ringing and the buzzing and the silence the Best Boss Ever announced that he was leaving, and they fired The Mentor, and something was very off in the reports concerning The New Ringleader ( Read more... ) -
Dear self,
When you don't go around the house singing, it's a pretty good sign that you're not happy. I mean, maybe it was a little bit because of the ear infections and the deafness and the laryngitis that you got out of the habit. But mostly it wasn't, and you know that about yourself. Don't hide behind lies.
It's good to hear your voice again.
love, Me. -

What's not working
I had groceries delivered yesterday. And it was beautiful, not waiting for a bus on perhaps not the safest corner all loaded down with too much stuff, not hauling the groceries the blocks to the bus and from the bus, being able to just buy stuff without that weird calculus of how many cans and how much bulk and oh, crap, eggs. I only ordered heavy ( Read more... ) -
Thanks. I think.
So today I got outed as the freak with no plans for Thanksgiving ( Read more... ) -
The truth about this relationship
People ask me what I like so much about living in College Green (some curiously, some incredulously). I have stock answers that I pick from (community, simplicity, the similarity to the People's Republic, the pink Queen Anne duplex across the street) and they are true and they usually satisfy ( Read more... ) -
Where I am/where I've been
There's a Torah portion, that happened a few weeks ago, that basically consists of the HOBBH telling the Jews, "these are all the ways I can screw you over. Don't f it up." And by all the ways, I mean columns and columns of really awful crap. You sorta begin to wonder why we'd put our trust in someone with such an evil imagination, and it's tedious ( Read more... )
