dog on the freeway
So the other day Justin and I were on our way home from somewhere when we spotted a dog running along the shoulder of the freeway. It was a Border Collie, and it was filthy and bedraggled and obviously terrified. I pulled over. It was a reflex ( Read more... ) -

voodoo
This morning, before he left to return home, Justin and I went to a gourmet donut place called Voodoo Donut. He had a maple bar with bacon on the top, and I had something called a "Diablos Rex"--a chocolate cake donut with chocolate glaze, chocolate chips, red sprinkles, and a vanilla-icing pentagram ( Read more... ) -
Rufus
Two days ago, Justin and I celebrated our six month anniversary. We didn't get to spend a lot of time together, but he came down from Chico after work and took me to see Rufus Wainwright play in Oakland ( Read more... ) -
overheard at Macy's
Here's a funny exchange that happened while I was waiting in line at Macy's today. The woman ahead of me was with her mother, I assume, a very old little lady who must have been a bit deaf because she spoke so loud.

green fire
I've just remembered this. Last weekend, Justin and I went on a hike down to Feather Falls (which was awesome, but not the point of this story). While on the way there--it was about eight or nine in the morning and already full daylight--I was looking out the window of the car, listening to music, holding his hand while he drove. We were neither of ( Read more... ) -
(Untitled)
A couple of weeks ago, while on my way somewhere else, I was lured in by the siren call of Chipotle. Since I wasn't in a hurry, I bought myself a burrito and I sat on a bench in the sun to eat it. It was really quiet and pleasant there, with a chilling breeze and copious birdsong. I felt meditative and calm. It had been a long time since I took ( Read more... ) -

news
I've been seeing someone. His name is Justin, and we met last month via Madison, whose house I started moving my things into yesterday afternoon (Justin and Madison's husband have apparently been best friends since they were little kids). He's sweet and funny and we've been having a lot of fun together. I'm trying to keep my head on straight and be ( Read more... ) -
irony
So Thursday rolls around, my one free night for packing and preparing for Move v.1.0 this weekend, and I'm sick as a dog with what may be strep (if it is not gone by Saturday I suppose a doctor visit may be advisable). Go figure. I did manage to drag my sorry ass to Ikea, however, and now I have a sweet loft bed and a comfy new mattress.
