when you're a kid, you spend a good half of your awake time daydreaming about what it's going to be like when you grow up, who you'll be and what you'll do ( Read more... )

it is godawful early in the morning but tahoe is beautiful and the sun is coming up and i didn't get in all that long ago so i'm too wired to sleep just yet anyway. for the record, it matters not how many beers a gentleman has consumed, whether he's passed out drooling and snoring on the bed. he will wake up in less than four seconds flat if a ( Read more... )

home is calling me, thank god. i love what i do but i'm so damn cranky when it means being away from home, from the things are mine and that i know, from my pots and pans and my spice rack and oh, him too, i guess ( Read more... )

it's an absolutely gorgeous day out, the kind you want to capture and hang onto. sean and i went for a walk. he was all dolled up in his baby camos with his hair pushed up in some semblance of a mohawk and i swear he looks more and more like his dad every day ( Read more... )

it's funny being around weiland, in that i have so many memories tied into high school that involve too much pot and stone temple pilots. they say the really interesting people wear their stories in their faces, in the lines of their hands. i'm not sure who "they" are, necessarily, except that scott's one of those people where you can see every ( Read more... )

when i was young, and trended even more to the melodramatic than i do now, i didn't keep journals, but i'd buy them all the time. i loved the weight of the paper, thick and rough, and the way the nib of a fresh pen just cut across it. i never used them to record my own thoughts, or rarely, but everyone else's. book upon book of quotations i'd ( Read more... )

noah and adam called earlier in the week to tell me they'd be in town for the weekend, maybe a little sooner. i guess i should have known right then and there that a bad moon was rising because family only ever conveniently appears when everything is going to shit ( Read more... )

i feel i would be highly remiss in my girlfriend duties if i didn't urge you all to go out and vote for dan and i as hottest hetero couple, because let's face it, i'm never winning an oscar and the grammys won't come to their senses until dan's in the twilight of his career. sigh, green day ( Read more... )

on the way to the grocery store this morning i stopped at one of the local coffee shops to get some horrific decaf soy concoction. i live for the day when caffeine will once again know my name. this lactation thing is highly overrated, although it gives me the appearance of a chest for whatever the duration of the process. dan likes that. hi ( Read more... )

I got pretty devastatingly sick when I was young, just a toddler. No huge disease or anything, just a run in with pneumonia that freaked my parents out something fierce and landed me in the hospital for a few days. I don't really remember much of it, just flashes, it's one of those occasions where you've been told a story so often that you begin ( Read more... )
