There was a boy
a very strange enchanted boy.
They say he wandered very far, very far,
over land and sea.
A little shy and sad of eye
but very wise was he.

-Nature Boy by E.A.

This has been two days of barefoot summerisms. Yesterday my mother, the two dogs and I went up to the Bighorn Mountains, first walking the remnant of the old road on the western ( Read more... )

I have a problem. I am an addict. Time has come to admit it to myself. Worse, I am a conneseur sort of addict. I am very picky about the origin of my drug of choice. If it isn't sold from an Asian market or Gevalia I am in serious doubt about its quality. I've even turned my sweet, unsuspecting girlfriend into a drug runner; she gets me my stash ( Read more... )

Summer solstice three years ago was my favourite. My mother, sister and I went to the hot springs and dinosaur museum down in Thermopolis. This solstice I get to go home and crochet. Damn. I'll try to give Loren a call --I need my Boy Fix for the week.

I'm in ill sorts. I have nothing to do at work for the week at work, am going to a funeral ( Read more... )

I still don't have access to my files (artwork I'll be putting up in DeviantArt from this last semester and poetry from the ( Read more... )

This may be the last time I'll have to "hijack" the work computer. I'm finally signed up to get my Internet installed... my own computer for the first time since November. Yay! My images, poems, everything that's been on the hard drive... I miss it.

I am suddenly homestick for the little church of St. Julien le Pauvre in Paris. Wham, out of the veritable blue. I dug out my Highlander the Series tapes and watched the handfull of episodes where the church was featured and felt a little better. It's been seven years to the day since I was last there and the feeling of love for the place has not ( Read more... )

I'm going to a Christmas gathering with friends of my family, because we're all from Elsewhere. We have five Californians and one woman from Iowa. I invited Danielle, a familyless woman from work to tonight's dinner. She's also Californian ( Read more... )

My friend at work gave me one of the most beautiful Christmas card that ( Read more... )

One more week of school left. This is fortunate, because as of last night I broke the last two toes on my left foot. My mother had left boxes out in the small downstairs hall, and one of the dogs ran beside me as I tried to navigate the maze. I tripped and banged my hip rather nicely too -I spent all day laying flat on my back. I am sitting here ( Read more... )
