It was warmer and sunnier in Seattle than in Louisville these past few days and that’s a sad state of affairs all around. I arrived in sunny Seattle late-ish on Thursday night after a bit of a dicey plane ride. I hate to fly anyway, and being sick only amplified my burning wreckage paranoia. I’d […]

why isn’t facebook in the blogspot dictionary?
I went back to work on Tuesday, the swelling having (mostly) given way to a bright greenish-yellow bruise just over my left jaw bone and extending a bit onto my neck. I’ve never seen a bruise quite this color before—like some kind of exotic fungus—and to have it on my face was doubly enjoyable. There […]

**************** Part 2 **************** It has been said that New Year’s Eve is the worst holiday in creation. Mostly, it has been me that has said this. I’ve mentioned before that I don’t really like people all that much, but I do enjoy parties (“You hate people!” “But I love gatherings. Isn’t it ironic?”). This […]

Sorry for the lapse, everybody. December was a crazy month. Just as I was settling back into life post-jury duty, I was stricken with what might have been the flu or TB, possibly bronchitis, perhaps the worst cold of my life, maybe even all four. I’m still hacking up pieces of lung every now and […]
Read more...part 2: Mormons in Cincinnati
When we last left our hero, she was battling a dehydration headache and the post-fair traffic out of town… I’d planned a few hours of dead time between the fair and when I needed to leave for Cincinnati, hoping to run a few errands before heading out of town. Instead of being productive, though, I […]

Because when she came over for dinner last night (gazpacho), she brought not only a bottle of clear nail polish, which I’d asked for, but also a bottle of wine, which I did not. And because when we were done with the bottle, and So You Think You Can Dance was over, she drove us […]

On Saturday morning my mom and the twins had to go to a court-mandated class called “Families in Transition” for parents getting a divorce and their kids to talk about feelings and watch videos. I was partly sympathetic, partly smug, as my parents split back when divorces were quick and dirty and thankfully I didn’t […]

It’s been a busy last few days. I was going to shoot some pictures at Cave Hill with Karina on Friday, but she had to work late, and it rained most of the day. Later on we went to Ramsi’s and I finally got to meet Ann. Karina’s been talking about her for months now, […]

I get more hits when I say things like “porn” or “fuck” in the post title. My co-worker, Laura, and I decided we needed to stop spending all this money at campus restaurants, so we made a bet to see who can go the longest without going out for lunch. Whoever caves first buys the […]

The newest addition to the menagerie. This is Natalie’s new bunny, whom I named “Frances Stew-Pot.” Because we didn’t know if it was a girl bunny or a boy bunny (since confirmed female) and because as far as I can tell rabbits are only good for one thing… The name started as a joke (mostly) […]
