Five Years

Sunday, July 31st, 2011

Five years. Last week, though (like the bad little blogger I’ve been lately) I only just realized, marked five years for me as a blogger. Reflecting on that time, both upon blogging and the content on which I write, I’ve experienced quite a bit of Life over those years… I fell in love. And out [...]

Catching My Breath

Thursday, June 9th, 2011

Yesterday afternoon, I realized I had put on and was wearing my underwear inside out…for the second time this week. To say I’m a bit distracted, a bit stressed, even a bit overwhelmed might come close to describing the tornado of activity and change I’ve experienced in the past two months. Might. Packing, packing, and more packing of [...]

Kidney Stone or Stone Baby?

Tuesday, March 15th, 2011

Okay, I admit it. I can be a teensy bit overdramatic when it comes to being sick. But, then again, I’ve had some pretty janky ass illnesses (see: The Cough). So, when this past January found me rolling around in the dark in bed one night with side pain so severe I thought my appendix had [...]

You know what? Enough is enough. I’ve been ageist before and I’m about to be again. Except this time, I’m going after all those Crabby Ass Old People. Fucking toolbags. Seriously.

Thin-Skinned

Monday, November 8th, 2010

“This shouldn’t hurt a bit,” the intern told me as she pricked the skin of my shin. “Anything?” “No, not really,” I admitted even though I did feel the needle poke and settle. I laid there on the acupuncturist’s table and tried to think of more pleasant things as she continued. Whales swimming south from [...]

No Brain Cells Were Injured* in the Writing of This Post

Wednesday, March 17th, 2010

Vacation is imminent (2 days!) and yet work is as crazy as ever and my immune system has succumb to whatever late winter/ early spring ass hattery sinus contagion I must have encountered on public transportation. And as an added bonus, I haven’t been able to eat solid foods for two weeks thanks to my unholy [...]
