This evening shall be spent dancing around my room and listening to The Clash too loudly on headphones. I need it ( Read more... )

After all these years, and in spite of the plethora of wonderful things that have been happening lately, I still find myself having to deal with the lifetime baggage that can't actually be gotten rid of until something I have no control over happens. I'm lonely, I've said it before, but more and more lately I find the weight of...not being single, ( Read more... )

Oy gavolt ( Read more... )

Last night I had the strangest dream, which is the line that starts a song about the Powerpuff Girls, and because of that it's doubly relevant to this particular entry ( Read more... )

Ahhh, the day that was today. Best Sunday in memory. Aside from starting the day with a lovely storm, which was a treat, I also had a blast with Oliver solving a mystery - he was delighted to find the boots by the door constantly moved by a 'mysterious force' - and got home in time to see the guys off, for they graduated yesterday and went home for ( Read more... )

Hey, McDonald's? I get the tie in with Avatar, but script for the commercial is so absurd that whoever came up with it should be barred from publicizing anything bigger than a state fair for the next decade or so.

Throughout the day I found myself with the unusual and unusually strong urge to shout random Alfred Lord Tennyson quotes germane to whatever situation I happened to find myself, mostly from "Idylls of the King," which makes even less sense because it's not a piece I ever devoted measurable scholastic time to. And when I thought it couldn't get ( Read more... )

On what turned out to be a delightfully lengthy walk with Gabriel this afternoon, I beat a squirrel in a game of chicken. I was disproportionately pleased with that accomplishment. A random guy also hit on me with some very specific and unsubtle questions while I was on the aforementioned walk. Mighty direct, the random black men of Kalamazoo who ( Read more... )

One of the best things about Spring and Summer is the fact that half the WIDR DJ's skip town, leaving open variety slots for me to pick up from time to time, which I did this very day. :) The last couple of times I've subbed two cool things have happened: 1) a guy called to say how much he liked not only what I was playing, but listening to me on ( Read more... )
