Parts 47, 48, and 49 of a cryptogram

So been awhile, ya? I started writing Things I Like at a difficult period in my life. I felt like I was always complaining online so I wrote TIL to force myself to think about good things. I figured it was good for me (changing my frame of reference) and good for whoever was reading this (who wants to read ( Read more... )

Parts 44-46. Now with hungover ramblings!

Actually, I'm not hungover. I don't really get hangovers, partly because I rarely go overly-crazy when I drink (that sentence fragment has more ly's than a Korean phone book) and partly because of...I dunno. Genetics? Both sides of my family love the booze.

Parts 40-43 of best of seven series

Autumn leaves. I love watching them fall, even though some are surprisingly sharp. I love the colors and the way they can change the appearance of a landscape. I love the way they crunch underfoot and that smell they release when you step on them or rake them.

Bass clarinets. They just add an extra ( Read more... )

Parts 37, 38, and 39 of an extended play

The names of journals I come across at work. I love the ones that are short and abrupt, the kind whose subject matter you can't mistake. Spine. Blood. Dermis. My personal favorite is Combustion, Explosion, and Shock Waves. Best subject matter ever. It's like they got a focus group full of 8 year old ( Read more... )

Parts 33, 34, 35, and 36 of a 12-step program gone horribly wrong

Step in Time!  Great musical number.  Just don't try to do it in real life.

My wallet.  I love it, unfortunately no one else seems to.  Or maybe everyone does.  In any event, I can't find it anywhere in stores and I really need a replacement.

Sherrod Brown's voice.  The junior senator ( Read more... )

Part 32 of an emotional Heimlich

Pushing Daisies.  Okay, it's a weird show.  Whenever you deal with zombies--sorry Ned--re-living individuals, you've ventured into some weird territory.  And sure, Ned and Chuck felt for each other in an unrealistic amount of time.  No argument here; however, if you look at it as a fairy tale for grown-ups, it works ( Read more... )

Part 31. Special voice post edition.

What's so special about it?  Nothing really.  I just felt like blabbing about the first three songs of Gordon while my pasta cooked.

Hello City.
Enid.
Grade 9.

Parts 26-30 of a story more convoluted than anything Square-Enix could come up with.

( I love lamp )

Parts 20-25 of the ultimate showdown of ultimate destiny

The color of the sky before a summer storm.  Actually, the entire build-up, eruption, and aftermath of a storm is damn sexy.

Breakup songs.  From the pathetic ("Thanks That Was Fun") to the angry ("Song for the Dumped" "Eat Blazing Electric Death, Bitch") to the deluded ("For No One") to the ( Read more... )

Parts 18 and 19 of a fortold tale

The internet.  Where else could I find a calendar made of people and guys with Miss Piggy fetishes for free?

Nature.  Particularly the bits that make you wonder if there is a god and if so, what type of drugs it takes.  The community
