Phone numbers and other news
Yesterday and today I started putting phone numbers into my phone. The lawyer, the oncologist, the radiologist, the hospital in Clear Lake. It makes more sense than trying to keep their business cards organized, plus there might be more numbers to keep track of later.
It feels significantly different, doing this. I mean, even though I grew up ( Read more... ) -
The ball keeps bouncing
This idea for a post has been bouncing around in my head for a while now. It would be called "Confessions of a wicked stepmother." Sat down the other day to try and work on it... and kind of hung fire. Still feel weird about it. On the one hand, it's an idea that won't leave, and those are usually the good ones. I know I can't possibly be the ( Read more... ) -
A quick one, before I start the day
So I just finished moving, and in the course of moving, I had to move a box of my old journals. And it was quite heavy. Having to move things makes me think about whether I really need said things. And I considered ditching them, but I can't really entertain that idea seriously. Just can't. Maybe someday, but not now (although clearly ( Read more... ) -
And then, this happened...
ALERT: There will be a major disconnect between the last post and this one (mostly because it's been, what, at least five months...?) Consider yourself warned. I will try to come up with some sort of adequate segue later. Promise.
So. Yes. This... thing happened yesterday. It's a small thing--minute, really, compared to what I've witten about ( Read more... ) -
(Untitled)
So the other day, I received a tlc.state.tx.us e-mail in my tlc.state.tx.us e-mail inbox reminding me that exit meetings would be scheduled May 31, preparatory to sessional layoffs. Made my heart sink a little bit. I mean, it isn't as though I've been kidding myself that I was somehow going to find a way to stay up here. I've been seeing far too ( Read more... ) -
Candy Slice, anyone?
I'm drinking ginger kombucha, in hopes that it will settle my stomach. Said stomach is not having a good day. In other news, I'm also trying to learn to like kombucha. It's a bit of an uphill battle.
In other-other news... Ever since I heard about Poly Styrene (AKA Marion Elliott-Said) dying this past week, I've been on a 70s punk kick. I'm ( Read more... ) -
Puppy me!
My God. Ever feel like you just stepped in a big pile of Crazy? That was my weekend.
Oh. Kay. Dammit... Puppy me!
That is all.

We interrupt our navel gazing for a morbid moment of humor...
Oh, dear:
"What is the simplest, cheapest, and most environmentally friendly option for dealing with a cadaver? Easy: turn it into a coffee-colored liquid which “can safely be poured down the drain.” Ohio has ordered a funeral parlor to cease liquefying corpses, however, though there is no law against it, Associated Press reports."

Obama Derangement Syndrome?
Back in the day, right-wing pundits referred to "Bush derangement syndrome". Now we have what I'll call "Obama derangement syndrome."
From Wonkette: "Is Obama's MIL a black witch?" & "After 8 years of a president sent by God..."
