I do think of tam trivel.
I lot. I lot. I am not a lot of a lot is but of a little, little-ish. I am speaking of time travel, especially, and I am connecting y to b and I am altogether skipping z and a as if they do not exist and I am forgetting to call about a plane ride.

Bust of a moose must boost.
I am in a silly fancy mood, I look like a cup of Earl Gray tea with steam pouring off the top of my head as I contemplate a Major Life Change I've been wanting for months. Puff puff puff. I am in a lavender jazz mood, languishing in lovely thoughts the kind that could make me fly. Flying! I am in mud, basking in it, it's warm and it cleanses my ( Read more... ) -
Under the bigtop.
Someone typed the letter "z" and I did not object. I left it there for months. I wondered what it meant. I printed it out and put it up on my wall and on the days that I could not get up from my bed I stared at that "z" and I wondered. Sometimes I thought I knew its significance.

Slack, snack, shack, stack.
I ate coffee today and I wonder what is going to happen when it is sleepy time and I am craving cake and ices. I wonder I wander. I used to be zany and weird and witty all the time... and I miss that. I love this natural marshmallow fluff. I love my haircut and I love my stylist. Rocking my third good hair day in a row. Missed my chance to collect ( Read more... ) -
Floating in the most peculiar way.
I was ushered along my little path by the friendly tails of squirrels and the kind warmth of the sun. I felt the magic again. I'll take it when I can get it, that magic that makes a feather out of me, and I just float along singing, humming, skipping, laughing, smiling, and hugging the trunks of trees. You can't get a better friend than a tree. -
Novel Brainstorming I
Dial-up. Takes forever. She drums her fingers impatiently on the desktop, studying the familiar sound the modem makes, like a low-quality recording of a waterfall, or a shower. Then come the eerie, eardrum-piercing beeps ( Read more... )
