(Untitled)
gods forbid I say this on Facebook, lest I start a firestorm, but this whole celebration of Osama's death makes me a little... uncomfortable.
It started this morning with my crazy boss using the company card to buy breakfast for the staff "because of some good news last night". Like really? We killed a terrorist. Have a bagel on us.
I'm not trying to ( Read more... ) -
a confession
Admittedly part of me has always been a bit sad that I never dated "an artist". A painter, a sculptor, a singer, a musician... because what girl wouldn't like to be a muse? Who wouldn't like to be a Galatea and have a work of art dedicated to her? I listen to a song like "Blue Eyes" by Cary Brothers and I wish just once I had a song written for me ( Read more... ) -
now THAT'S an anniversary wake-up!
on this the morning of our 5th anniversary, J got up early (as per usual I was barely conscious for this) and proceeded to make some light noise in the kitchen. I didn't think much of it but he walked in a few minutes ago, right before driving to work, to wake me up with a Tiffany's blue bag and a vase full of bacon roses.... to clarify: he took a ( Read more... ) -
Lunch with Nana, part 797

Apparently if you get her a Chinese lunch special, ( Read more... ) -
Sketchers Shapeups (and Falldowns)

And there's my belly-laugh for the day.
"Oh I lost all this weight, ( Read more... ) -
The Ranting Gardener: Fuck You, Frost
A lot of what we plant is supposed to be planted "after the threat of frost". I realize that if I want to be totally sure, I should probably wait until May to plant. But after so much crappy rainy weather, we get some warm sunny days and we were too excited to wait. So this past weeknd, we bought flowers & veggie seedlings and planted away ( Read more... ) -
an open letter of apology
Dear Hair: Please forgive me. I'm sorry that last night you resembled black jeans that had bleach spilled on them. I'm sorry that after last nights bleach (and this morning's subsequent bleach to get your color back to normal, then a coat of brown over that) you are now crispedy crackedy crunchedy. Just stay with me until Burning Man- I'll dye a ( Read more... ) -
