My weekend. Has been eaten before it began. My coffee. Is not sitting well in my stomach. My cat. Is slowly getting used to being in the car. My nerves. Are a little shot. But damn it, I'm excited.

So in high school, I was in a band. We were pretty awful. I think we were better at writing songs than we were at performing them, actually, because I just came upon an ancient notebook of mine with a ton of them written down, and other snippets of songs never finished ( Read more... )

Little known fact: for about a year, while I was in high school, I contemplated a political career. I was a volunteer intern with the Democratic Coordinated Campaign in 2000, and I was hired as an intern for Senator Feingold's office the summer between my junior and senior years. For a tiny while I thought to myself, you know what, I could be a ( Read more... )

so real life has invaded big time. what the hell. I'm no good at all at this real life stuff. therefore, I might need some time to sort it out. beers might factor heavily in said sorting.

So I came to a cafe so I could concentrate on writing without, you know, distractions, but then the cafe had free wireless. This is a total step backward for technology, but cafes don't seem to realize it at all. So with the document open in the background, and some crap playing over the cafe speakers that I can hear because I stupidly forgot my ( Read more... )

Got in from Madison this morning, far too early. Went to work. Suddenly felt very, very weak and very, rather ill. Sat down. Got the shakes. Manager laughed at my pain. Went out back door and hurled my guts up. Customers join in the laughter. Hilarious. Coworkers as well. Put on dish duty for two hours until finally sent home for being useless. Not ( Read more... )

I prefer working opens to working closes, but they sure do mess me up if I haven't gotten enough sleep. Last night was up until 2-something again, woken by the alarm at 4:45am, and off to work. Ouch. There were many yawns. And that meant that I came home this afternoon, ate something, fell asleep around 5ish, and woke up now, at 9:30pm, my day all ( Read more... )

So big storms in the UK today. Yep. Mainly on the west coast. I am not on any coast. And yet.

( This was my garden wall. )

Tomorrow, for the third day in a row, I'm getting up at 5:30am for an opening shift. The next time you stop in to your local coffee place for a cup of joe, or a skinny white mocha, or an extra dry soy cappuccino with two pumps of gingerbread syrup (EW), think of that. Think of how I saw the night sky and all its stars on my way to work this morning ( Read more... )

I'm slow, okay? It was a busy week and I needed to work up to saying real things! These things take time. And just now I read this post and it inspired me to just pony up and say it. Whatever it is, just say it because when else are you going to get the chance? Honesty is the best policy, so I'm just going to tell my truth and let that say whatever ( Read more... )
