There are no good songs for 31.
29 had a great song- “29″ by the Gin Blossoms.  30 had a pretty good song, even if “My Next 30 Years” is galaxies away from being autobiographical for me at the moment… it was still a good song.  I wasn’t trepidatious about turning 30, not like I am […]

Cormac gives us this quote this week:
“Sometimes it’s better to light a flamethrower than curse the darkness” Terry Pratchet
I’m not taking the quote literally - of course- because we all know that if I had a flamethrower, then dark or not, I’d be finding every possible reason to employ it’s use.  I like fire.  I […]

I’m not in a bad mood, necessarily, but I’m not really in a great one, either.  I’m feeling quiet and mumbly, so you get a bit of introspection from me but not too much sharing.  Cool? Cool.
• I AM: feeling a little bit disconnected today.
• I WANT: to not have this funky hitch going on […]

My father has been in town.  That’s all the explanation you need.

Sooo…. I have a swirl of things going on in my mind today, but none of them really have a thing to do with anything else.  Let’s see how this works out…
Sabine and I have Valentine’s Day plans (entirely dependent upon her getting out of Dallas, of course).  We’re going to work on projects, including […]

Kat’s contribution to the Quote Challenge this week:
“Experience teaches us that silence terrifies people the most.” ~ Bob Dylan
Kneejerk reaction:  “Oooo….Really?”
I love silence.  I especially love companionable silence as a group activity.  Being able to cozy down in quiet with people, or just a person, that you trust well enough to be able to be […]

Things that do NOT suck:

OS sent me some photos that made me feel really good about myself.  No, YOU can’t see them… but I can, and I love them.

My father’s health is concerning me, but at least he’s here where I can keep an eye on it closely.

It isn’t snowing, at least not yet.

My boss […]

So far today….

I turned off my alarm and went back to sleep and did not take go on my morning walk, which I do feel guilty about.

I’ve gotten highly annoyed with my boss, whom I normally love greatly (and I still do- I just do not LIKE him much right now)

A cyst ruptured (it happens, […]

Monday is pretty suck-tastic around here. I’ve attempted to pull my head out of it, but all attempts at writing are resulting in whiny, complaining testaments, and I don’t want to release any of that into the world today- so instead, I meme. You care, you know you do…
1. What was the last […]

See, here’s the thing.
I had a fantastic weekend. It was really pleasant, and as I headed home this evening to hang out with my dad, who had made it into town to stay for a day or 20, I was really happy and calm and peaceful. I had to make a quick stop at […]
