In the interest of energy conservation and time management, this one will be short and sweet. I’ve been writing less this week, certainly fewer full-on essays. I have, however, had…
I landed last night at 1:30 a.m., which my body sort of thought was 4:30. I got home at 2:30. The alarm went off at five and I got up half an hour later. I feel like, how do you say…
I’ve finally gotten a decent night’s sleep and the world is starting to feel like I belong in it again, mutual warts and all. I’ve loaded a few photos into the computer, cleaned…
This weekend was extremely windy. I like the wind well enough; it sounds cool and moves things about; the only thing about the wind that leaves me less than happy is that it brings out lots of…
Oh, so many things to share and drone on about.... but even with a notebook packed with onanistic ramblings, there’s only one topic that really has my attention: IT IS FREAKING COLD IN THIS HOUSE. …
I don’t think I’ve been abusing my privilege here. I try to use my words, to explore ideas. When I post photos, they’re usually chosen for aesthetic reasons; they’re…
I’ll admit it: somehow I wasn’t getting my RDA of office angst so I got myself hooked on The Apprentice this year. For those who are smart enough to avoid the subject, TA is a reality…
Whew. Got in last night from a great vacation in suburban Maryland with the inlaws, and boy are my arms tired. Then, I forgot that I was supposed to come to work today, so I got in late…
Today is much more than “new-bed-delivery day.” That’s a holiday for Kel and me, but the rest of you losers who still sleep on dufflebags full of rocks and sticks shouldn’t feel…
I am such a tease, am I not? To tempt you nice bloggy readers with a photo of myself in a hebrew cartoon shirt and then not to give you the goods. Well wait no longer, fair blogsylvania. …
Listen to me, Blog Peoples:
Tell it, Chuckles!
Yesterday sucked. Testify! It sucked long and it sucked hard - and it did not suck in any of the nice ways. …
Here’s the thing: I have some essays written up, and more ready to write - all too wordy for today, there’s neither time nor energy for sustained thought. Ergo:
* I was getting…
Big doings today. Here’s a quick scraping of my frontal lobes. Chew thoroughly, you don’t want this stuff coming back up again:

What kind of seed is it that makes…
I will admit it: this week is kicking my ass, and it’s still only wednesday. I have been massaging so much data at work that I’m turning into a massagonist. My mind boils and…
A grand jury indictment is not a conviction; it isn’t even evidence of actual guilt. It’s just a determination by a grand jury that sufficient evidence exists for a criminal prosecution. …
part III of an apparent series of riffs on furniture and furnishings. does it mean something? should I be worried?
I tend to spend entirely too much time in my chair. …
wow, my listmaking abilities seem to have finally found an outlet. obviously I’m setting the world on fire with this stuff. that’s why I can’t stop the magic - the…
Ho-ho-ho! E-e-e-rev Chanukah!** I’ve been scouring the alleys and under the cushions of my sofa for a lovely gift for y’all, but all I found were some old cheerios and frankly I already…
I finished my fun book a while ago. It was a rollicking read and barely lasted me a week; my friend to whom I lent it had a similar…
Remonstrations to the contrary notwithstanding, the impossible has happened. I thought it never could, but then it did. And then it happened again. And again and again and again. …
In light of the amazing popularity it’s garnered David Blaine to suck a tube in public for a week, I hereby announce that, starting monday, I will spend seven full days - 168 of your earth-hours…
* Well, that’s thinking outside the box.
* You think so?
* Sure. Way outside.
* I don’t think so. I think that was really in-the-box thinking.
* Really?…
It’s not like I care that much about baseball. I used to care deeply, but that was before I hit puberty, and now I find it merely to be a decent diversion when I don’t have anything else…
I’ve had a cough for a few days and today I’m definitely feeling a bit under the weather, though I’m at work so as properly to impress my supervisor since it’s just one week…
I feel as if I ought to get a post up here but I don’t really have much energy to put into it. I’ve got a few pre-written, of course, but that requires a lot of typing and reading…
Sometimes you (I) just don’t feel like being productive. After cooking a surprisingly satisfying meal last night (tilapia fillets marinated in lime juice, pepper and mint, quick-grilled…
(written yesterday. posted today because I couldn’t log on till now.)
Oh for goodness sake, this has been a very full day of work, for which I am grateful and appreciative…
I want to get a little new material up here but, for various personal and professional reasons, there isn’t much time or energy for it. However, yesterday morning I kept having notions and…
I don’t mean to sound overdramatic, but I’ve got my plate full today and tomorrow. And by full, I mean seam-burstingly overpacked like a corgi in sausagecasing. If life is like…
