“You’re never fully dressed without a smile” from the musical Annie Hey, hobo man, hey Dapper Dan, You both got your style,but brother, You’re never fully dressed without a smile! You’re clothes may be “Beau Brumelly,” They stand out a mile,but brother! You’re never fully dressed without a smile! Who cares what they’re wearing On […]
I didn’t update yesterday. Did you miss me? It was for the best, really. I did nothing Monday. I think I stared into space. Monday did not exist. It was so boring that it barely registers a blip on the radar. I might have gone to work at some point. I don’t know. But yesterday…. […]
Bah! What a weekend. I’m all sore and whiny. Saturday was very possibly one of those days which go on and on and on forever. They are rare those days. I’ve only had a handful in my life. One was a Friday during my sophomore year of college… the Friday before Memorial Day weekend, actually, […]
Busy day. I had off today because I was the West Coast girl all week and worked until 7:00. Dang people in California. Last night, a slew of us went to karaoke at the Ass Splinter bar. I wore my Ass Splinter Pearls along with my Scully suit, thus was karmically protected from harm. Or […]
It’s spring! It’s spring! It’s spring!!! This morning, a subtle threshold was crossed. I walked outside this morning to get something out of my car. In my bare feet and wearing only a pale yellow t-shirt and my flowered boxer shorts which look like actual clothing. And I did not die of frostbite, even though […]

Kim V brought her child to see me at work today. Her child is four weeks old, but technically, should only be like two days old because he was a little early. This makes him very adorable, tiny and wrinkly, much like a delicate Faberge egg which needs ironing. Oh, I know that one mustn’t […]
I’ve spent the last three days searching for former professors of mine. I need their recommendations to apply to a PHD program in English because I can’t just take a night writing workshop, I have to be in the program. But I think they’ve fallen off the face of the planet. One has apparently written […]
Today is wimpy and gross outside. What is more, I had to use LIGHTS this morning when I was getting ready. LIGHTS!!! Wasn’t that the point of Daylight Saving (note: no S, per Eloi)? To have more light? The thing about that cruddy spring DST jump is that I don’t just lose that hour once. […]
I have this incredible urge today to respond to everything anyone says to me with “This is what I’m saying!” But I’m resisting this urge because I know that once I succumb to that temptation, soon I will be Bob Doling and referring to myself in third person. And Weetabix doesn’t like that. (sigh) I […]
It’s the March Poetica Assignment. Yeah, it’s April. But the March assignment wasn’t posted until March had long started. And sue me. I have pneumonia. No. It’s not a poem, really more of a short short story. But it’s on the topic. And it’s supposed to be creative. And did I mention that I have […]
