This entry will be gone by tomorrow, but DUDE! I scored 99.5 on this mofo! (It helped that I got the bonus round right… although I think it would have been higher… it didn’t total points for some correct answers because I had spaces after the word… be careful!) Quite obviously, I do not listen […]

I simply cannot get over how different my days are without another person in the house. It’s almost like my mind is quieter. I remembered to take the DVDs back to the store. I return my ice packs to the freezer the second they go limp. I bought some lovely Bosc pears and arranged them […]

I had class last night and was able to shake my apathy, although it’s hard when I’m essentially in an Intro To Fiction class with people who’ve never taken a writing workshop before.

Something about computers and storage and that’s when it all turned into blah blah blah inside my brain. I should pay attention more, because when people […]

I’m sitting here on a in aisle 31, seat F of a jet plane pointed at Chicago, sitting next to Shawn, who is wearing the cutest boots in all the world. And I don’t even want to let her go because she’s the last link to Journalcon that I have left. And she has convinced […]

So Journalcon is like four minutes away and I’m having my standard pre-trip panic attack, right on schedule. My Weetamix swag is in various levels of completion. I don’t know what I’m going to wear. My dry cleaning won’t be ready until Thursday night. I have to stop and buy liquor for my hotel room […]
