I know that the internet is full of linky squee right now, but honestly, I sort of hate writing these entries after these weekends. I just know that no matter how many words I pour into this page, I’ll never be able to capture the essence of what was one of the highlights of my […]

I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to take such a long hiatus. I can’t really claim anything other than the growing snowball of Journalcon-related things along with my other entirely full calendar of Things To Do, People to See, Things To Do, More Things, More Things, Lather Rinse Repeat. Journalcon is over. Which is a sad […]

Yesterday, while driving to school, my car temperature gauge said that it was 86 degrees. The clouds in the sky weren’t right, though, for 86 degrees. They were scattery thin ice crystal clouds and not big poofs of tulle water vapor clouds. Something was up, but I didn’t want to think about it because it […]

Sometimes you are exactly where you want to be. And other times, not so much. By the way, remember how I mentioned that I have another fiction class? It apparently requires me to write fiction. I know! The audacity. I have a story due tomorrow. I got nothing. Nothing. Well, no, I’ve got a story, […]

I have the urge to cook. School has started. Geese are making Vs. The air is turning breath white. Venti vanilla nonfat no whip mocha every morning for a week straight. At night in our bed, instead of being two island nations in a sea of white cotton, with clearly defined international waters, there is […]

Ok, when I am wrong about something, I am totally wrong about something. And in 2003 (jeez, that makes me feel old) when Allison offered to host an afternoon in her boat, I think I pretty much said “Nope, no, no way” because I am vaguely uneasy about boats. Between the rafting incident and then […]

We had a tremendous storm two nights ago, with 70 mph winds and a bunch of houses without electricity, including our own. The Clampets’ tree fell over, grazing their house and destroying another tree and a shrub. Their trailer, however, remained unscathed. I know. I was hoping too. I was sort of screwed, though, because […]

Today, I had my yearly thingy with Dr. Perky, which is always a treat, because I can test my knowledge of officially recognized AKC breeds off the poster she apparently has in each exam room. Or maybe the poster is only located in the Girly Parts exam room. I don’t know. I should pay more […]

There’s been a short story floating in my brain since I visited the New Orleans aquarium, about courage among sharks, rays who speak in poetry and finish each others couplets and a lonely sawfish who somehow knew exactly how many sawfish there are in the world and knew exactly when another one died. I haven’t […]

This weekend was lovely. I was supposed to be laboring, and did actually catch up on my freelance stuff, but not as much as I had hoped. My To Do list is always an over-achiever. I probably could have pushed and made some serious headway on projects around the house, but this weekend was also […]
