I don’t know if I’ve ever mentioned this but I have something called Polycystic Ovaries Syndrome. No, my ovaries are fine and as far as I know, I have not even one cyst, let alone many screaming hordes of cysts (why do I imagine some kind of cystic concert, maybe a Lefty Lollapalooza and a […]
I have lost some weight. Not a lot of weight, certainly not bucket loads of weight like my friend Anne, who writes the incredible Body of Work diary that’s part of the new Elastic Waist thingy (which, by the way, is where I’m updating three times a day Monday through Friday like clockwork, although sometimes […]
I just got back from Milwaukee, where I bought a car from Chris Daughtry(!) and a Russian named Igor and I am not making that up, either, his name was Igor. I kept giggling, every time he said anything, every time he got paged over the loud speaker “Igor to the Parts Department!” because they […]
I have been on prednisone for five days. Yes, the pneumonia, she looms once again, but this time, I think we nipped it in the bud. Or in the balls. There was some nipping. I seem to have found a magic antibiotic this time, one that does not make me throw up and one that […]
Here’s what has happened since the last time I blurted out my brain pictures onto this white space: my project from hell continues to remove pieces of my soul and chomp on it, and I’ve had about four million pages of science fiction to read, and also have decided now that my science fiction professor […]
I get a bunch of shopping spam at my work e-mail account for reasons I really don’t understand (gee… maybe all the online shopping I do on my state-mandated breaks) and most of it just gets deleted because the space in my work account is even more precious than the space in my closet, but […]
For the last week, I’ve been dunked headfirst into project land at work. Days spent in planning meetings, and having the uncomfortable position of needing to actually pay attention to said meetings, because I was like, in charge or some crazy shit. Which is just crazy, because these people are all sort of rock stars […]
I am once again in Shermer Illinois. Y’all got a lot of geese here, man. Seriously. What’s with the geese? Already there are two marked differences between this trip and last trip. First of all, I’m staying in a hotel with free wireless internet. It’s closer to my office (and also Starbucks) and still gives […]

I went to see Dr. Lorax again, for the bump on my knee that is still there after all of this time, after six months of physical therapy and a year of ice bags, it’s still there. My god, the movie they were filming up the street is now actually in theatres and yet, this […]

Another bulleted travelog. Because it’s easier this way. Trust me. Easier. I walked into Tiffany’s in Union Square, feeling the full weight of my unencumbered gold MasterCard in my DKNY tote. I saw a pair of diamond and aquamarine earrings that tickled my fancy. “Excuse me.” I said to the lady behind the […]
