Well. Here it is, the end of NaBloPoMo. How do I feel? Tired? Accomplished? Like my life finally — finally — has meaning? Not so much, no. But I did write a post every single day for an entire month, which is a somewhat monumental undertaking in the history […]

I have had this shirt since I was 13. It was too big then and I used to wear it with — oh, the shame — stirrup pants. It’s still too big, to be honest, but that’s just another reason why I love it so.
About six years ago when I was in Venice, […]

They* say that sneezes are like orgasms, but you know?  I’m pretty sure that if I had just had three orgasms in a row, I’d probably feel a lot better than I do right now.
Lies, I tell you.  Damn lies.
*You know, them.

So, two of my very favorite people in the world (that would be Levi and Caryn) are getting married. (Bling!) I’ve known them both for a long time, since I was a 22-year-old drunken drama queen, to be exact, I’ve slept in both of their homes, we’ve had some poetry readings, partied like […]

I should know by now not to write when I have a fever, since having a fever seems to do weird things to my brain and makes me generally incapable of doing or saying anything that makes any sense. Like this morning, I decided that I wanted some pancakes. You know, because […]

My aunt got sick on Thursday, and my mom got sick on Friday, and since I was perfectly fine on Saturday, I thought that I had been spared.  Of course I was wrong, because I got it today!  Lucky me! Woohoo!
How many times have I gotten sick this year?  Nine?  Whatever, I’m such a champ.

So, a little while ago, I had to take some DVDs back to the video store.  I was already in my pajamas, because it’s been that kind of day, and when I was getting ready to go, I thought, “You know, I can’t really take the girls out into public all unfettered like this.”  But […]

(Note: the title doesn’t have anything to do with anything, except I have “Baby Got Back” stuck in my head today.  Maybe because I ate so much yesterday.  Oh my God.)
Hi.  Here is my post for today.  I’m writing it right now, but by the time you get to reading it, I’ll be done writing.  […]

Since I have just a few minutes until midnight, I have a feeling that I’m not going to get this post finished before it’s officially tomorrow, but I’m writing it while it’s officially today, I say it still counts. So there.
Now that I’m done using the bourbon for cooking purposes, I feel free to […]

How long does someone have to be gone before she’s not your best friend anymore? I don’t know. What I do know is that at 5-ish tomorrow evening, my best friend will have been dead for exactly one year. It’s been a horrible year by any standard, and not just because of […]
