Lists
reasons to live (a project, of sorts)
This past week, a friend of mine (and an all-around amazing person) tried to end her life, but fortunately the attempt was unsuccessful. This morning, when I had a quiet moment, I got to thinking (as I often do) about life. Sometimes it just seems so big. Too long. Too uncertain. Incredibly difficult and exhausting. … Continue reading
the thankful list, 2011
I didn’t make a list last year, because I was doing that NaBloPoMo thing and had to get something posted before midnight but I’d found myself at the end of the day with no time to write a list. It’s okay, though I missed doing it, and I decided this year to return to form, … Continue reading
because of the daffodils
Oops, I’ve gotten boring again. Sorry about that, loves. I mean, I don’t think I’m boring, but my blog certainly is. I can’t guarantee that this will be help alleviate the boredom, but at least it will be a post. Here’s a quick update: 1. Oops, maybe I shouldn’t get dressed in the dark, because … Continue reading
things i accomplished today
1. Drank coffee. 2. Watched this video: (This is a cartoon version of a conversation Greg and I had when we were coming up with Iron Photographer elements — and coming up with Iron Photographer elements is something that’s a bit involved, but fortunately I already wrote about it here and here. I bet you … Continue reading
words words words
Last night, I was trying to fall asleep (this is more difficult sometimes than others) and I couldn’t because I thought “You know, people don’t say ‘flummoxed’ enough.” And then I started thinking of other words I wish I heard more, which turned into a series of thoughts about words I like and words I … Continue reading
unemployment benefits
In letting my blog lapse into a coma, I seem to have missed a very important anniversary: I have been unemployed for more than a year now! [Insert cheers and confetti.] Among the people I know, I’m sort of the grizzled veteran of joblessness. (Except not grizzled. Still rather fabulous, really.) So many people I … Continue reading
things i learned from this month’s cosmo
You guys! It’s time to learn things from Cosmo! How exciting! Exclamation point! 1. Let’s get things started with a new and probably one-time-only feature: the in-depth analysis of the cover: The Hot Issue, eh? I wonder if this means that Cosmo will finally start talking about sex. Do you think guys still like blowjobs? … Continue reading
elsewhere
Since I’m obviously not coming up with my own material this week (my brain has been engaged elsewhere, overthinking things that don’t make for good blog fodder), here are some things from other people. Enjoy. 1. Target Women: Dating Advice. Good luck with Al Roker, Sarah Haskins. 2. The 10 Most Bangable Celebrities of 2009. … Continue reading
things i learned from this month’s cosmo
I forgot to learn things from last month’s Cosmo, and I couldn’t let myself continue having such huge gaps in my education. So I was in Walmart on Friday. I hate Walmart, and it’s not on principle, like some people hate Walmart, it’s more because I hate being in stores that large, as they make … Continue reading
25 songs
Every once in awhile, I like looking at my 25 most-played tracks, as determined by iTunes. My iTunes list is different from the Last.fm list, maybe because I rarely scrobble (nobody needs to know how often I listen to songs on repeat) and my Last.fm account includes things from the collection on the computer that … Continue reading
