day twenty: electro spanish
From frsh: What do you think about video games, television and electronic entertainment? I’m not a gamer, so I don’t suppose I really have an opinion one way or the other about video games. As for television… uh, I watch it. I watch very little when it’s actually on, but thanks to the wonderful invention … Continue reading
day nineteen: turn me on
From ykw: What’s your biggest turn on? Hm. There are all all kinds of things that are deadly attractive — wit, intelligence, warmth. Gentlemanliness. (Is that even a word? Firefox says no. But I think it has to be.) “The Cinnamon Peeler” by Michael Ondaatje. “The Rain” by Robert Creeley. “Soneto XVI” by Pablo Neruda. … Continue reading
day eighteen: not about rain
From Greg: What sound or noise do you love? (There’s also an implied “and why?” in there, if you didn’t notice.) I wonder how many people pick rain. I do love the sound of rain. Especially when I’m in that dreamy half-awake/half-asleep state of being and there’s no reason to move out of it toward … Continue reading
day seventeen: lost & found
From my wifey: I am existentially lost. What should I, Emily T, your former roommate and current wife, do with my life, career-wise? What are some realistic goals I should set? Did you know that I’m married? I am. I have a wife. Her name is Emily. I know I’ve told this story before, but … Continue reading
day sixteen: beside the white chickens*
From Jessica Fantastica: If you had a pet chicken, what would you name it? I’m not sure I would ever have a pet chicken because I have issues with birds. I don’t like them. I mean, I don’t mind if birds are doing bird things somewhere else, but I don’t really want them to be … Continue reading
day fifteen: sunday afternoon, pink sweater
The nice thing about getting paychecks is that if you happen to see a very very pink sweater and you think “You know, I could use a very very pink sweater,” then you can buy it.
day fourteen: oh em gee
So hey, you guys. I was tagged in this photo on Facebook, and ha! I was four (or maybe three) when this photo was taken, and before last night, I didn’t even know it existed. Oh, the wonders of the internet, bringing back memories of more stylish days. (I believe I’m wearing a denim skirt … Continue reading
day thirteen: exercise and goats
From Bill: 1. Do you have a specific exercise routine? Not really. I try to do a Pilates series first thing in the morning to wake up my muscles and to keep my back from being a bunch of knots. I skip that sometimes, and when I do, I can tell. I guess that’s exercise, … Continue reading
day twelve: really the exciting part is about helen of troy
From Jeremy: But I gotta ask, is there a subcurrent of crushtata going on with one of the other admins on a certain Flickr group? First of all, I think I hate the word “crushtata” because it makes me think of mammograms. Think about it. Anyway, I am co-admin of a couple of Flickr groups … Continue reading
day eleven: writing, etc.
From Warren: Why do you write? For you, would stopping writing be like stopping breathing? The short, easy answer is that I write because I want to write. I suppose, though, that at its core, writing is something I originally turned to because it seemed very natural to me. I come from storytellers on both … Continue reading
