project: DIY jewelry display
This is what I started with: It’s a mess. And while I am not the most organized of people, I tend to crave order (yes, I am in constant conflict with myself). So a few weeks ago, I was cleaning and reorganizing, which is something I do, and I hit the point of I CAN’T … Continue reading
this makes me happy
I’ve had serious things on my mind these days, and have been, to quote myself in an email to Missy, “a horrible bitchface” lately, but you know what? It’s terribly dull to be a horrible bitchface. I can’t really sustain it. Because hey, it’s 82 degrees and sunny here in Michigan. In March. I can’t … Continue reading
quick hits (lord knows i love a numbered list)
1. Last week I went to see The Black Keys. I’ve loved them for awhile, due to my friend Jason, who once sent me their entire music catalog (at the time) on CD, and I listened for a few minutes and thought “Oh. Oh my.” So, thanks to my Australian friend for introducing me to … Continue reading
if you ever somehow manage to drop a spoonful of greek yogurt on your keyboard at work…
…I’d recommend not trying to clean it out with a cotton swab. Because then the cotton swab might get stuck IN THE KEYBOARD. And if that were to happen, you might perhaps find yourself requiring assistance from someone who first has to take a picture, because seriously, you jammed a cotton swab into your keyboard, … Continue reading
a good day
Hi, Internet. I have not died. Now that I’ve gotten that necessary bit of news out of the way, I figure I’ll set about updating my blog. It’s been hectic lately, though as I remarked to a friend recently, hectic is the norm these days, so much so that it doesn’t even really bear mentioning … Continue reading
so, i saw ryan adams
Look, here’s proof, in the form of a bad photo that I removed a lot of digital noise from when I processed it, so now it’s really blurry, but that blob with the guitar? Ryan Adams. I saw him at the Ann Arbor Folk Festival. The reason I was at the Ann Arbor Folk Festival … Continue reading
the one new year’s resolution i’m determined to keep
Years ago now, four of them, maybe (four years? really?), I got an email from a guy I’ll call Greg, because that is his name. He asked me to join the staff of the website Utata, which is the public presence of an active Flickr group. The reason I joined the staff was to write … Continue reading
adventures in puppy-sitting
A woman I work with raises Leader Dogs for the Blind, and just got a new puppy, a black lab named Shiloh. She needed someone to watch the puppy today and, um, ooh! Pick me! So, Shiloh’s been hanging out at my house. At first, Sweet Pea was like, “Um, this is totally not cool, … Continue reading
printed on paper and everything
My history with Literary Kicks is a long one, consisting of both online activity and in-person hijinks. The site’s proprietor, Levi, is a good friend — I’ve slept at his place more than once, we’ve been drunk together, and we danced at his wedding (that wedding was more fun than any wedding has a right … Continue reading
a christmas wish for you
I wasn’t particularly looking forward to Christmas this year (I think “dreading” is a more appropriate word, in fact), I think because December last year was an exercise in seeing how miserable I could be and still remain functional (insanely miserable, as it happens), and so the holiday still bore a whiff of “Oh good … Continue reading
