No New Tale to Tell

Posted on | May 7, 2010 | 2 Comments

Sorry, I’ve had that song in my head for the last few days. I guess there are new tales to tell, really.

So know what? It’s bullet time!

• I think the word “huzzah” is making a comeback. David and I heard it while watching the John Adams miniseries on HBO and I find that it’s lovely for random occasions. See how you can use it in daily life. That is your homework.
• I am finishing up with my term for school, which means I’m not sleeping and have turning into a beastly person to deal with. The additional classes they added for the “F” are bringing me to my knees. I’ve spend more time in a state of panic, or talking Calie down from the edge, or whining that is decent. You know what’s terribly fun? It’s going to be worse next term. I have  3 weeks to write an entire book. Okay, well to finish book 2. Remember that life I had? Yeah, I don’t either.
• It’s silly, but my new purple hair makes me happy. When I told a co-worker how old I was, he looked shocked. “I refuse to grow up,” I told him. I don’t know what it is about me and this phase in my life but I’m having a lot of fun. I’m just being me, and it feels fantastic.
• We are debating moving again. Not outside of Portland. We can’t afford to pick up and move to Seattle when we both finally have jobs. But our house is pissing us off. The heat is sketchy, there is no insulation, and frankly, the house is too old. It’s also massive, way more than 2 people and 4 fuzzies need. But it is nice to have space, and we don’t have to worry about someone else accepting our creatures (why is it kids are okay, but having a cat with claws is a deal-breaker?). We are on the fence, but it comes up constantly. We need to either make this a place we want to stay or pick up and move. The decision will come eventually.
• I am sometimes reminded why we leave certain people behind, and seek others out from our past. Recently, I was reminded how much of an assshole someone was. May they enjoy their karma. And then the hubbie found his old roommate, which is brilliant. We have some secret plans regarding Florida, but I’ve said too much.
• I’m heading out to PA next month for my last residency, I think. I’m still contemplating taking one more res, in January, when I graduate. I get to hang out with my dear friend Nikki, who is going to lend me her corgi so I can smoosh him to death. Corgis are an ongoing obsession of mine… I blame Cowboy Bebop.
