Periodic moron

In: Everyday

So, I’m a dumbass again. I need everyone’s contact info. Because I’m no longer in Florida and have close access to your house (yes, I stalked all of you motherfuckers — be very afraid), I can’t get you stuff. What kind of stuff? Oh, random bits of this and that that made me think of [...]

Going north

In: Everyday

D and I are heading to Tacoma today to see Lex and her fam. Amanda is coming to beagle/kitty-sit. It’s good to have friends that love our creatures. The writing went okay last night. I’m kind of stuck again, wanting to rework the entire novel still, but unmotivated. Le sigh.
But now, the laundry calls. Need [...]

I fell asleep at 8:30 this morning (I just got up, and it’s just after 12). I know that sounds awful, but if I could show you the colors of my mood from yesterday to today — you would be impressed. I think I can call myself a nice emerald green. Yesterday, I felt more [...]

The keyboard

In: Everyday

Frankie… I bought the snifty new one, and saw the problem with the volume and such. Just do a software update and it corrects the problem.
I love this keyboard. There are those out there who scoff at the flat design, but for me, a person who lives on the laptop, this kind of keyboard is [...]

Holy shit! It it’s BIG

In: Everyday

D gave me his old G5.. so now this girl’s gotta desktop puter. I am going to need to get a new keyboard though. I’m not a fan of the apple keyboards. There’s a new one coming out that looks spiffy. Perhaps that will work for me.
I made a new discovery with this big puter [...]

Planting

In: Everyday, Happiness, Links, Portland stuff

This is chunky… I’m not up to editing.
I’ve taken to this whole “unemployed” thing. I spend my days reading, exploring the city, writing, and today I will garden. The yard is a blank canvas. It needs some love. We went to Home Depot the other day, Friday I think, and when I tried to pick [...]

MIA

In: Everyday

I’m going to disappear until next week, kiddies. I have a deadline tomorrow (which of course will kill me) and then D and I are going with C and B to Crater Lake for B’s birthday! Wh00t! I’m going camping!
See you next week

La Casa

In: Everyday, Photo

These are just a few shots. I haven’t gotten them all worked out yet, like a bathroom shot or a good image of the living room, but you get an idea. Wanna come over?

We got a nice little post-it note last night from someone who lives near us. It said simply “Your dogs bark all the time! Perhaps you should close your windows or something.” Really? All the time? Truly?
I have one thing to say: Fuck you.
I know this is probably from our next door neighbors. They are [...]

Happy birthday to meeeee

In: Everyday

I’m such a narcissist . Alas, it’s been a crazy year. So, happy unbirthday to the rest of you.
Now, I’m gonna eat some cookies!

Powells is the greatest place ever
My sister rocks. She’s coming down for my birthday and she [...]

I planned on getting a chunk of my writing done today, but last night I had a manic snap…and it lasted until I went to bed sometime after 6 this morning. I figured after dawn hit that I should try to sleep. It didn’t work out well, but because I’m all kinds of sparky right [...]

On the porch

In: Everyday, Portland stuff

I’ve been here for a week, and I can’t even begin to tell you about all of it. I will be honest, though. Although I’ve got the words hanging on my fingertips, I haven’t shared them. I still don’t know what I should say. While the time has passed, I’ve come to understand the reality [...]

Home Sweet Home

In: Everyday

I wrote about the trip, the chaos and the amazing journey here, but it got lost in the shuffle from free wifi to paid and a few moments of “oops” when I thought I saved a blog post rather than just closing the window. It’s safe to say that D and I are finally in [...]

Home Sweet Home

In: Everyday

After a hung over day of classes, stressing about getting lost on the way to the airport, the layover and stomach ache in Atlanta, and planning for the next trip —- I am HOME!
there’s much more to say, and I hate to be brief, but it’s good to be back. Amanda promised us dinner and [...]

RIP Mister Wizard

In: Everyday

I remember sitting in my grandparents’ house, on the floor, juice in one hand and a PB&J in the other, watching him perform magic with science.

SOMEONE RENT TO ME!
There… I feel better now.
Our landlord showed the house last night. It was a surprisingly painless experience, except that she doesn’t know about Voodoo so we were trying to get the cats to hide. You know canned air? Yes, perfect Kitty pisser-offer. They didn’t come out of their hiding spots for a [...]

My aching bones

In: Everyday, Links, Portland stuff

The trauma with my hands continues. I went to the doc and they told me that I have bone pain. No shit! I just paid someone money to tell me something I already knew? Lovely. Next, a hand doc. The bad thing is that I lose my insurance next week. Wonder if I can bang [...]

Battlestar Gallactica to End

Holy frackin shit!

32 Days and Counting

In: Everyday, Portland stuff

I have this nifty little counter on my iGoogle, so now I can freak myself out daily. Time, it flies so swiftly and drags painfully.
And I can’t count. Apparently I thougth that we had 5 weeks left. I really should brush up on my addition and subtraction. That whole math thing gives me a bloody [...]
