  • Awards and Shit

    I received a prestigious award (some sort of Lovely Blogger thing) from Bindo, who is my male poetic twin. We wallow together and that takes effort. I don’t like the word “lovely” in this case. I shall rename my awards as Motherfucking Good Blog Awards. Bryan Borland. Friend and Pseudo-Foe. His words are possibly the love…

  • Good Reads

    Suggested readings. • Henry David Thoreau’s essay, “Walking.” It’s basically, let’s get closer to nature. He uses humor in the most effective way. You can get it in book form, which combines Ralph Waldo Emerson’s Nature. Both of these can probably be found on the internet for free. Not so much in love with Emerson.…

  • Update on the Update of Motherhood.

    I am now a mother!!!!!!!!!!!! Poppy and I are getting along famously in our 24-hour relationship. She is an older dog, at four, but she’s everything I wanted in a dog. She doesn’t understand stairs and it takes about 40 minutes of walking for her to poo (even after 30 minutes in the crate after…

  • An Update on Motherhood.

    I’m sad to say I will not be adopting Ro. The foster family said she needed a companion dog. Forget that I would provide her with a permanent home, instead of a halfway house. Apparently at this particular Humane Society, the fosters get the final say and not the organization. The HS apologized to me…

  • Rain Aplenty

    The seven-day forecast is gloom. A happy time for me even if the pressure makes my head hurt. There’s always rain aplenty if you look hard enough. I do. Note: I may or may not be finished with this. I’m not sure if I want to do anymore or if this is just some thought…

  • Reads

    Reading oddbits as opposed to tidbits or odds and ends.  Blackwater: the Rise of the World’s Most Powerful Mercenary Army by Jeremy Scahill is a good one. It is critical of certain right-wing issues/figures but I felt the author’s questions were valid. It throws SOOOO much light on what exactly the “reconstruction” of Iraq meant…I…

  • Get It Right, Girl (or Boy): A Little Ditty with 1writegirl

    In my continuing James Lipton-channeling interviews with fellow bloggers, I’ve had the pleasure of picking 1writegirl’s mind in typical ML seriousness/silliness. Be prepared to laugh and think, dear reader. Enjoy…and I know you will. 1. I’ve heard people say that they can’t write because they haven’t had anything terrible happen to them…or at least nothing…

  • Spasm

    My ear has been gurgling for a few days. Making internal sounds that sound like choking and feel like muscle spasms. The choking I get, the Eustachian tubes being cock-blocked, or blocked in any case. The spasms confuse me. There are no muscles. Can tubes quiver? There’s no pain (yet) just an itch that would…

  • Beneath the Bark: The Rooting of Uncle Tree

    Over the course of the last two weeks or so, I have had the pleasure of being involved in a fantastic discussion about writing and living well. As interviews go, this one offers insight and sincerity, and I hope you, dear reader, appreciate the self-depricating wisdom of our very own Uncle Tree. #1. What made…
