  • Inside an anorexic mind – part 1

    I’ve been out of the House for about three years now. I think it’s for three years.    It’s however long Jason has been employed at the Revenue. Despite the years, the fact that I’m self-consciously overweight, and am on medication, I don’t consider myself ‘cured.’  I probably never will — as evidenced by the… Read more

  • Digitally Paranoid

    I’m pretty sure I’m becoming paranoid by things that bleep and bloop. For example, I play Wizards Unite. The player info page is mocked up to look like some sort of passport.   That’s nice and a bit creative.  In the upper left, there’s a place to set a picture — preferably one of the player… Read more

    I pick up everything.   Ask anyone. Seashells.  Painted rocks.  Pens.   A cross bone scarf.  Just whatever I find laying around during my walks. Well, today I found something a little unique.   It was a composition notebook.   Green diamond cover.  College ruled — because college ruled is the way to go.  On the inside cover, there’s… Read more

    Odd day. I woke up this morning with every intention of chasing doxy (I need 29 more) and going to the gym. I was going to leave at 5am and knew, somehow, that I’d make my doxy quota because a new event is starting tomorrow.   It’ll be near impossible to farm them for a week. … Read more

  • Celebrity …. miscommunication

    If you’re keeping up with me at all, you probably have the correct feeling that I don’t place a whole lot of faith in the media, social media, uncredited sources, non-authority figures, or even authority figures. Yep.  I pretty much live under the assumption that everyone is lying, miscommunicating (willfully or otherwise), don’t care enough… Read more

  • Example of Hypocrisy

    Hypocrisy is a big word as takes four syllables.   I think that’s four hy-poc-ri-sy… Yep…  four and I think it’s a word we’ve kind have lost or warped the meaning. We all subscribe to it to some degree. It’s like leaving a generous tip at a pricy restaurant and ignoring the panhandler outside. It’s like… Read more

  • Meet Nuisance

    Jason and I kind of have a history with Nuisance. We returned home one night and saw a crying shadow in mom’s animal trap.  I was a bit surprised.  We knew it was out there, but it played with the trap and mom’s nerves.   It would play on top of the trap.   It would play… Read more

    Sixth day in a row….  Yay! See, this is the kind of life I’d like.   I spend part of the day exercising or doing whatever.    The other part is writing about stuff and faffing around.    In this case, watching a couple of episodes of Zero Punctuation.   Especially the writing part.    If I… Read more

  • 8/13

    My brother and I where innocently wasting time downtown. We were chasing the new spawns from Wizard Unite and working on our tasks.   We weren’t bothering anyone and just chatting amongst ourselves while looking for memos and monster books. We passed a corner that’s by Laurel’s when this pretty girl approached my baby brother.  She… Read more

    This is odd. It’s the last day of the term. My four students have submitted their final project and I’ve graded it.  Sure, there’s a couple of past-due assignments, but nothing major.  My inbox isn’t overflowing with sob stories or extension requests. I almost don’t know what to do.  It’s like the students actually have… Read more
