Don't live the American dream. Live your dream.

Just thinking

  • 9/4

    Well…   I’m really not too sure how to feel right now. This morning, little sister told me around 6am  (the time is worthy of note because she is – not – a morning person) that she going to move to a place that’s just a little over an hour away. Her job offered her a Read more

  • 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

  • 8/28

    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

  • 8/26

    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

  • Notre Dame – Our Lady of Pieces

    A couple of lifetimes ago, I had the privilege of visiting Europe on a two-week tour.   It was the summer after my high school junior year.  This was just a year before I knew I was going to become part cyborg.  I was a different me and it was a different time. I worked in Read more

  • Throat punched at Marengo Cave

    How’s that for a clickbait title?   =) I wasn’t throat punched at the cave.  As far as I remember, I’ve never been throat punched, thank goodness, but at times it has felt like it and left a hurtful dull bruise that lasts… well, it lasts for a really long time. Backtracking a little… I can’t 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

  • 8/16

    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
