I’ll admit that I’ve been binge eating cereal for the past two or three days. For those who are catching up, binge eating for me is about a gallon of milk and family (or giant) box(es) of cereal that mysteriously vanish in under 24h. I’m not ashamed… okay, so maybe I’m a little (lot) ashamed of it, but it’s Read more

This term I’m a co-teacher. Okay, this is no big deal. I’ve been a co-teacher before for this particular college. What it’s supposed to amount to is a third of the pay at half of the work. The theory is that, since this is a beginning class of new online learners, that two teachers is Read more

Okay, so going to the grocery store isn’t a big deal for most people. If anything, given the way the online trend is going, grocery stores are a bit of a hassle. In a generation or so, we’ll simply have everything auto-shipped from Amazon. Or, possibly, everything will be pre-ordered and be delivered drive-thru window Read more

My life in song: — The lyrical version… — When mom and dad worked all the time my theme song was “Bad to the Bone” followed closely by “Free Bird.” Elementary/middle school – when I was being bulled and had no problems being mean right back my song was “Veteran of Psychic Wars” by Blue Read more

Back to gluttony… binging… yep. I did on left over turkey. I didn’t eat it all, as there is a partial leg left, but everything else in the container mysteriously disappeared down my gullet during the evening and night- as well as a good portion of my favorite Apple Butter BBQ – don’t knock it Read more

I’m really not to sure how long it’s been since I was released from the House. Two months? Three? I guess it doesn’t matter – the whole situation seems surreal now. It feels like it was a vague dream that has uncomfortable real life reminders. I suppose its like dreaming of getting drunk and waking Read more

Gluttony is when you crave something so much that it’s unhealthy, unnatural and immoral. It’s when your brain says “that’s enough,” but you reach for the ice cream anyway, without hesitation, and without will. It’s when you verbally beat an opponent, feel sorry that they’re so pathetic, but still continue with the attack for no Read more

There’s certain songs that resonate with people, I think. Even if music is a foreign to the person… there’s always something. Some tune, some lyric, that resounds in the mind during times of trouble or distress. Maybe it’s like the way a cat purrs when it’s injured. The purring helps comfort the cat. Maybe the songs help comfort us. What type Read more

Phone conversations are not my favorite. Texting, writing, e-mails – sure. I can write thoughts and feelings down, edit for clarity, and feel completely embarrassed that there are words I still cannot spell – but Spell Check can. Speaking is an uncouth cousin by comparison. Once a word is said, it’s cannot be undone. It Read more
