I am a vampire. Not really, but I have very fair skin, and I don't like being out in the sun very long. If I were a vampire, I would not be a daywalker. I would not be Blade. I would be the ones in Blade II that have jaws like the predator but wear …
Dry July that was Not Dry
My sister came to visit over July 4 weekend. I drank every day. I don't normally, so it kind of sucked in that I was tired all the time and felt sticky. Don't judge; I'm sensitive. So I decided to go dry for the rest of July. I made it from July 5 to July …
Oceanside Placeholder
So I'm sitting at a cliffside resort in Maine, looking out across the Atlantic, and wondering how I ended up in a life like this. I'm also getting ready to try to do some writing, so I figured an update here is in order. I honestly have nothing clever or meaningful to say. I've been …
Poop Bags Received: the Update No One Wanted
So the post office finally delivered my long-awaited poop bags. Then Sir Waggington's emailed me to say my next subscription order - every two months - would be shipped on March 4. I had to skip it, because I just got the first one, and I'm up to my eyeballs in poop bags (which I …

Poop Bags in Limbo; Writing Moving Forward
I will not talk about the frequency of my blog posts in this blog post. Dammit, I did it anyway. Moving on. Two things are on my mind right now: 1) the Post Office and 2) my writing. Thing 1: Post Office, or How America is Still Climbing Uphill We all remember last year, the …
So Here’s the Thing…
I'm still not great about posting blogs regularly. I guess I don't care as much about blogging as I do about other things, like staring at the wall and wondering about the wrong turns I've taken over the years, or reorganizing my jeans, or cleaning things that nobody can see. Perhaps one day, I'll post …
First Post of 2021. Nailed It.
A lot has already been said about what happened last week, and I've given everything a lot of my thoughts and attention, and so I'm not going to churn out more crap about it here. Suffice it to say that the idiots who stormed the Capitol are fucking walnuts, and watching their "plot" fold in …
Bittersweet Sadness, and What Beck Found There
This won't be a long post. Not that many of my posts are the Spaceball One. It's been a hard year for everyone. It's almost over. I'll write more about that on New Year's Eve, I think, but I wanted to record this. Last night when I was walking my dog (she came to live …

I Gloomed, I Doomed, I Used the Clippers
It's almost Halloween, y'all, the Most Wonderful Time of the Year. I love Halloween. It jockeys for first position against Xmas as my favorite holiday, depending upon my mood. I do love Xmas. I love its pagan origins. I love Xmas trees and gifts and Xmas songs and the meaning of Xmas, which to me, …
Not-So-Freewrite
So a few months ago, I wrote a post about how I wanted a Freewrite, which is a ridiculous and overpriced device that I shouldn't want, but I do. Shortly after I wrote that post, my husband and several of my lovely friends got together and bought me one from the website presale. I was …
