2009 01 27 (oh my god, i can’t believe it, i’ve never been this far away from home)

i have been listening to the same song all day. at one point there was an hour or so where it was the only song i listened to. that was the hour when i was cleaning the bathroom, i think.
i’ve sort of given up cleaning the rest of everything. i just want my dad to [...]

2008 11 04 (victims. aren’t we all.)

there’s nothing for me to do at work, so this afternoon i did some proofreading and then walked around the neighborhood. jo and i hit up a chinese place around the corner for supper, the greek place for hummus for dessert, and the walgreens for diet coke and twizzlers. this is a balanced diet.
jozelle had [...]

2008 10 06 (they will stop at nothing once they know what you are worth.)

i wanted to take a picture of the sunrise this morning, but i was thwarted: my apartment faces north/south, so sitting on my front porch, this was the view, right before sunrise. six-something in the morning.

2008 09 01 (that’s all that i need right now)

jozelle is knitting a bag out of yarn that is mardi gras colored. this is the bottom of the bag. she is trying to make it really big so that even once it’s felted, it’s big.
ate toast with tammie’s homemade jam for breakfast, potato salad for lunch, and a bagel for supper. paid the [...]

2008 06 10 (guess it’s all meant to be, for love to cause me misery.)

this has been kind of an amazing week. there’s a long list of cool things that have happened. one thing that happened is that a book deal is in the works. it is far from being a definite thing, but it exists, and that’s exciting — but also causing me a lot of anxiety. it [...]

2008 05 12 (whoa.)

when i went looking for breakfast this morning, i realized that my fridge had a tube of cilantro (don’t ask) and some leftover pizza, two bottles of boone’s farm, salad dressing, ketchup, and some jam. that’s it. so i took off to the grocery store.
normally i go to the one that is right around [...]

this is chris and someone’s child. chris invited me to a lunch that he and some people do once a month, & i totally broke pattern to go. st louis is the city of breaking patterns, of changing what i do to match up better with who i really am. i swear, i really [...]

tonight annie and i went to see van halen at some big arena. we were in row F — which, contrary to what it looks like in this crappy camera phone picture, was pretty fucking close to the stage. especially for an arena show. my suggestion to the world: always get press tickets. wow.
david lee [...]

first we were delayed because of the weather. then we got on the plane. then there was more weather. then there was mechanical issues. then they made us get off the plane and get on another plane. seriously, idek. at least i had my ipod, all loaded up with cobra starship.

this is a picture of the venue i was at tonight with annie. you can’t really see anything in the picture, b/c the lighting was super bad. oh well.
i was going to talk about how awesome the show tonight was — think of drill meets oasis meets mazzy star, which, honestly, yeah, is basically tailor [...]
