a rose by any other name would smell as sweet

on vacation

the people’s republic of lumps in my oatmeal

today might just have been the most perfect summer day in the entire world. i am not just saying that because it happened to me either. we went to the zoo. we looked at meerkats (and they didn’t sing “hakuna matata” like in the disney films). i petted a chincilla and a blue-tongued skink. not [...]

On the Anniversary of Your Death

Dear Alan, it’s five years now. Five years today, it’s the anniversary of your death. It’s been five years and the news of your death still overshadows the memories of your life. It bothers me that the memories that stick out the most in my mind are those of your death and not those of [...]

maybe it’s not so bad after all

so, we went to the mall of hell today and actually it wasn’t so bad. i have come to the conclusion that women who shop at the mall of hell are about the worst dressers on the face of the planet. really, they are not conscious of their bodies at all. even the big girls [...]

all wound up

my shoulders are in knots. i am coiled tight, a spring waiting to pop. my vacation could not come at a better time. my work ethic rating has slid into negative numbers. i don’t think i’ve done much of anything in the past week. but the launch went off with only a small hitch. yay! [...]
