Long about Saturday around 2 p.m. my sinuses decided to make a break for it. Since then I have spent every waking minute & some of the non-waking ones with a tiny, rabid wombat trying to escape my skull through my left eyeball. Or at least that’s what it feels like. It hurts and I …
Last week, like most everyone in my Twitter feed, I watched “Downton Abbey” when it was on at 8 p.m. Central Time. It was a dramatic, emotional episode and watching it with Twitter was all kinds of fun. In fact, there’s a lot of event TV I like to watch with Twitter — elections, award-shows, …
In “The Breakfast Club” Ally Sheedy has that famous line about how “when you grow up, your heart dies.” For a long time I worried that because rock & roll has become super boring in the past fiveish years that my heart, had in fact, died. Then I stumbled upon things like Wild Flag or …
Bah. I’ve had a bad day. Okay it probably hasn’t been so much bad as annoying and cranky-making. I don’t want to use the badge bad day on this kind of day. You have to save bad for a day worthy of it. Work and money anxiety paired with a stupid mistake made on a …

I was so happy to see them proclaiming such blasphemy out in the public sphere that I quickly jumped on the ZZZZzzzz bandwagon. I realized that sometimes, it’s a relief to admit that something insanely popular is just not for …
Whiny, bratty ranting ahead. You’ve been warned. If you continue reading this post I am not responsible for any exasperated sighs or eye strained caused by continued rolling. Got it? I’m having Ruby problems again. She refuses to start. She likes to make starting-like sounds but really that’s just teasing. There is no starting. My …
I’ve been having some server issues. It started a week or so ago when I was editing an older post, correcting some typo (oh yes, I correct them when I spot them. However, I do not (often) go back and fix the capitalization from the bonehead lowercase years). I was editing away and then poof! …
On New Year’s Eve as Sister #2 was discussing her goals for 2011 she said she wanted to create a writing schedule and stick to it. “I just want to write again,” I said. She looked at me a little puzzled. “I haven’t written anything since October.” Confessing felt good. Sure I’ve committed a few …
