When I think of that moment at take off when the wheels lift and the plane and all it's inhabitants are thrown from the earth, when I'm pressed back into my seat, I usually make a mental leap to moments later as I look out over the city we're flying away from. Whether I'm leaving … Continue reading plane post 2: cloud cover

cami kaos goes to a musical… again
There are things you know to be true about yourself once you reach a certain age. One of those things that I've learned about myself over the last 33 years is that I don't like musicals. Yeah. You heard me. I don't like them. That can put a girl in a difficult position from time … Continue reading cami kaos goes to a musical… again
used to
I used to post every day, come rain or shine, good days and bad. There was a time that I was incredibly committed to ensuring that something new was here every day. It wasn't a commitment to you. To the internets. To this blog. It was a commitment to me. To take some time, even … Continue reading used to
weathered
It was one of those moments where I couldn't be sure if this was a June storm or the coming apocalypse as I hung up the phone. My eyes trained on the edges of the window where the blinds block out the least light as I watched the sky fall dark. Night dark. Sun gone … Continue reading weathered
tattoos and gossip
I sat down to watch something last night on hulu but couldn't find anything I wanted to watch. Nothing. Maybe it was my mood. But I was in the mood for some television style distraction so I thought and I thought and I thought and my mind went back to the Henry Rollins spoken word … Continue reading tattoos and gossip

When she was in preschool all I could think was "Seriously, she's old enough to be in school yet she … Continue reading pack animal
in time
Years can be such slippery intangible things, as we slide from one to the next. Season to season. Walking through our lives noticing so little of what the last year has held and what the coming years will bring. Except hair wet with rain in Spring. Skin glistening with sweat in Summer. Crunching leaves beneath … Continue reading in time
where I make the laziest post ever…
I turned off my laptop before I remembered that I really honestly intended to write a post today. I had one all written up in my head but then I TOTALLY forgot it... That sucks. But you know, I wanted to post SOMETHING. But not just ANYTHING. But my laptop was shut down and god … Continue reading where I make the laziest post ever…
shh. I’m conferencing
Shhh. I'm at WebVisions 2010. Mostly I'm sitting in the audience or the green room being really quiet. You have to be really quite too. Why? Well because if you make too much noise then I'm going to giggle. You're sure to say something clever and then I'll giggle and disturb the panel that is … Continue reading shh. I’m conferencing
sun warmed
Calm, with little signs of life zipping back and forth and around and around. K chatting at me a million miles a minute. The breeze just brushing the bottoms of my bare feet as I kick them gently behind me, swishing them through the air. Swimming in slow motion while the cool green grass presses … Continue reading sun warmed
