Sometimes it's the little things, you know? A new crack in your laptop case. The ice-cream scoop breaking apart as you're scraping up a spoonful. Your phone rebooting (or not booting) all on its own. Or maybe a giant hole in the thigh of your favorite tights. Yeah. My favorite tights are wrecked. Don't get … Continue reading everything breaks…
and you should always listen to your mother… at least for several years until you actually know better yourself… maybe…
Twenty or so years ago my parents went on a trip to New Orleans. I think my dad was working. He traveled a lot back then so we all learned to make the best of it. Every once in a while the "best of it" meant a little vacation tacked onto his business travels. It … Continue reading and you should always listen to your mother… at least for several years until you actually know better yourself… maybe…

hair today… a rant on tangled
I've made no secret of my feelings for the movies di$ney puts out for kids. I love the fun of it. That you can get lost in their animation, songs and characters is a good thing. They managed to hook you. Pull you into the story and make you care about the characters. You're not … Continue reading hair today… a rant on tangled
lifesaver -or- consumer whore cami loves her leatherman…
Roughly 15 years ago my roommate at the time, Dave, got a brand new Leatherman multi-tool. It was fancy. I'm not sure, but I think he wasn't happy with the old basic model he had knowing that the company had moved on to bigger and better things. I think it was a sign of geek … Continue reading lifesaver -or- consumer whore cami loves her leatherman…
but I don’t wanna…
I have a problem you guys. I've been aware of it for a while but fairly unwilling to admit it. At first I couldn't even admit it to myself. It didn't even occur to me to admit it to myself. And then when it did occur to me I was horrified. Mortified. In a state … Continue reading but I don’t wanna…
drip drip drop…
The forecast of my childhood was mostly sunny. There was wind. And fog. And for the brief years I lived in Texas there were biblical storms, snakes falling from the sky, rain falling upward and thunder and lightening the likes of which I've not experienced since. The rain in Texas always stayed with me. Most … Continue reading drip drip drop…
memory embraced…
Sometimes there's a moment in your memory that stops everything. A recalled scent makes you hungry. A comforting sound makes you wistful. A chill reminds you of a misty morning. A sentence turns over in your mind. A remembered shadow on the wall makes you tremble. As much as I'd like to live in the … Continue reading memory embraced…
a sister I never had…
"It was the best of times, it was the worst of times." Yep. It's true. True of every moment that this world goes round. For someone it's the very best day, the very best moment of their life. For someone else it's the worst, the beginning or the end. It's a package deal the ups … Continue reading a sister I never had…
sound bite…
The world outside my window is full of life. Life that I'm thoroughly disconnected from. Living in the city you hear the ins and outs of the daily lives of all manner of man and beast. From the frantic scurrying of the urban squirrels along the ground, in the tress or balanced precariously on the … Continue reading sound bite…
