  • Vegetables aside (fruits, whatever)

    Once again, it’s been a while.  The world is happening and it’s all the awful things they swore to us as children would never, ever, not in a million years happen (again/ more than already).  I won’t list them.  There are too many and it hurts.  Things I’m trying to remember: I don’t need to

  • I made no promises!

    But I kind of did.  In my head.  You just didn’t know about it, because I didn’t tell you , because I wasn’t sure of what I could swing. This year’s been all kinds of bananas!  Whole bowls of fruit!  Personally speaking, it hasn’t been terrible.  It hasn’t been kind, but within the sphere of

  • In which there is not enough tea

    I know I swear up and down every time I will update more than once a year, and I’m inclined to do it again, but we all know the probability.  I won’t say.  Please don’t you say it, either. A lot of things are happening in the world, as things do, but it’s like they’re

  • From a hotel, with love

    I finished things!  I FINISHED THINGS!  It’s been so uncommon for me to actually bring a story to an end in the last– well, you can look back at the posts.  I’m belatedly going a little bit into shock over this.  They’ve been done for a few days now.  Everything has been so bananas, though.  Whole

  • Stuck, floundering– I wrote a tiny thing

    So it’s been a while. (Apparently, yes, all my blog posts will start this way now.)  The wordpress swears it’s been 9 months.  I could have grown a baby in that time.  I did not.  There is not a baby.  Except I wrote something that is longer than a line for the first time in a while.

  • All Hallow’s Read Fail

    Well, between spending over half of October asleep thanks to all the medication they had me on for freaking kidney stones and getting a second job, I found myself scrambling this last week to get my All Hallow’s Read stories done in time. Yes, I should have been more diligent through out the year, so

  • In which my brain is a jerk. It happens.

    I’ve been neglecting the blog again. (Are all my blog posts going to start like this from now on?) I’ve been neglecting writing in general. I’ve been neglecting everything, maybe. Being sick (nothing serious, probably just a bug), especially when you’re not sure what did it, apparently makes me disgustingly introspective. James brought me chicken

  • Women Who are Ambivalent about Women Against Women Against Feminism

    I love this woman immensely. She makes me feel like I’ve been writing with crayons hoping no one will notice I’m barely scratching at full ideas. The Bloggess So…yeah.  Right now there’s a lot of talk about a tumblr called WomenAgainstFeminism.  It’s just pictures of some women holding up handwritten signs entitled “I don’t need

  • Not Everyone Is Beautiful

    Originally posted on Mindless Productivity: Every two or three days, I see an article or blog post or forwarded inspirational quote about beauty. It’s usually something affirming like “You are beautiful, whether you know it or not.” “We are all beautiful.” “Everyone is beautiful to somebody.” It’s cheerful stuff. It builds the self-esteem, makes people…

  • A pulse! Evidence of life!

    I’m not!  I’m not ignoring my blog again!  Not for another year!  Things have simply been a bit unorganized with my husband and me taking turns to be sick and then holidays and so on.  I have a bit more of Beasts, but I don’t have it quite to a point where I feel alright
