On Chocolate Tunafish and Toxic Lemonade…

on June 4, 2007

Hmmm… various things to talk about today… and about five minutes before I face plant into the laptop and fall asleep… (living a life of QWERTY, definitely…) so I guess I’m just going to have to random my way through it… Okay…about the title… I finished the TA’s fingerless mitts…and if the camera hadn’t run… Read More


A refreshing change from the eruption…

on June 2, 2007

Your Brain is Purple Of all the brain types, yours is the most idealistic. You tend to think wild, amazing thoughts. Your dreams and fantasies are intense.Your thoughts are creative, inventive, and without boundaries. You tend to spend a lot of time thinking of fictional people and places – or a very different life for… Read More


Greetings from Mt. St. Vitriol

on June 2, 2007

*Note–the following “Thank You’s” are ironic “Thank You’s” and are in no way to be misconstrued for the real thing, which is what I offer all of you who bear with my terrible ranting. Thank you–seriously–I mean that one. Now, on to the rant… As you all know, this year has been the most hellific,… Read More


A Moment of Zen…

on May 31, 2007

I was going to go off on this post–seriously, just let’er rip about work, about California education, about Kaiser, about everything…I was going to be a Mount St. Vitriol and just erupt, spewing venomous words into the ether with Zeussian impunity and I still might do that–seriously–I’m still pissed off, I’m still feeling better, which… Read More


No news is…

on May 29, 2007

No news, mostly… Okay, anybody out there think it should be criminal mal-practice for a doctor to mention the words “malignancy” and “colonoscopy” in the same visit, take blood, and then, hello NOT CALL FOR EIGHT DAYS? It’s just a thought, really…I mean, it’s not like I have anything to lose or anything… oh…wait…maybe I… Read More


*ahem* And props go out to…

on May 28, 2007

Okay…first of all, if you didn’t get to it before, my last post was sort of fun (if you happen to be in love with yourself, as we all know I am…) so don’t just blow it off because I’m on to something else… And second of all? SQUUUUUEUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Why are we hyperventilating and dropping… Read More


Carry On Your Wayward Son…

on May 26, 2007

OKay, so music is important to me–always has been, always will. I remember when my (biological) mom sang “You are my sunshine” to me when I was little and I cried–it’s a sad song. I remember the first time I heard “Puff the Magic Dragon” (also tears) and I remember the six-hundred times I listened… Read More


No… really?

on May 25, 2007

Okay…I admit it. I have three calendars in my room and I never know the date. I never read my calendar e-mails and I seem to have a phobia about time, watches and clocks too… So imagine my surprise when I was talking to one of my most beloved/frustrating administrators of all time, (he’s frustrating… Read More


Take a Walk…

on May 24, 2007

Okay, Roxie has this lovely picture posted of a most ‘prosperous’ kitty cat that totally cracked me up– and I was thinking that I missed my cats. No, not really my cats, just the cats I see on my daily walks–the ones I haven’t been taking. There’s this one cat–he’s all black, and all furry… Read More


Angsty…

on May 22, 2007

Okay… health still bad, doc still puzzled, only now they’re throwing out scary words like ‘malignancy’ and ‘colonoscopy’ and I’m trying to keep my cool even as I keep you posted. That being said, I’m going on to some random stuff that has made me happy in the last couple of days… *** I got… Read More
