I’m having a terrible time resolving a central issue about Bitter Moon II that I thought I had resolved when I was writing the damned thing. It’s SOOOOOO frustrating–because every time I ponder it, it makes me cry, and then I resolve it, and I cry some more, and then I think about changing it… Read More

Happy Birthday to me… mostly, it really has been. Lots of virtual good wishes, lots of good will–even the students saw my “Happy Birthday Amy Lane” post on the board and said nice things. (I even actually wrote ‘Amy Lane’–and they all knew who that was:-) I’ve been a little tired and a little, ’41…. Read More

Thanks, Knit-tech!!! Your result for The What type of MAN turns you on Test… Classic scorcher You have picked my personal favorite type of man. Yes, man, not boy. The all-American and then some.

OKay, honestly? I have nothing to talk about on the above mentioned topic, but I sat down to type and that’s what they were saying on Spongebob–it MUST be appropo of something.

Cory:Back off! The man-gods are mine! by teronangel Design Custom T-Shirts At zazzle.com It’s not actually the one I’m wearing this weekend–it’s more like the ‘new and improved version’. But it’s still lame. And it’s still mine:-) (And there should be a back to it, as well:-) ***edited to add–if you click the link, you… Read More

*Long day, filled with snot, naps, soccer and shopping. Everybody now has long pants/sleeve shirts for what passes for winter in the valley. This is good, because we have no money left, and I hear cotton is edible. Seriously–the clerk rang up the receipt and I said, straightfaced, ‘Well that took care of my little… Read More

Okay– I’ll be honest. I’m a little tired, a little sick, and talking about my day doesn’t appeal to me-my kid’s babysitter moved to bumfuck mongolia so my commute time just got longer, I lost my make-up and I had two zits on my face that were the reason cover up was invented, and dammit,… Read More
