So, a couple of weeks ago, when Twitter was making me lose my will to live, I bought a fairly heinous and possibly offensive protest shirt because dude. I was a seething ball of inarticulate rage, and if something violently pink that equates the current administration with one of the worst American disasters of all… Read More

 Okay– so yes, pictures taken during a concert aren’t always the best. The red blob is K-Flay doing “Blood in the Cut”, and if you haven’t heard this song… Well, it makes me think of Chase in Shadow. Really dark–really painful. I’ll be honest, I’m not sure I can write a book like that again,… Read More

So, Mate got home last night! Huzzah! And he had excellent stories to tell! And he was going to take all day today off to sleep, and we were going to go out to lunch and it was going to be glorious. Except I sat down to watch television with him and slept for two… Read More

So, I pick ZoomBoy up from school and the conversation goes like this: Me: So, ZoomBoy, how was school? ZB: It was okay–we didn’t have PE. Me: Why not? ZB: Because we had career day. The classes were cut short. Me: That was exciting. ZB: Yeah, sure. Okay–the end. Now, we took ZB’s cat, Dewey,… Read More

My day was way more boring than it had to be. Last time we had the car serviced, I said, “Hey–the battery died after I played music in the car for twenty minutes” And the woman told me, “Well, you’re not supposed to do that. Batteries die.” And I just gaped at her, because if… Read More

Busy weekend! Chicken’s birthday was today, but we had a family dinner at Wong’s which is sort of tradition. I surprised Chicken with clothes and pie, but her real present was concert tickets, and she texted me from the event and it sounded like she had fun. Anyway– we had to do the dinner on… Read More
