9 Counts of Assault in the First Degree with a Neck Pillow

Tonight at work, a coworker went to empty the lavatory on one of our planes. He hooked up the hose, gave it a good tug, flipped the switch, and jumped back in case the tug hadn't been enough to expose a hidden weakness in the connection. Then, something strange happened... Read Full Post »

fuck you and your untouchable face

Once, I when was painting my living room, I tried to spray off the paint roller I was holding with the hose on full blast -- not thinking about the consequences until the split second before the sidewalk, the side of my house, my bushes, and I got covered in bright red paint. I laughed so hard, I cried. Then I had one hell of a mess to clean up.

bicycles & birthdays

My birthday is on Thursday.

Tuesday, I'm going to San Francisco with my mom to eat Indian food at my favorite place for lunch and pick up some more Tung Ting oolong tea from Red Blossom. Wednesday, I'm going out for Ethiopian with my friends on our quest to find the best local Ethiopian restaurant and Thursday, I'm going for a long ride with a friend from work on his motorcycle. The weather has been be...

Having a 'crush' is an accurate term for the experience.  Don't you think?

I'm enjoying the rollercoaster ride of being human.  Maybe 'enjoying' isn't the right word.  But wh... Read Full Post »

championships & cider & campfires

First thing's first.

I was the winner of last week's Etsy Challenge for the photography section with my photo, Upward Spiral, and am now in the weekly winners championship or something equally as prestigious-sounding.  In short, I'm competing against the winners of all of the sections last week.  Read Full Post »

sesamoids & suburbia & serendipity & sperm

Posted at 03:54 AM on August 28, 2008 Comments comments (1)
I hate writing blogs -- especially ones like this because everything that has happened since I last wrote is so closely tied into...itself, really...that it's not suited to a linear medium such as this.  I'd like to just barf it onto the screen and let you sort through it.  But the more I keep stalling, the bigger this spinning ball of intertwined events becomes, making the likelihood of another update smaller and smaller.

pride & predjudice

Posted at 04:38 AM on July 12, 2008 Comments comments (1)
Today, the Universe stopped waiting on me to do what I've known I needed to do for months and went ahead and did it for me.  It's a good thing.  It's just hard to see that right now.  My pride is hurt.  I should have been the one to make that decision.

Why is it that, no matter how loudly that little voice in the back of my head screams at me that something isn't right, I give other people the benefit of the doubt at my ... Read Full Post »

I need to take photos of all my completed items.  I know this.  And yet, it never happens.

I have a collaborative project underway with tapebubba.  It's exciting, and I hope it's t... Read Full Post »

Exhausted.

I like being exhausted. Only once or twice a year do I get tired enough to feel like, if I relaxed completely, I would turn into a happy, warm, fuzzy little puddle.

Don't get me wrong -- I'm pretty much always sleepy, groggy, or tired to a certain degree, but not the kind where it feels good. I think if I went to bed, I'd be out in seconds. But then I'd be awake at 4 in the morning. And while that's comm... Read Full Post »

ages & idols

Posted at 05:52 PM on April 12, 2008 Comments comments (0)

I'm not sure how I got roped into watching American Idol this season. Usually, I watch until auditions are over and then get bored. This year is no exception, but I'm watching it anyway. I blame the writers' strike.

A couple weeks ago, I was watching an episode where they sang songs that came out the year they were born. Each contestant talked about the year they were born with their age displayed underneath their name as they spoke. I, at the ripe old ag...

Welcome to my first functional website!  After years of trying to work with others to get something set up but never quite making it, a friend recommended this DIY site to me.  A few minutes later, I was registered and ready to start making my site!

Please be patient while I get everything set up; I'm clueless in the technical department and begrudging in the trying-to-sell-myself-in-a-blurb department.  So in the meantime, f... Read Full Post »

tung ting & tazers & TMI

Posted at 04:59 AM on March 20, 2008 Comments comments (0)

This evening was peaceful. I went to yoga and walked out after class just in time to see the sunset. I’ve been focusing on chest opening poses because it really helps my back and my overall mood. I’m much more motivated when I don’t feel like I’m being tazered.

The weather today was beautiful. I left to go to yoga in layers and quickly peeled those off. The breeze was just cool enough to keep my skin entertained, and it’s great being...

treasuries & travesties

Posted at 05:05 AM on March 09, 2008 Comments comments (0)

At the end of yoga class, we lie in savasana, or 'corpse pose' -- laid out all pretty with our palms turned up and our legs neatly turned out.  Well, not my legs.  One of them sits perfect and pretty while the other one flops messily out to the side like a frog leg.  No amount of willing it straight or trying to rotate my hips to align it correctly have made it s...

sunsets & saints & guts & guile

As all two of my readers have probably noticed, I’ve been making some drastic changes to my page here.  I did all this because 1) I needed an image overhaul.  I wasn’t happy with what I started with and didn’t like the new ideas I was trying on.  You may have noticed I’ve changed things around quite a bit on here as well, and 2) I’m goi...

I've been told that, if I want a successful business, I need to start a blog.

I really hate blogging, and I hate the word 'blog'.  It makes me feel dirty -- like I just vomited something without heaving first, and now I'm left standing there in shock, my cheeks bulging out, wondering if I should spit it into the mug on the desk or in my purse or just swallow it, too surprised by it all to remember that the toilet is also an option.

A couple of...
