and what happened then?
Tuesday 14 December 2010 | 6 cookies in the jar
And then I graduated, and then I asked him to, so the Brujo told me something, and then I moved out temporarily, and then he moved out permanently, and then I moved permanently too, and then a bunch of talking happened, although not nearly as much as you might expect, and then the Brujo broke [...]

birthday, with utterly meaningless german horoscope
Tuesday 30 March 2010 | 3 cookies in the jar
Holiday! *** Happy birthday! Today the Sun returns to the position it was in when you were born. As would seem appropriate with this transit, today is a day of new beginnings, and the influences you feel today will affect the entire year to come. However, this does not mean that the whole year will [...]

owing to hurt feelings and big fight and yelling and tear-rain-shower and parting of clouds and pale but optimistic gleaming of sunlight with el Brujo. Followed by Vietnamese food and three more ibuprofen. So instead I leave you with this image, which is a bumpersticker I have optimistically purchased to go on my new car, [...]
sprung broke
Monday 22 March 2010 | 3 cookies in the jar
Monday morning, library, bleary. Post-spring-break. Menstrual, three ibuprofen in pocket, waiting for Café Biblioteca to open so I can go get milky half-chai to fuel the teaching part of the day. Painkiller makes overpowered with sleepy. Hungover from: nine days of cheerfully pretending I don’t have thesis and 80+ papers ungraded: hungover from: great natural [...]

Wednesday 3 March 2010 | 2 cookies in the jar
Which may edge out “Woman, Trapped, Survives on Moisture” as best headline ever. This via Mandarin—a little human-interest story that made my MONTH. Three THOUSAND years. Holy holy-flower, that’s…that’s rare, is what that is. Kind of like me posts. For simple reasons, some previously given, some new: 1) weekend head cold that has slyly shifted [...]

“nobody goes there anymore; it’s too crowded.”
Saturday 20 February 2010 | I like a cookie
[The Brujo always says this but I think he's quoting Yogi Berra.] Well, now that I’ve succeeded in running everyone off, of course it’s Saturday and raining and I’m hemmed about and pent in by admin/teaching work I don’t want to do, none of the tasks are so big and awful in themselves but it’s [...]

the good news & the bad news
Sunday 14 February 2010 | I like a cookie
The good news is, hey, happy Valentine’s day! And it’s sunny here! The bad news is, somehow I can still manage to feel self-pitying. Following is a brief extract from an email to beloved MFA Skool colleague Raeface, in which I bemoan my sorry white-girl lot. The good news is…I have a new MacBook Pro! [...]

fuck it

I mean, everyone else is doing it, so why not me? Does that mean we’ve finally succeeded in killing Faceborg? So much of me wants to walk away from this crusty rusty disgusting ancient thing, and hook up with my shiny new URL, and hide from those of you whom I don’t want to know [...]
funny valentine
Saturday 14 February 2009 | 2 cookies in the jar
I want somebody who sees the pointlessness and still keeps their purpose in mind I want somebody who has a tortured soul (some of the time) I want somebody who will either put out for me or put me out of misery or maybe just put it all to words that make me go you [...]

1. None of these will be in any particular order, so you can just park that linear, sequential part of your brain for the time being. Keep calm and carry on! 2. It turns out that Valium, when cautiously abused as a muscle relaxant, is really great for back spasms. Holy BENZO is it great. [...]
