Strawberry Freeze

The heat was broken at the usually warm and friendly Cyclops Books tonight, so those of use who went to the MWA Baltimore meeting to do a little writing did so with numb fingers, reading our work with voices thinned from the cold. Exercise #1 was to dig into a bag of paint color cards and [...]

Misbehaving Tuesday: Audio Edition

Around 3:45 today I was standing in my kitchen, trying to decide whether to go to a yoga class tonight. I knew I had been busy all day, but I did not feel like I had gotten anything done, and considered that maybe I should stay home and be productive. Then I looked at my [...]

Qu’est-ce que c’est?

For a long time, I thought of myself as a very outgoing introvert. I always did well at parties; if nothing else, I could pick out the other weirdo in the group and find some common ground, even if that common ground was grousing about the other people at the party. As much as I [...]

iPad, iPed, iPet

Bits and pieces for today. 1. At first I was completely underwhelmed by the iPad. Halfway through the press conference I was thinking that unless this thing sucks my toes and makes me cookies, it is just a big iPhone with more firepower and no phone. But, the more I see of it the more I [...]

Stillness

Today was day five of a seven day hot yoga marathon. There is no one good reason why I am doing this, other than feeling like I need a little detox, particularly before the crazy kicks off next week. I did this once before, sometime last year, and I don’t remember it having quite as [...]

Not To Put Too Fine A Point On It

They Might Be Giants’ Flood was one of those massively formative albums for me – silly, weird, accordion-centric, and out of the mainstream. I bought it on a bike trip to New Hope just before I turned fifteen, and twenty years later They are still my favorite band. (And I still have a massive crush [...]

Do It for Grammar

Voting on the smut closes at midnight tonight. Thanks to everyone who has voted in the past few days! I am still down by one vote, and it is to a story that contains bad grammar. So, please, go vote! If you’re not going to do it for me, do it for grammar: hot, sexy [...]

Miscellaneous Tuesday

After my mopey fork revelation on Saturday, I spent some time getting quiet about life. I had a few nights of dreams about backbends, smoking, and the number 380. I came to two decisions: 1. Sometimes, the truth sucks, but it is still ok. 2. I am ready for whatever is next: absolutely certain that things are [...]
