Deadline Inspiration

(or I Never Meta Muse I Didn’t Like) Nothing inspires you more than a deadline, but not a self-imposed, arbitrary, it-doesn’t-really-matter kind of deadline. It doesn’t really count unless there are some consequences. You don’t spend all night cramming if

I’m My Own Worst Enemy

(or My Inner Dialogue Part Five) “So I was going to talk to myself today but apparently I did something to really piss myself off. I’m not sure what it was, but it must have been bad.” [silence] “Yessiree. I

Digging in the Dirt

After she died, I found some books in my great aunt’s attic. Among them were her diaries. May 6th, 1972 Dear Diary, I’m so glad that spring has arrived. I can finally get out and work on my garden. It

Let’s Talk About It

(or Life’s Too Short To Deal With All Your Problems) Please don’t take anything I say too seriously. I may write something and then change my mind the next day. Or the next minute. I’m like that. I’m a flibbertigibbet.

Modern Etiquette for the Socially Challenged Part One

(or What’s Behind Door Number One?) Is it just me or are people getting more rude? Now I’m not talking about you garden variety pedants who correct your grammar or the guy at the back of the line who jumps

The End of the Universe

(or My Inner Dialogue Part Four) “So I’m talking to myself and…” “Whoa! Let me stop you right there.” “Uh…what’s going on?” “You’re going on that’s what’s going on.” “What do you mean?” “This is the part where you make

I Need To Get Out More (or Been There; Done That)

So, I’m not what you’d call a seasoned traveler. In fact I haven’t been anywhere for a while. My passport expired about the same time as Kurt Cobain did. (What? Too soon?) It certainly wasn’t from a lack of desire.

Where Does the Time Go? (or Pause, Rewind, Replay)

I’ve just realized it’s been a week since I posted something. Sometimes I just can’t believe how fast the hours and days go by. And before you ask – no, this is not a self-indulgent, my life is so amazing,
