Should Do and Are Doing are Often Two Different Things

Please Don't Flash the Octopus

I find my amusement where I can.   I feel like I have been a whiny sack of whine on here lately. I would pretend I haven’t been, but I kinda have been. Last week I was just not doing it. I don’t know what my issue is, but it just wasn’t happening. I would …

Either/Or

Rat playing the pipes

I’m going to apologize for being so heinously boring lately. Things have been all wacky like, but in a good way.  I’ve also come to understand I am far more interesting when I write angry blogs over happy blogs. I’m generally happy and too tired to brew up a healthy head of self-righteous steam. Look …

So… Tired….

Here’s the thing; my life is wonderful. My life is so wonderful I actually gross myself out with my happiness sometimes. I’ll take it. It’s been about a month since I have slept on a regular pattern, and at least several weeks when I did something more than nap. Writing and allergies have seriously whipped …

So, I’ve been busy working on my third draft of my novella, and I haven’t been sleeping much. Okay, I have been sleeping same amount as normal but in two hour segments. My days are beginning to blend together; normal writing frenzy stuff. I know I’m supposed to be pouring out my soul on these …

The Nature of Magic

I believe in magic. I don’t mean illusions or parlor tricks, or Harry Potter. I mean wonder. I live in a world of stories and images, real and imagined. My life is a collection of moments of intense emotion, good and bad. I have boring normal times, like everyone else. Actually, I bet I have …

Detox

interspecies cuddle

I have officially put myself on a politics detox. I haven’t read anything more than headlines. I don’t know what Clint Eastwood said to the chair. I read a quick blurb about Chuck Norris’s YouTube video, but only because it is freaking Chuck Norris. I refuse to watch it. I’m not discussing politics with anyone. …

DEFCON 3

Simpson capslock

I went EIGHT HOURS without the interwebz today. EIGHT HOURS Okay, honestly, it wasn’t that big of a deal. I think I went like 24 hours once. That was rough.  There was also that time we got a blizzard, we were without electricity for 7 days. I would go into the work at the library …

I Know How Alice Feels

Party hard

I am the strangest combination of deliriously happy with my life and angry as hell at society. I’ve done what any rational person would do while dealing with emotional confusion… I get on the internet and drown my emotions in  pictures of kittens. I found some strange and wonderful things. Most things were just strange. …

Um, Yeah, that Thing

Weinie dog jumping into a pool

The awesome women at Rock the Slut Vote link Thursday’s blog, and it got some attention.  I’m hoping because it resonated with people and not just because I sounded a little foam-y at the mouth angry. Oddly enough, I’ve gotten two conservative bloggers followers on Twitter. I don’t even know what that is about. So …
