Hey y’alls. The sun is lowering in the sky, it is 3:43 in the afternoon. Cool, warm sunshine. Nothing looks like this time of year. And, of course, I have my motherfucking decorative gourd collection sitting on the kitchen table, no wicker fucker this time, tho. Not sure that I have one or really, what [...]

My brain hurt like a warehouse, it had no room to spare

Tomorrow husband goes back to work after a week at home with his family. There was much packed into last week. A road trip to North Carolina and back, an out of town guest, two nights grilling meats and veggies in the back yard — what Marylander’s call a “cook-out”. A few meltdowns, but more [...]

Today’s thoughts are produced in the basement of our little row house, Baltimore City, Wyman Park. I am tasked with washing an unbelievable amount of laundry and one of the side-jobs of doing laundry in our house is to monitor the occasional and devastating overflow of the slop sink which the laundry water drains into. [...]

I have a bad feeling that Beenie just won’t sleep. Who can blame her? It has been almost ninety degrees in her and Mimi’s room, but the heat doesn’t bother Mimi so much. She had a winter hat on when I walked into the inferno that was their room the other day. Pulled it off [...]

Got notification of yet another arts grant I did not get. This one wasn’t a big one, but a local Baltimore City grant for individual artists. I believe it is the last of the grants I applied for last year. Oh well. Back to the drawing board, as they say. Time to start researching grants [...]
Spring 2009 in da house!

Yeah! That’s right, sunshine, showers, all of it. Bring on the huge pollen spores making my three week headache and impossible inhalation possible. I’ll take it. The gigantic tree in front of our house has little pre-burst nubs on it, ready to explode in fluffy pink crepe papier clusters any minute. Requests to go to [...]
Christmas 2008

I must say that after at least twenty years of hating with the venom of a large poisonous spider, Christmas, and everything having to do with it, I might be done. Done with the hate. You know why? Because it is no longer my job to hate a day of the year. Apparently it was [...]
Hot off the presses… Camera Morte!

That’s right, folks. The first (and only, so far) printed version of Camera Morte: Neighborhood Apocalypse, © J. Goodwin 2008, arrived this afternoon at my doorstep. I am very excited, as you can well imagine, for a variety of reasons:
I completed a task. I started the project, completed the project, then uploaded it to the [...]

What’s a nice futon like you doing in a stinky diaper-joint like this?

Aaaaah. Lookee here! This evening I find myself on our little fold-out futon bed, which has relocated from the “computer area” of our house, also known as the “in-law suite” since the girls showed up almost two years ago. Moms and aunties from both sides of the family have stayed in this auspicious area of [...]
