I just mashed an ant climbing up my kitchen wall…

I am not sure what became of the past twelve days. About a week of it was spent believing that I was immediately to find a full-time job, in the alleged wake of hubbo losing his. Though he did not, it seems. Which is good, because that job, that darned job is all the money [...]

One Year

I have been writing this blog for one year today. This time last year, everyone was sick in my house, as it happens to also be this year, though I’m not so sick that I get to have my fave cough medicine. Oh well, be careful what you wish for, right? The girls’ have minute [...]

MILF’s, DILF’s, and everybody else.

I’m not actually going to write about MILF’s and DILF’s. I just want to feel the power of astronomical blog stats that only those two words can generate. I’m in it for the cheap thrill. It is all I have these days.

Paul Cézanne and Edgar Allen Poe share this day for a birthday. This morning was dark and heavy-clouded, which eventually erupted with huge, fluffy snowflakes. It snowed all day in Baltimore. The first real snow of the winter. Just enough to cover the ground and make things look pretty and clean. Tomorrow afternoon there will [...]

Cold as a witch’s teat…

It actually feels like winter today. Kind of looks the part, too. Windy, powdering of snow this morning, below freezing temperatures. The thing that makes it human somehow is the bright, warm sun that has shined all day. Thank you sun. I know I usually curse you and your burney rays, but in the icy [...]

Wow.

It happened, didn’t it? It isn’t some kind of cruel joke, is it? The actual real right thing happened in the United States yesterday. I know I said I couldn’t stop crying at the thought of Barack Obama losing the election, but the reality is that now that it has happened my peepers are like [...]

Post-Election Depression

Posted in Barack Obama, tagged on November 3, 2008 | 4 Comments »

What’s gonna happen when its over? When the drone of the endless pundit news programs (though, Rachel Maddow, you are the exception, with no apparent drone) quiets, when Sarah Palin’s hyjinx dissolve and John McCain’s whiney protesteth too much panicked roll of the eyes and sideways glances go the way of so many other losing [...]
