Well, Lit 15 Sep 2011 | 08:54 am
Things have been hectic. Also suspiciously well lit for mid-September. I'm ready for a seriously gloomy, tea-worthy fall season.
Parody of a Good Time 3 Sep 2011 | 10:03 am
Over the weekend I read this book, which isn’t remarkable. It’s exactly the kind of book that I always pluck covertly from a display in the public library while I’m waiting to use the self check-out s...
Questionable Judgment in Questionable Bathrooms 28 Aug 2011 | 09:00 am
I’ve always been the kind of person who makes illogical answers to what should be easy questions. If you were to ask me what I do for a living I might name, instead of giving a pat one-word title, an ...
Flat Brain Stoppage 12 Aug 2011 | 11:24 am
Over the weekend I was reading Terry Castle’s essay collection The Professor when I came across this little gem: “So what if Jo didn’t want to be a professor anymore? Fine: I did. I wanted to read Edi...
Less Than Twelve 9 Aug 2011 | 01:59 pm
As usual, I managed to take fewer than twelve photos on my vacation. And Tahoe is beautiful, too, so I can't do what I usually do and blame the landscape. And after I subtracted all of the pictures th...

Ever since I broke the vase on my coffee press and tried (and failed) to replace it, I've been making my coffee using this hobo system. I know it's not sustainable; I'll eventually run out of cheesecl...
Pretty Damn Heartwarming 21 Jul 2011 | 09:14 am
Last week I accidentally reread The Incredible Journey, and since I bet you’re wondering, I’ll tell you: it’s still horribly heartwarming. Not quite as heartwarming as that movie based on the novel (t...
Shim-Shimmering Around 19 Jul 2011 | 02:12 pm
This last week has been strange and hectic and I'm a little too busy at the moment to describe it properly. I'm also a little too busy to pen my usual ode to dramatic over-contemplation -- too busy ev...
Sob-Spot 14 Jul 2011 | 11:01 am
Tomorrow I’m going to go and do a horrible dork-thing. It’s also a horribly irresponsible thing, considering that I have to go to work in the morning. I’m going to see the second part of Harry Potter ...
