In which I can stay up all night if I want to, because I have nothing to do during the day.
Yesterday I watched TV and ate a burrito. That was my entire contribution to the world. Srsly.
Last night I left the house at 8 o’clock, picked up the Wolf, and went to Barnaby’s for open [...]
In which unemployment is beginning to take its toll.
I stayed up well past two, watching Torchwood on Netflix. (I still love you, Ianto!) Then I slept for about twelve hours.
Not straight through, though. I actually woke up at ten and thought about getting up, but I didn’t. I just laid there until I went back [...]

In which I decide that in a perfect world I’d be a professional student. And then I complain.
Following are the things I have considered studying – in the past two weeks alone – if only I had the required time and/or money:
Astronomy. There’s a cool online course I want to take; it costs a couple [...]
In which every time I go to New York, I have some sort of revelation about how unhappy I am. This is a very long post; YHBW.
The last time I was in New York, I’d gone to sing on my friend Barbara’s a capella album. I went because I was invited, not because I’d decided [...]
In which I travel for twelve hours and end up right back where I started from a week ago.
I got up at seven this morning (that’s FOUR in the fucking MORNING Pacific time, my babies, but WHO’S COUNTING?) and met my car in front of Jake’s condo at 7:20. Arrived at La Guardia twenty minutes [...]
I don’t like TV. There are shows on TV that I enjoy, yes, but overall TV is crass and evil and fills your head with shit. It is a waste of time. While I’ve been known to veg in front of the glass teat myself, it’s a diversion for me and not a lifestyle. TV makes you complacent, stupid, and greedy, and while it does so it systematically makes you think you’re cleverer than you really are while simultaneously undermining your self-confidence. Fuck TV. People who watch too much TV are voluntarily crippling themselves.
In which I am totally out of condition for the kapha Olympics.
Took myself out for awesome chile rellenos at Rosita’s on Friday night. Got my hair done on Saturday morning. Went out for sushi with Teh [Now Ex] BF on Saturday night. Did laundry Sunday and watched a vid. Walked the dog a couple times.
I [...]
In which I accomplish virtually nothing whatsoever.
I had plans to get some shit done this weekend, but The Curse™ arrived and I decided to be lazy instead.
I watched a bunch of classic Doctor Who. I ate hash browns with gravy, a weird and completely non-nutritious dish I get occasional cravings for. I knitted. I made [...]
Sunday also just happened to by my one year anniversary of seeing Teh BF. He brought me coffee and flowers in bed that morning and took me out to dinner. In return, I bought brunch and tried not to be a bitch all day.
I still don’t own a car or furniture or kitchenware, and now if I were to leave in search of decent employment opportunities I guess I’d feel strange about abandoning G’ma to live alone. I think she thinks I’m lazy and maybe a bit of an idiot sometimes (and I’m frankly too lazy to disabuse her of such notions), but at least she’s not alone in the house and we do on occasion have hours-long discussions about cooking that are very satisfying to both of us.

In which this morning was your typical stupid Monday morning.
I went to bed early, so I woke up early.
Very early. Pre-dawn early.
I read for awhile. The sun came up. It was bright and cheery until dawn was complete, and then a valley’s worth of clouds rolled in and there was a 4-minute wind [...]
In which I contemplate how stupid I am. And then we talk about clothes!
I got wasted on my 21st birthday, of course, but I did very little drinking back then. I started drinking regularly in my late 20’s when I lived in Iowa, mostly because there’s nothing else to do when you live in a [...]
