In which I use the great power of the Internet to apply for jobs that are far away. Fairfield was being really cute this morning. People smiled at me in the post office for no good reason, and then I saw Bartender walking to work and she waved at me, and then I saw Baby […]
In which it’s all getting all bittersweet and shit because I’m getting ready to move away. The weather is perfect today, breezy and cool and gorgeous. Bindu and I walked up to Mi-T-Mart so I could treat myself to a Frappucino out of the cooler. Iowa’s showing off for me, I think: Look, I can […]
In which I feel utterly fantastic, now that I’m doing something. When I got home from work yesterday Bghead was on the porch with his laptop saying, “I just read your blog! We’re going to lose you?!” When I told Truck and Bowling Jesus that I’d decided to move to Washington, Truck said, “Good. I’m […]
In which I’ve made a decision. House hunting has not gone well. I don’t think there’s a single 4- or 5-bedroom house for rent in the entire county, and even if there is it won’t be in the right school district. I’ve received no follow-up offer from my ex-employer, and none of the other local […]
In which things appear to be taking off but maybe it’s just an illusion. First off, I have to say I’ve just about had it with the fucking humidity. I am not at all enamored with being sticky and damp all the time! I do not enjoy damp sheets! GAH! It’s like living in a […]
In which I address the Universe at large. Dear Universe, I’m ready to do something else now, pleez. This past year has been wonderfully safe and nurturing, and I really needed it. But now I’m ready to have a job that uses my brain, and a living situation over which I have a little control. […]
In which life is stranger than fiction. Sunday, I went to the little bar for drinks and air conditioning. I met a strange little person there. He has a large trust fund, he went to jail for writing fifteen hundred dollars worth of bad checks at a local gas station, he has a fiancee, and […]
In which my time in the studio was soooooo fun. Thursday morning I got up at seven and bathed and dressed and packed, and BvB’s husband dropped her off and we loaded into the jeep and drove to Cedar Falls – about three hours away. We were singing about half an hour after getting to […]
In which I warn you… I’ll be offline! Tomorrow and the next day I’ll be here, recording backup vocals for the Seventh Ray’s second album. I’ve been told to expect ten-hour days, but since they don’t start ’til noon I guess I’m fine with that. The project is over-budget so I’ll be sleeping in a […]
In which a very good question is asked. The whole maternal side of my family is converging on the ancestral home in Walla Walla, WA next month for Grandma’s 80-somethingth birthday celebration. In email discussions, both my aunt and my grandmother have mentioned that I might like to ‘come home.’ Gramma informs me, “You might […]
