In which I do an op-ed. There’s a Twitter feed, called Well Regulated Militia (find it at @Well_Regulated_), that posts about nothing but the gun-related incidents and accidents that befall our, well, “militia.” Here’s a common example of its content: “A member of our well regulated militia sleeps with a loaded gun under his pillow. […]
In which my eBay order from China arrived today! Okay, okay, OKAY: I have far too many fountain pens now!
In which I have thirteen inks!? Well, this is my fountain pen ink collection. I don’t think I realized I had so many! The hues I have are these: Grey, horsetail brown, tundra green, teal, damson purple, rouge opera red, black, violet, apple green, orange yellow, rose pink, lavender blue, and syrah red. The syrah […]
In which I whinge! My feet hurt. I’m glad of my new job because it forces my lazy self to move around, but MY FEET HURT! I just worked a seven-hour shift (wearing compression socks and squishy shoes, even) and MY FEET HURT! My feet hurt! OW. I did get a delicious sandwich half-off, though, […]
In which there’s a repost, because I liked what I wrote. My dad, no idiot, who has told me about his own experiences of the ineffable (while yet confusing “religion” with idiot American Christianity and considering himself an atheist), posted this on Facebook: This was my reply: Seriously, though, who believes in a God as […]
In which I’m blogging because I’m not scrolling Twitter. TWITTER: I waste a remarkable amount of time on Twitter. Used to enjoy it, but now it’s more a habit than a pleasure. Sometimes it’s fun, still, and there are quasi-meaningful interactions with other users, but most of it’s just crap: the absurdity that is the […]
In which I vent about the strange side effects of surviving for five decades. I’ve been unusually healthy most of my life, I think. Always felt robust and fine the majority of the time, barely even noticed my body. Had one surgery, wisdom teeth out, and a root canal. A ganglion cyst on my left […]
In which there was spaghetti for dinner! I made tofu “meatballs” today. (The recipe is here.) I’ve never eaten actual meatballs, so it was a strange exercise, but hey: I had all the ingredients on hand and needed to use up the tofu! Alone, they’re really bland, but in sauce they’re fine. (I didn’t make […]
In which I was able to quit a job I very much did not enjoy and replace it with one that involves CHEESE. I applied to, like, between 17 and 22 jobs over about a month’s time. Two declined via email; none of the others even responded, save I think one that sent a “we […]
