Back in the Midwest

In which I now consider myself to be a resident of the Left Coast, visiting Iowa for a week. I’m baaaaaaaaaaaaack! Back online and back in Iowa, that is. The captain of my flight out of Portland said that we could listen in to the air traffic control chatter on channel 9 if we wanted […]

Greetings From The Left Coast

In which I’ve made it! I took a commuter flight from CID (Cedar Rapids, IA) to ORD (Chicago O’hare). Then I took a big ass jet from ORD to PDX (Portland, OR) where my kick-ass baby brother picked me up and promptly took me to a dive bar so I could decompress over a few […]

Warming Up & Cooling Down

In which I must be part bear or something. It’s warming up to birthday time! I can tell because I’ve been getting gifts already. (I love gifts.) Someone emailed me an entire Ben Folds album, and someone else bought me lunch via Paypal. (Fear of Pop, Vol. I rocks, by the way. I’d already had […]

In which my time is limited. It occurred to me this morning that I only have so many opportunities left to have Indian take-out for lunch. I don’t remember there being any Indian restaurants in Walla Walla (there’s Thai and sushi, though!), and I don’t have high hopes that my grandma will be up for […]

More Little Things

In which there are several visual aides! With the help of NLW I collected a bunch of stuff from the farm yesterday, but I never did see my beloved Polaroid camera. I looked all over the place several times but it wasn’t there. Bread said he couldn’t remember seeing it anywhere. Last night in bed […]

Things I Want

In which it’s probably true that McDonald’s isn’t so good for you. On more than one level. There’s a story about a monk who suddenly and inexplicably becomes obsessed with the news. It turns out that the servant who prepares his food does so while reading the paper, and the subtle vibes in the food […]

About a window I didn't open.

In which I tell you a story about my sordid past. Tonight I’m going to a birthday party at TiRi’s with this cute kid I met the other day. He’s nineteen. I watched him try to seduce a drunken redneck who thought he was a girl, and the look on the kid’s face when he […]
