In which there’s film! I follow a bunch of photography folk on bsky, because not only are cameras cool, posts about enjoying analog hobbies are much more nourishing than the goddamn inescapable political doomscroll. (At this point, if I could not know about DOGE or P25 or this idiotic venal disgusting fucking war, or, indeed, […]
In which there’s a first time. Okay, like basically everyone on earth, I’ve heard of scones with clotted cream, but I’ve never had it because I’m American and the only time I’ve ever set foot in a fancy tea room was as a performer and not a patron. Last week one of my co-workers told […]
In which there’s hours of cooking. First you have to soak the chickpeas and make the bread, so best be starting the day before. Because we’ve got executive function, oh yes we do, so it only took, what, three weeks of thinking about it before we did it. Anyway, I made some super high hydration […]
In which there’s more, but not much more… because I didn’t write it. Most nights, I slept with my windows wide open and could hear the surf. It was glorious. If I left the hall early at night, I could hear the bhajans slightly while lying in bed, and sometimes in the early mornings I […]
In which I use my passport! And spend eighty hours in airports and airplanes! I’ve been thinking about writing this post for most of a month now, because I wasn’t sure how, since it wasn’t really a touristy trip. I went to see my Sadguru, an enlightened person, an avatar, for spiritual purposes, and most […]
In which I’m on vacation, as of Saturday at 6:10pm when I clocked off work. I’m pretty much packed! Had to buy new luggage, because ours were a few inches too big for the new carry-on sizes and I don’t want to check anything. New suitcase is green, within parameters for cabin luggage on Air […]
In which I’m going to use my passport! I’ve got the month of July off work, and I’m going to Amritapuri. I complained about the tedium of shopping for flights, so my dad offered to do it for me. Today I’ve bought some items for the trip, including a rain poncho, bug repellent, and a […]
In which I slept until one o’clock. The Yeti is off at Microsoft for a week-long tech conference, and I have a cold or something. Started out yesterday feeling tired after a good night’s sleep, swollen glands, and a vaguely sore throat. Went to work, came home. Woke up today feeling so incredibly meh I […]
In which there’s an update. I used to find it much easier to post regularly when I both had things to bitch about and felt fine about bitching about things. But now I think it’s not that great a habit, and also whatever I might have to complain about is less a problem and more […]
In which it’s been grey, overcast, and foggy for a few days but it FEELS like it’s been MONTHS. We had T-day alone, just the two of us. Which is how we normally do it, because we spent so much time so far away from family. This year most of the family had mild medical […]
