It snowed. Again. Hold me. I can’t take much more. Okay, I’m good now. As I said a couple blog posts ago, I’m looking for a new apartment. This is my fourth move in five years: my parents moved to a new house when I was 19, I moved home from college at 21, moved [...]

I’m 24 years old, so I’m going to estimate that I’ve seen a few billion commercials in my lifetime (give or take a million). Even if my math is a little off, it definitely feels that way. They’ve come to be expected and are mostly ignored, except when they’re a form of entertainment. I don’t [...]

I know. I haven’t been writing. If it makes you feel better, dear (few) readers of mine, I’ve not only been a blog slacker lately, but a life slacker. I’m sleeping too much but I’m still tired. I have no energy or desire to cook but that doesn’t stop me from getting hungry.  My laundry [...]

I’m watching the Olympics and men’s figure skating is on- not my thing, but I don’t make the schedule. The guy who just skated apparently made all kinds of mistakes, like a single axle instead of a triple, and he missed some other technical ice skating trick. I feel really bad for the guy because [...]

I can’t believe it’s mid-February already. The older I get, the faster time flies. I guess that means I’m having more fun.

Weather talk is so boring. What more is there to say than it snowed some more and I was stuck in the house. Yawn. Let’s move on to politics because that’s never polarizing. Something I’ve struggled with my entire life is a feeling of frustration over things I can’t control. Part of me knows that [...]

While I’m stuck inside, I might as well admire the beauty. I was supposed to go to work yesterday but that wasn’t going to happen. I live on a hill, and my street was (and still mostly is) buried. I watched four-wheel-drive vehicles get stuck. Oh yes, and there was a state of emergency declared, [...]

See those indents in the snow? I made them an hour and a half after this was taken. You can’t even tell I walked through it now. This insanity has accumulated in only nine hours. I keep hearing we have everything from four inches to six to eight to a foot, so I’m going to [...]

Few things are more adorable to me than baby shoes. Yes, the clothes are cute, the socks are darling, but the shoes! The shoes! I’m don’t even love adult shoes the way I love baby shoes*. I know Hemingway wrote a very sad six word story involving baby shoes (which he considered his best work), [...]

Due to technical difficulties (a flaky internet connection), Mining Monday is a day late, for once not because of my procrastination. Okay, maaybe procrastinating a little. Some weeks I have a hard time figuring out what edition it is. This one was pretty obvious: Only because Mining Monday: Pink Paper On White Is Really Hard [...]
