Just can’t turn on the election news. I’ve always been interested in politics and knew they were significant, but I haven’t been scared before. I was angry with Reagan and bothered with Bush senior. Now I’m angry and scared. When does it get scary? I guess when you figure out …
And if you are a republican vote often. I just lost a much better entry, but I’m too tired to try and recreate it. I have no idea what happened, all of a sudden my (new) laptop screen went blank. I did a hard reboot and it was fine. But …
Just a bit hard to sit down and make sure I get today’s entry out. I am finding that I like knowing I *have* to write something, it helps when the energy is flagging. And it is. I’ve had a bit too much hidden MSG this last week, that rather …
I wonder if you are ever completely sure about having a child. There was ambivalence on both our parts with the first pregnancy, but we were 90% sure. And so we decided. Then quicker than a 16 year old in the back of a camero after her first three beers …
I’m scared, really scared about politics again, for the first time since well, last week. I’ve been scared since the Shrub stole the first election. And the truth is coming out about that, but the predominantly conservative mainstream media (it has been disgusting how the media has rolled over for …
Much too fast.Baby wizard Purple Princess Kitty Dark Princess–please to be noting this is the same outfit as her very first Halloween 🙂 And this year, Princess Jasmine
I suppose it would be utterly lame to sign up for the and not post something on the very first day. We’re babysitting my niece, who is a lovely girl of seven. Emily is excited at her “very second sleepover.” We all stayed home to recover from our now becoming …
First of all, before I get to the most memorable quote of any evening ever (and lo there have been many evenings and many quote lists, some I’m sure still floating around the internet)I have to say that this was hands down the best girl’s night I’ve had in a …
No matter what you do you will never escape them. Even if you raise your child completely without television (and I know some folks like that, but lets just say I disagree–all things in moderation and unless like the idea of your child being a social outcast, it probably better …
A recent experience has caused me to contemplate the hollow space that must be within everyone but the most simple of us. Smaller at some times than others. More obvious at times and at times more painful. In your teens, the hollow space is that of identity. If you are …
At different times a hollow space: A vague story told in Soundtracks A recent experience has caused me to contemplate the hollow space that must be within everyone but the most simple of us. Smaller at some times than others. More obvious at times and at times more painful. In …
Well the entries are getting closer together. The goal for next week is another entry. Or I may have three this weekend and the dam will have broken (I wrote that ‘damn’ which is indicative of my feelings without structured creativity). This actually occurred on my way out of the …
I haven’t had much to say. It seems it has all been said before or said better. I’m not the first woman to miscarry. It isn’t the third or fourth or 6th time, it’s the first. Actually the third, but the one when I was 20 –I didn’t know what …
Today we lost a pregnancy Sign of the Zodiac–Rasputina Do you beleve in the Signs of the Zodiac? Haven’t you found that the systems for Planning always fail? Can you avoid what gave Daddy his heart attack? Have you tried everything, anything All to no avail? I know what you …
That’s what it feels like. I note distinct differences in how people communicate in the various places I’ve lived. In San Francisco, everything was exagerrated, overstated and intense. It wasn’t just a “bad date,” it was a “horrific, mind numbing excursion into the underbelly of boredom.” It wasn’t a ” …
I’m sitting here twitching with too much coffee. The coffee we still get sent from Freed’s in San Francisco. Wearing perfume I have sent from another part of California (www. Blackphoenixalchemylab.com) and searching online for a cool dress for the Bean at a shop in New York, while working on …
Petting the cats at the shelter makes me realize what a blight on this earth many humans are. They had to put a sweet orange fellow down while I was there. He was sick and not getting better. But if someone would have adopted him he WOULD have gotten better. …
