My tumblarity tells me so. And I'm not cuter than...
Mr. Kent: Are you a writer? I assume, but you've never actually said.
Me: What makes you say that?
Mr. Kent: You have that look.
Me: Look? Cos if I looked like Dorothy Parker / Anais Nin, well, that'd be sweet. Shit, I'll take Anne Sexton, too.
Mr. Kent: Not a Vonnegut look, which is good, but a thoughtful, introspective, expressive look.
Me: Maybe I'm just thoughtful, introspective, and expressive. Or a con-girl.
Mr Kent: You are cuter than them. And, I think con artists would be good at anything they wanted to.
2009: Songs in the key of POP! for my 2009
Is it time to jump on the end of the year bandwagon yet? Oh, I think so! I could try and make a list of the best albums of the year, or the decade, but I’m just not “good” enough at music for that. The other thing is, sadly, so much of the music of the year for me is pop music in fast cars going across the Bay Bridge. So I wanted to do a “songs I dug” + moments in...

The cat came back
On Christmas Day, one of my parent’s (thus, my childhood) cats ran away. Klondike. El Oso, or, as my brother has named him, Landshark (not the beer, jerks). It was fraught. And even though I was sad and worried about the cat, I still went home. I felt a little guilty. But I had to go.
Anyway, as the title said, he’s well and good. Well, I don’t know about either of those. Today...

It’s important that you do things at a pace that is sustainable for you, Taurus, but that doesn’t mean you get to stop altogether just because you’re scared. Be proactive! Find increments of your goals that you can complete right now, no matter how small or insignificant they seem. Slow down and calm your nerves while moving forward. (SFBG)

Kids who don’t fit in (duh). Smart geeks. Umphrey’s McGee fans. Girls who didn’t get enough drama when they were younger. 30somethings who were cool when they were 20something. Boys who don’t read.

New Years could kill me just with anticipation...
Franny: Are you wired in a good way or a bad way?
Me: Um both? I dunno. Jess called me which sort of set me off, plus NINE DAYS NINE DAYS NINE DAYS
Me: Which is probably more stressful than exciting for you.
Franny: A little. But I'm SUPEREXCITED to see you guys!!
Franny: You have no idea
Me: OMG OMG OMG ME TOO. The let down from going back to work will probably kill me BUT WHO CARES SAN FRANCISO NEW YEARS WIFEY JESSICA IN AND OUT.

Here we are, end of the year time. So, I’m going to jump on the list-making and reminiscing band wagon. WHO IS EXCITED? Oh, and possibly post every single recent picture I have relating to the great state of California in preparation for NEW YEARS SAN FRANCISCO 2010, ladies and gents. Because I am so excited I just cannot stand it.

Tony’s Birthday and I’m going to make French Silk Pie after work. Except:
1. There is still the last flat of a case of eggs in the fridge.
2. There is still half a case of PBR + a six pack taking up space.
3. This pie needs to sit in the refrigerator.

Invest in the power of positive thinking. Get clear about the details as well as the big picture of your desires. Be careful not to over analyze. Just discern what you need, what you want, and where your obstacles are. (SFBG)

So, if you don’t live on the West Coast, you have PLENTY of time (4 and a half more hours by my count) to submit, for FREE, to a rockin’ undergraduate literary magazine out of Oakland, CA. They’re great. You should do it. I edited this last year and it just gets better. Honestly, why WOULDN’T you, my wordy pioneers?
