Lawn Scrabble

I need to go to Home Depot tomorrow and get the supplies to do this myself. I wonder if they sell artistic talent, too?

The "Blog" of "Unnecessary" Quotation Marks

The "Blog" of "Unnecessary" Quotation Marks:

For a moment, it was like the world only existed for me… but then I realized something even better: I am not alone in my insane obsessions.

Just a few things

Sat, 10 May 2008 16:39:00 -0500

I feel like making lists today. I:

-got married while barefoot.

-named a pet fish “Sushi.”

-was an official screamer for a haunted house (my throat ached for days).

-named my son after two musicians (but also my father-in-law).

-learned to read before I was three (thanks, mom).

-won tickets to Coachella to see the one band I never thought I’d get to see (yay, Pixies reunion!).

-never learned to play the cello (how sad).

-wish I had more time for everything (wait, that’s not unusual or notable!)

-realize this is a waste of everyone’s time, including my own.

Decided this weekend that my dream job would be to travel around with companies who tear down buildings and photograph their work. I really need to work toward that, because it would be pretty much perfect. Classward-ho, I guess!

So I was thinking… there are so many things going on that were prophesied for the future years ago. Food shortages, long-running, useless wars, major devaluation of the dollar, prices on everything increasing rapidly. We’re living on the edge of a dystopia and now that we’re here, no one seems to think it’s much of a big deal. Here’s your future.

What does it say about me when I have to put “update Facebook” on my damn to-do list? Which is, by the way, extraordinarily long.

Christopher just reminded me of something — once, while admiring a Mac Pro at CompUSA (RIP), I typed in TextEdit, “This is a computer for rich people,” and walked away.

Now I have one. So why aren’t I rich?

Such a beautiful day, and I’ve been promised homemade waffles next weekend. Little things are much sweeter when you’ve got a baby wreaking havoc on your schedule.

not quite right

Fri, 04 Apr 2008 00:04:08 -0500

What does it say about me as a person that my first thought after the storms pass is: damn, I really need to get out with my camera tomorrow if it’s not raining too hard, so I can take pictures of the damage!

There should probably be a question mark in there somewhere, but I’m not sure I deserve one.

writing to remember or remembering to write

Mon, 31 Mar 2008 04:33:02 -0500

This week, I am going to finish the (first) draft of the story I started working on… I don’t know when. Two weeks ago? Baby-time is confused-time. The first 1200 words poured out and I haven’t had time to get back since — but I will. I’d better find time before class this fall, anyway; I’m running out of old drafts that I can pretend are new.

Back in the blogging day

Mon, 31 Mar 2008 02:04:27 -0500

I started blogging initially in… 2003? 2004? Years ago, anyway, and I remember that, back then, it was a big deal to have a glitzy site if you could. Special, personalized layouts, skins, widgets, whatever css you could cobble together that looked okay — you put it in there. It was part of the thing (if you were doing a personal blog, anyway). Now, I’m hanging out here on tumblr and sure, there are customization options, but most people just choose a theme, toss in some badges, and get their type on.

I think I like this better. It’s easier, to say the least, and way less stressful.

So we’re switched over to pretty much only cloth diapers now, with a very few exceptions, like if we’re going to be out for a while in the car. Otherwise, though, we’re washing ‘em up, and it’s a lot…
