A Post Every Day
I’m going to re-post some old stuff, be it art or writing or whatever, once a day. I’m probably going to just go alphabetically through my folders, but you might find something interesting (or crappy).
Stuff
I’ve finally updated to the latest version of wordpress. In doing so, I also decided on using another theme and putting some distinction between private and public posts. So register if you haven’t already, and you’ll get to read EVERYTHING.
Protected: [07:16:38] <+Meddygon> I HAVE A STRONG DISTASTE FOR THE MAJORITY OF RETAIL CHAINS.
There is no excerpt because this is a protected post.
The Something Store
For those of you who don’t know what to get someone for Christmas, get them a Something. I first heard about the Something Store on NPR earlier this year and bought something just to see if this place was real, and that the somethings were as varied as they say. During the interview with the…
Anne Ramsey
Some of my earliest memories of my father’s mother are of her begging us for something. She had a sense of entitlement when it came to family, that her kids HAD to take care of her, no matter how she behaved, just because they were her kids. I remember her moving in with us when…
Monitors
For a while I’ve been using two lcd displays. My first one, going on four years old or more now, has a crappy contrast ratio and really makes it difficult to deal with colors properly when making arts. Because of that, and because I’d just bought a computer that could hand dual display, I bought…
Pay It Forward
In 2000, a movie called “Pay It Forward” came about. In it, a social studies teacher gives his second-grade students a task for extra credt: come up with an idea to make the world a better place. The main character, a student, comes up with the idea he calls paying forward. Person A does three…
Goddamn winter.
I have a headache. It started last night. It’s not a headache I normally have, and my medication doesn’t seem to affect it. It hasn’t gone away or diminished, no matter what I’ve taken. So I watched it snow a bit in the middle of the night. Fuck. Snow. Means I have to shovel the…
Do you like Jerky? Do you like money?
Some time last year, I got a spam email that has managed to live in my inbox for a long time simply because of the title above. The content is just as wonderful. Do you like Jerky? Do you like money? from Clint. AMANDA,Do you love JERKY? Would you like your JERKY to pay you…

I drove alone today.
The real reason I finally got my driver’s license is because I’m starting a new job tomorrow (Dec 17) and my husband has to go out to California for a business trip. Even though the place I work at is closer than the school I used to ride my bike to every other day, it…
8 Years Late
I now have a driver’s license. 8 years late.

The building … it was a mansion, a home … I found it difficult to navigate. To get to certain floors you had to first go up, then down, then up a flight again. None of the stairwells were straight up or down. The walls of the place were mostly an off-white with wooden doors….

I’ve never felt so off the norm in my life. I don’t know what it is. It’s been seven months since I’ve moved to Chicago. I’ve been fine with the distance . . . maybe it’s the holidays, but the holidays never affected me before. I find myself crying a lot. This isn’t something I…

HOORAY! Spent the evening with Q. We started out meeting downtown – she was supposed to be at the Virgin Megastore waiting for me, but she wasn’t. No biggie, we met up next to WGN and walked to the AMC theatre on Illinois. We get in line, and they won’t take sodding credit cards. Bugger…

She just keeps fucking talking and talking and talking and not saying anything … She even attempts to mimic people and gets the meaning of a statement completely wrong…

I really hate it when people defend their stance in an argument with the idea that “I’m older therefore I know more.”

I plugged in the hand vac and the charger about 10 minutes ago. It’s spent very little of that time on the charger. And maria wonders why it keeps dying on her. She though she broke it at first, and started defending herself by insulting the product.
