Ok, it's been a bad day 2008-05-29 17:55:49 Wait, have I said that before?Seems like I only blog when I'm really annoyed at the world or something hilariously bad has happened or there is a calamity to report.What does that say about me?So here are the annoying things that happened today:1. My furnace is broken. Again. I've decided not to fix it until the fall. So there, fucking furnace.2. I got a parking ticket.3. I got a notice in t
A Dating Story... 2008-06-06 00:26:56 Um is that the name of some cheesy show on Lifetime? "A Dating
Story?" Oh, no, wait, I'm thinking of "A Wedding Story" or "A Baby Story"... that's right... they don't do stories about pathetic people in their mid-30s lookin' for love.Oh, I sound bitter and cynical today...Well, I am.I've... ummm... had it. Dating story and all.This was my dating life today:1. I went out with a lovely chap a fe
This is a good day 2008-06-08 16:13:44 for two reasons:1. Although I have to cancel my artist residency for the summer because of my pending shoulder surgery (which was rescheduled to Aug 5, by the way), they are transferring my residency to next summer and I get first dibs on the dates. Whoo hoo!2. I got my period. Phew. I don't think I've ever been happier about that in my whole life. Ever. I was worried because I had been on
Fiascalainen 2008-06-15 13:52:57 I have some sort of home crisis on a daily basis. My furnace is broken, I can't open the window in the bathroom, my hedge is overwhelming my life... you know, these sorts of things. Most of the time the fiascoes are related to my laziness or stubbornness and I am unable to blame Mother Nature, the Universe, God, or my daily diety of choice. I can only laugh and point the finger of blame / shame
On the Iowa floods, the rebirth of the hedge, and cancer 2008-06-17 22:06:33 This last week was a difficult one for many people in Iowa. For the second time in 15 years, the state has suffered floods that are only supposed to happen every 500 years, leaving many people with damaged homes, destroyed crops, and the loss of things important to them. My parents's home did not sustain water damage, but my family has been affected by the floods.One day last week my aunt spent t
And THIS is why I haven't updated my blog for a few weeks. 2008-07-16 00:04:10 Big drama.Hello everyone. I hope you are well and enjoying the summer. I haven't posted for a few weeks
. I could lie and say I was uninspired, but that would, um... be a lie. The last few weeks have been really strange and I am still struggling to get my head around it all.To wit:PART 1: The Oregon CoastMy friend Shannon and I rented a house in Pacific City, two blocks away from the Pacific O
Weed wackers are annoying 2008-06-21 14:34:27 I like to sit here, iced tea in hand.My yard is a lovely place. Birds, trees, grass, insane dog. It's generally quiet and peaceful which I love after a long day at work. Because the weather in Seattle is getting nicer, I have noticed my neighbors are trying to catch up on yard work. They are behind in general yard tidiness because of the fucking rain and the fucking cold and the general fuckiness

Holy holy holy 2008-07-21 00:35:48 I typed the words in the subject line and the psalm we used to sing in church on Sundays is running through my head. You know, the one in the red vinyl Glory and Praise book...I have to go to Iowa on Tuesday. Unlike the other two trips I've made there in the past year, this one is for a celebration. My youngest brother, the Illustrious Fruits, is tying the knot.The Fruits is a spectacular guy -
You must take a look at this 2008-07-16 20:30:36 My friend called me today to inform me of her online! video! debut! on The People's Court RAW website.

She got paid i

on ipods and shoulder chopping 2008-08-03 13:34:19 As if buying a new car this summer wasn't enough... I bit the bullet and bought a new computer.A lovely new MacBook.I love it.Made the switch from PC to Mac because of their reliability, design, graphic capabilities, etc etc... and I'm wondering what took me so long.It's a gorgeous machine, so easy to use, and it doesn't crash every five seconds, as my other computer did. I haven't had a new c
