Why look: I just posted about avoidance on this here blog and followed it with . . . avoidance! I did, however, “tell” one friend, who said I could always talk to him. Telling actually means acting so affectless and lifeless that I creep people out, apparently. But you know, I wasn’t pretending to be […]
Talking about someone named V, who a friend knows and who may be but probably is not the V that I knew (and disliked) years ago.
me: The thing I remember about V is the time he came to class wearing tight white shorts with nothing under them. It was quite something. He wore a tight […]
I have been disinclined to blog. Or perhaps it’s just a disinclination to blog about anything of substance or of importance. I feel uncomfortable doing it, as uncomfortable as I feel talking to people about things, which is: very. Because I am sad[1], and though I have many posts about being sad, I feel less […]
I’m thinking it would be fun to foster kittens, though I am also thinking I should wait a bit because I have unscreened windows and leave the back door open (Matilda refuses to leave the balcony but likes to sit out there), something that wouldn’t happen in the winter. But first I’m researching it, and […]

And this is why Chapters’ shipping sucks. Because they say, oh yes, we’ll ship within 24 hours, but they totally haven’t. If I’m very […]
Hey, other bloggers. Come play Funny Farm. Essentially, you’re guessing words that are related to the word in the big centre box.
Most fun: you can work cooperatively, so after you’ve played for a bit, you can merge my saved game and we can play together. I haven’t gotten very far, and it seems like more […]
This morning, I went to shul, for the first time in many years. I have long been disenchanted with the options here, and today has not re-enchanted me. I grew up in a compromise synagogue, a reconstructionist shul with a wannabe-conservative (or maybe conservadox) rabbi. Eventually my family drifted to the reform one here, the […]
My first cousin once removed, to his 90 year old mother, one of the most elegant women on this planet: “But you’re quite the player, aren’t you, mom?”
Me: “Yes, Aunt H, you’re quite the player.”
Or I *finally* started volunteering at the SPCA.
