I particularly hate when I spill coffee all over myself just after I left the house — but just far enough away that it’s not worth it to go home and change. I think I am incapable of drinking coffee without pouring it onto my shirt and pants (or skirt, on less windy days).
I also […]
I only need to be at the synagogue for 10 am and not 8:45 on Saturday. My current plan is to make an appearance, then discreetly hide in the bathroom with a book to preserve my refusal to go in synagogues where men and women are separated stance. It really depends on which family members […]
All I want to do, all day long, is sleep. (I fell asleep on the 15 minute bus ride today, woke up a few stops before mine, and kept dozing off as the bus moved very very slowly uphill. I really wanted to just stay on the bus and sleep.) All I want to do, […]
Last night I dreamed that I woke up early and made muffins. I had half planned to do this for real, but figured the chance that I would magically wake up before my alarm was low. And in fact I only woke up 5 minutes before my alarm, without a single muffin to console me. […]
“Two tickets for Sweeney Todd, please.”
“Are you aware that it’s a musical?”
“…”
“The movie. Do you know it’s a musical? With songs.”
I got my period this week, which explains why I snapped at people Tues and Wed. But it didn’t come with its usual “wow, I think I should kill myself” introduction (or at least, not a serious one — I can’t believe I can rank the levels of premenstrual suicidal ideation), so I didn’t expect […]

We have the love trials of the wealthy girls (though with less sex than in the Upper East Side), we have the unnamed narrator, we have the focus on the narrator’s use of the internet.
I am enjoying the […]
Among the dreams I had last night, I dreamed I slept late and then went to a museum. And lo and behold, I slept late. I am only just barely awake now, and I’m still late, and I’m online.
This is not the ideal morning plan.
So, to continue with my litany of illness-related woes, I have this sort of persistent not quite stomach ache. I don’t really know what it is, though it tends to be responsive to Advil (and not Tylenol). It doesn’t make me feel nauseated, though I think it makes me less hungry. It is unpleasant.
I […]
I’m so tired lately that I wish — for once — that I took more photos, so I could put them up in lieu of content.
I will instead link to a short story I like, by James Alan Gardner, Three Hearings on the Existence of Snakes in the Human Bloodstream.
I read one of the books […]
