All is not well. Birmingham has gotten internet access in his apartment (now that it’s almost 2008.) I don’t like this because I’ve always written with the assumption that he won’t read what I write until a week or two after the fact, when he checks the computer at his mom’s place. I’m therefore used [...]

Obligatory
I’ve been enjoying NaBloPoMo, really. There’s nothing like a Major Injury to keep the topics a’ flowing. I even like posting on the weekends, it feels experimental, like no one’s around and reading, so just put whatever you want up there. But today, I dunno, I got nothing. I suppose I could fall back and [...]

There’s definitely definitely definitely no logic to human behavior
A Sunday book review: I’ve had some free time to read in the past few days; upping my paltry book a month average to one book a week. Last night, I finished reading a new one called “The Geography of Bliss” by Eric Weiner. The book’s concept is that some countries have happier inhabitants than [...]

Thankful for the little things
Way back when, one of my 30 activities was going to be “walking in the woods.” There are some cool old stone walls up in there, and streams, and ticks to explore. Now that life’s a little different than it was in October, walking in the woods is an impossibility. Today, it was a walk [...]

Give ‘em the boot!
After all the worrying about yesterday’s exam, it couldn’t have gone better. They took off my old cast, and I braved my lifelong fear of having a cast taken off my body with a saw (it’s so close to my skin!) The look of my leg underneath that cast, well that was UGLY. I can’t [...]

When she’s underwater does she get wet, or does the water get her instead?
If my camera batteries hadn’t died and the charger was upstairs and if I knew how to use some kind of photoshop program, you would get that this post is supposed to be an homage to the wonderful Bossy and her blog kindergarten posts. However, my camera batteries are dead, and the charger lies in [...]

On the stem
I did one activity yesterday: I got a ride to the feed store to get the lovely Micki more cat food. That one trip made my ankle feel out of whack for the rest of the day. Since I go to the doctor tomorrow to get the stitches out, and I feel like I’m cramming [...]

NaBloPoMo: Day 1, on day 13
Remember when, back on November 1, when I made all those pronouncements about how I was going to explore the Hudson Valley and accomplish 30 activities in 30 days again? As you well know, that was all ruined by the broken ankle at the Championship Kickball Game. warm-up. Now, instead of exploring the outside world, [...]

Home sweet kitchen
Thanks to the quick work of some of my kickball friends, I’ve now moved a mattress into my kitchen, and that’s where I’ll be staying for the duration of this cast thing, or the rest of my 20′s. Whichever comes first. In this photo, the part of the bashful Birmingham will be played by Birmingham [...]

I love you. I know.
It looks like most of my Christmas shopping will be done online this year. I haven’t even figured out the crutches/purse combo, let alone the crutches/many packages combo. Thankfully, the liquor store delivers, and there is awesome stuff like this available to buy: Sadly, it’s sold out. Oh, and my big activity yesterday was a [...]
