Why oh why?

I’m on vacation from writing for a few days, as I’m in the middle of horrid writers block. Try back next week, around Christmas. md

A brief bit of brevity.

It always freaks me out when friends of mine and I have that weird moment of psychic connection. You know those moments where a friend tells you they were thinking about you at such-and-such a time and you realize that is exactly when you were thinking about *them*. That just happened to me and my…

Not seeing in a seeing world…

We take a lot of little things for granted in life. Toilets that flush and a McDonalds on every other corner aside, what about the really important things that go neglected throughout our daily lives. Forget for a moment the person you wake up next to every night or the car in the garage. Start…

Things you discover…

…hidden in closets can be disturbing. Stashed away, in dark corners of forgotten recesses, are the darnedest things. We’ve all heard stories about the discovery of old pictures stuck to a baseboard or a Mickey Mantle rookie card in a hole under a loose board. But what about those things hidden in closets we *don’t*…

I have found heaven…

…and it’s at my new job. Formerly, I was employed as a waiter at an unnamed Mexican food restaurant that is a large chain, has stores in shopping malls and around movie theatres, and only offers quasi-edible food. Now, I’m working at a mediterranean food restaurant where the waiters *know* what they are doing, the…

I’ve a migraine, please forgive, but…

Victoria Paige will not dance the Dance of the Red Shoes tonight. Sorry–wrong movie. I’ve got a headache, hon, and am going to take three tylenolPM and go to bed. Love and ciao. md

Christmas isn’t something that’s all around me…

…it’s something I’ve stepped in and gotten on my shoes. At least that’s how I feel as related to the people I’ve been around for the last few days. Save last night’s excursion into alchohol-induced euphoria at the Olive Garden. (Try their stuffed chicken marsala. Fucking phenominal.) I had a good time then. I don’t…

My feet hurt…

Who would have known that a pair of Rockport could be uncomfortable! Nevermind that I was on my feet 11 hours, waiting on people who, for whatever reason, decided that this was the weekend they wanted Mexican food and stuff you can only get at Gap and JC Penney. Why do people want to shop…

The Wonderful World of Deadlines….

I love deadlines — especially that glorious wooshing sound they make as they go flying by. Unfortunately, I missed the deadline on a paper I’m writing concerning sexuality in Romeo and Juliet, specifically the presentations of Juliet’s sexuality presented in the play by various characters. Ironic really, the concept of sexuality and deadlines are so…

Thanksgiving and being thankful.

I am thankful for many things, this year. I’m thankful for a job, for a warm bed and a roof that doesn’t leak. I’m thankful for my friends, even the ones that don’t always live up to expectations and promises. I am thankful for living in a free country and a refrigerator that has food…
