OBAMANOS!

Happy Inauguration Day!  Oh, hooray!   Also, first day of spring semester.  A rather auspicious day for beginning anything, I would think. HOORAY!  HOORAY!  HOORAY!  Go get some Barack and Michelle!

The Air Out There

Smells funny to me.  When MYH comes in from work, I can smell the outside air on him, and it smells weird.  Hard to describe, kind of like…wet trees.  But trees wet with water from a pond, a sludgy millpond.  Not a whiff of ocean (of course).  Just weird dead moist weeds smell.   Um. [...]

Whitman Sampler of MY BRAIN

1.  Do people truly care about what’s on the hot lunch menu at Sidwell Friends?  Really?  HEY!  TEACHAH!  LEAVE THEM KIDS ALONE! 2.  I hate finding a big ol’ ‘NO’ in my email inbox on a Monday,  Monday NOes are like a little stumpy toothless man crouched in the corner, shaking his jowls at me [...]

Dead Head

In the store, the food store, just cruising through and suddenly got this weird feeling…like someone was watching me, judging the way I handle products then put them back, so I turned, and – YELLO THERE!!!  Pig heads.  Yes.  Whole PIG HEADS, with snout, ears, eyes.  In the frozen meat case, in amongst the tiny [...]

Loose Lips

There’s a slight proportional doubt enveloping my noggin about the whole concept of sharing.  As in, “Thanks for sharing.”  Both sarcastic (“Um, thanks for sharing“) and sincere (“Thanks so much for sharing that with me”).  I guess this also deals with questions about how fast or slow you can authentically get to know someone, how [...]

Why

…do those trailer park girls go ’round the outside, ’round the outside, ’round the outside?

At Last!

Found a boxing gym!  I think.  Pretty sure.  But hell – I actually don’t care if it’s not the perfect place, it’s good enough for now.  It’s a bit of a drive, but I can make it, I’ll just have to be a bit more organized with my time this semester.  (commence inner derisive cackling) [...]

Do You See The People Right Now? Are They Talking To Us?

I find it rather funny and weird that while I’m doodledicking around on my blog, dusting, rearranging furniture, making goulash – I’ll glance over and bwah-lah!  Four more views on the counter thingy-doo.  Like we’re all in a room together, but in different time periods or something, so we can’t see each other, but if [...]

Horked A Piece Of Blueberry Muffin Up Mah Nose

This is some funny shit, yo.

What’s It Take For A Girl To Get Some Decent Boxing Training?

Lord jeheezieshizzle.  I’ve re-started my quest for a boxing gym here in Austin, and it ain’t goin’ well, my people.  Seems like any middle-aged white dude who once wore gloves can set up shop and call himself a trainer.  Yeesh.  The things I have seen, lord, lord.  And then I also wonder if Teacher J.
