Recurring theme
Yesterday, I took a look at my second novel(la), which I have retitled “Unbridaled.” Have decided all my works will be titled with homonymic plays on words. My first novel(la), “Czech Mate,” has a scene in which the heroine goes on a hike in the woods with her dude and is freezing cold, wet andContinue reading “Recurring theme”
Is something missing from your life?
Could it be that it’s been too long since you’ve seen pictures of my dog catching a soccer ball? I know these probably look a lot like pictures of my dog catching a soccer ball last March, but she was only five months old then, and now she’s a year old! I’ve decided that IContinue reading “Is something missing from your life?”
Them apples
An appropriate topic for this Washington-based blog, no? I’m eating apples again, now that my TMJ has stabilized. It started with a visit to the Olympia farmer’s market in August, when some dude sliced off a bit of a Ginger Gold and handed it to me. Delicious! I bought two. Buying apples can be frustratingContinue reading “Them apples”
Needing an idea
I’ve decided to do NaNoWriMo again this year. The novel I wrote in 2005 is a mess and I never went back and cleaned it up. And also, I’m afraid I stole too much material from my friends’ lives. This time I’d like to make stuff up.
The way to a man’s heart
To attend my mother’s wedding, Rob had to work an 12-hour overnight shift the previous Sunday, followed by his regular 8-hour shift Monday. Then he traveled with me on Thursday, listened to his iPod during the brief rehearsal and regaled my mother’s friends with fart and ass jokes during the rehearsal dinner. Friday, he wanderedContinue reading “The way to a man’s heart”
OMFG, a Roomba
(To quote Chelsea.) My house is being vacuumed. As I write this. By a robot! It takes a while, as the house is big, but it’s doing its thing. Isis is definitely intrigued, and has licked it a few times, but she doesn’t bark incessantly at it. Rather, she barks sporadically. That I can liveContinue reading “OMFG, a Roomba”
Why Rob’s not so crazy about me
I have an iguana named Stew. Rob is not as fond of Stew as he is Isis. No kisses, no rubs to the belly. He insists Stew is a boy, but I’ve decided she’s definitely a girl. Rob doesn’t even like to touch Stew, who lives in his computer room because it was the bestContinue reading “Why Rob’s not so crazy about me”
Ebb
Rob thinks I’m going to get fired. Pssh. Impossible. I work very hard when there’s work to be done. I spent eight-plus recent workdays engrossed in InDesign, making our magazine perfect. Everyone’s very happy with it. Unfortunately, now that it’s done, there’s not much other work to do, so I’ve slipped into slacker mode, spendingContinue reading “Ebb”
Another reason I love Rob
He took me to see Weird Al for my birthday, even though he’s not a huge fan. (Neither of those is the reason. The first was a boyfriendly obligation as far as I was concerned, and I knew that he would enjoy the show more than he thought he would.) Al closed with a littleContinue reading “Another reason I love Rob”
