face dive
Sean is flying in tonight to stay with us for Thanksgiving. His plane will be landing some time around eleven o’clock, which means B won’t bring him home from the airport until maybe around midnight, which means I probably won’t see him because I woke up shortly after three o’clock this morning and haven’t gotten… Read.

#blacklivesmatter
I’m face palming over white people snottily responding to #BlackLivesMatter with ALLLIVESMATTER. No, you see, we were JUST told they don’t. – Alisha Rai Read.

super massive snow storm
Just for the record, yesterday we had the first SUPER MASSIVE SNOW STORM OF THE YEAR that everybody talked about as if it was the end of the world, and when we went out to our car at the end of the work day, it turned out there was maybe an inch or two of… Read.

a thousand cuts

Misawa Days
Every so often, out of nothing more than sheer nostalgia, I page back through old journal entries to see what I was doing this time of year when we were living in BLANK. For the past couple of days, I’ve been reading through the stuff I wrote during our first few months in Japan. And,… Read.

wakey waykey
Ugh. I think I’ve been awake all night. I’m not sure, because after midnight all the tossing and turning started to blur together. I was probably dozing off now & again, but it wasn’t enough, so I’ll be depending on caffeine and/or slamming my head into the keyboard to keep me awake at my desk… Read.

Ellen Page
Is there anything more frustrating than trying to remember the name of somebody and not being able to do it? It’s like suddenly losing the power of speech. B and I had been trying to name the actress that was in some movie or another and neither one of us could do it. Two days… Read.
