“I wrote a good omelet…and ate a hot poem…
after loving you
Buttoned my car…and drove my coat home…in the
rain…
after loving you
I goed on red…and stopped on green….floating
somewhere in between…
being here and being there…
after loving you
I rolled my bed…turned down my hair…slightly
confused but…I don’t care…
Laid out my teeth…and gargled my gown…then I stood
…and laid me down…
to sleep…
after [...]
I’ll be 29 in a few (solid) months and it’s time to make the generic “Before 30″ list. I’m disgusted with myself.
However.
It is a good way to get shit done. And I respond really, really well to lists and directions.
It’s also late, I’m tired, and I really just wanted to get the idea started before [...]
This struck me:
“Once upon a time, Aristophanes relates, there were gods in the heavens and humans down on earth. But we humans did not look the way we look today. Instead, we each had two heads and four legs and four arms - a perfect melding, in other words, of two people joined together, seamlessly [...]
1. Today, my work friendys and I are flyering the neighborhood in which our school resides. I’m super excited to go into the buildings of our students all voyeuristic-like. Oh, yeah. And to spread the good word about our school. That too.
The stories (and sounds) that come out of the projects are pretty staggering - [...]
Tonight, the city pauses for its first snowfall of the year.
Six inches are expected and, for me, that means it is the perfect night to stay in. Though I will say that I’m astonished at the temps back home and how uncomfortably low they are, people in New York are taken aback whenever I complain [...]
I’m sitting on the couch in my apartment, wrapped in a plush blanket and watching the Twins. I’m such a fair-weather fan; I only watch when they’re on the brink of something exciting.
But, the joy of it is all part of another weekend in New York. Weekends are very important here. Not for rest and [...]
Almost done decorating my bedroom…
The headboard still seems out of place, but… eh.
I decided that the painting is my Fa Mulan, warrior woman. To give strength. And to justify the purchase.
I’m pretty sure I can hear her singing, “Whooo is that girl Iiiii see? Staring straight back at me. When will my reflection show who [...]
Minneapolis’s Pride celebration was this weekend. A good time had by all.
It was about 3 am and we were walking back from dancin’ our hearts out at the Saloon when a screeching noise from the road got our attention. Car accident?
Close, but not quite.
Instead we saw an ambulance - lights off - charge ahead and [...]
“Kiss Me Through the Phone” used to get under my skin.
But.
Like all really bad songs, it grew on me. Love it now. Makes me feel all bouncy.
Just thought I’d share.
Fortunately AND unfortunately, several of my friends are going through icky, icky break-ups right about now. The kind that just make your stomach twist. The kind that make you second-guess commitment.
Annnnnyway. Music. It’s my therapy. So, just in case there are others out there infected by this freakin’ epidemic, here’s a decent “Screw you/I am [...]
