I think I may be slowly going crazy

So, my dreams have taken a decided turn for the crazy the past couple of nights. Friday night there was one about zombie skeletons trapped in a shopping mall/airport/motel/mansion having something to do with a family business in honey. Then last night, I had a dream in which the place where I lived and/or worked read more

Cold

So, my skin is very very dry and itchy. Why? Because the weather has taken a turn for the drastic cold and dry here.  The highs have been around 20 below zero and the lows have been around 30 below.  With the windchills, its been -50 to -60.  Today, I stood in the freezing cold read more

Statement Of Intent

As a child, one of my favorite books was Barbara Cooney’s “Miss Rumphius”.  Set in my home state of Maine, it challenged the reader to do three things with their life:  travel and see the world, come home and grow old by the sea, and, the most important, do something to make the world a read more

Nothing in Particular and Everything in Between

I draw pretty pictures sometimes.  I did this weekend.  I find its good backup to have when I’m watching movies, because my mind wanders anyway, depending on the film.  Last night we ended up watching Where The Heart Is, which was cutesy fluffiness, with the unlikely and slightly weird hero sweeping the beautiful woman into read more

Think I’m Going For a Walk Now Feel a Little Unsteady

Sorry for the lack of real update lately, there’s been some excessive tumult in my family, which I will not be posting here for privacy reasons.  I’m just not down with putting my complete soul out there on display online, even though I’m pretty sure I know everyone who’s ever read this thing (but then, read more

Mad World

My brain is whirling at a million miles a minute, its been a long monday, full of weird twists and turns.  Nothing hugely off-kilter, I’m just off enough that it doesn’t take a lot to ruffle my feathers.  Quite irritating to me, it is.  Tomorrow will be better, because I have a nice warm bed read more

Baby, Show Me What You Look Like Without Skin

So, thinking and I are not always friends.  I think far too much, which leads to the third post in one day when I’ve barely posted in the last month.  How’s that for regularity?  I’ve been distancing myself from people lately…I barely spend time with anyone outside of class other than Jessica right now, because read more
