I see an 86 year old woman every other day. I’m her companion, so that means I get in, sit down, ask about her day, and then we try to have an organic, stimulating conversation for two hours. It’s great, really. And the nice thing is that we can sit and talk about fabrics, patterns,…

Cats, Death, Sadness, Pain, God?
I like to think I’m practical much of the time. I have bouts of irrationality frequently; my current life/economic/social structural model would be considered incredibly irrational by many of my peers. When it comes down to the big issues, I think I’m doing quite well for myself. My cat’s going to die. At least, we…
The West, America, Urban Loving, Animals
Really, I frequently think about what massive a country we live in and how little I know about what it all is. Flying over places like Nebraska and Kansas is terrifying. Huge crop circles. All corn. So huge there’s no doubt in my mind they have something to do with aliens. I had the pleasure…
HairQueenz, CoupMe, Empty Dreams, Anger and Fruitless Endeavors
So I haven’t exactly had a real outlet for the frustration that ensued a few days ago following an interaction with the most terrible man. I had plans of going to Newbury St. and getting a haircut. I don’t normally do this, I actually never get my hair done because I always hate the way…
A moment with a stranger.
A nerdy asian man and I came at a junction today. He looked at me and I looked at him just like all people do every so often during the course of their days. Some people, and craigslist, call moments like this “missed connections”. I don’t think we need to glorify things like this really….
Technology and Maturity
Two older, mature, ladies are sitting next to me. Both with iPhones. They’re laughing hysterically and looking at a video of a 3 year old breakdancing. I’m looking at them. They notice, look back at me complacently and say, loudly, “have you seen this!! It’s from Collegehumor.com!” I hadn’t. We talked and shared in the…
Yankee Punch Swap
My former boss who still works in the office, so, my co-worker, made a big fuss about us having a Yankee Swap because he thought it would instil animosity within the workplace. Feelings hurt, bruises, negative energy, etc.. Which is silly because we aren’t fourth graders. He also strangely suggested that if we went with…
I Love This Animal
Kitty is the best cat ever. He loves me, doesn’t scratch me when I play with him and he bears a striking resemblance to the chat noir: Not only does he not throw up when you feed him weird stuff. He likes weird stuff. I can feed him salami, rice, vegetables… Even sugar. And he is…
Haven
The coolest thing I can think of is being in a band and playing, in unison, with others…regularly. I especially like seeing how people that are part of a band look at each other. Sometimes it’s annoying and self important which… is still fine because if you’re going to be self important about anything, it…
IM SO EXCITED
I sincerely can’t remember the last time I was this excited. My old roommate from study abroad is visiting our grand city today for work and is leaving tomorrow which means one thing: he gets to hang out with me. Most of our time together was centered around the idea of food: Getting it. Eating…
