The Effexor really does have an odd effect on my dreams. It’s not, however, that they are “weird” per se–they’re always weird, of course. I don’t know that they could get much weirder in any dimension, and while they seem marginally more coherent now, such things are too subjective to say with any confidence–it’s not […]
I am vindicated. Absent any available surface, the beak of a duck decoy is highly effective for hanging underwear to dry. (You can actually dry three thongs on a sufficiently large decoy! Woot!)
A fortune cookie told me, some weeks ago, that luck would come to me at the next full moon. On the one hand, I am a die-hard skeptic, rational to a fault and positively snide regarding baseless superstition. On the other hand, at that point, I was down, out, in desperate need of luck, and […]
Yesterday evening, I went over to Lake Crabtree and went walking. The fields are full of swamp sunflowers, the sunflowers are full of bees and butterflies, the sun was setting across the lake in that crazy fuscia-red shade, the herons were striding grimly through the marsh, and it was just…perfect. A single perfect gem of […]
So there I was, in the parking lot of Staples, bending over to shove my purchases into the back of my faithful Nissan, when it happened. The ripping sound. The jagged tear of denim. The sudden sense of my hind end being rather better ventilated than before. The sensation was both horrifying and immediately familiar, […]
So last night, I went to a fetish party. This is not something I normally do, but what the hell. A buddy of mine had offered to act as my mobile shield wall/native guide, and while you can accuse me of many, many things, lack of curiosity is not among them. The reasons I wanted […]
My doctor warned me that Effexor would give me weird and vivid dreams. I patted her hand and said “Believe me, I’ll never even notice…” And indeed, my dreams are always so weird that I can’t tell if there’s been any influence. Last night I wandered a post-nuclear holocaust set of buildings overrun by jungle […]
I have an apartment! Woot! I don’t get to move in for another month, but at least hope hoves into view on the horizon. Bigger than my last place, same rent. It’s actually got a “dining room” where I can hopefully erect my computer/studio, possibly freeing up the bedroom to be merely a bedroom, a […]
Internet’s been sporadic of late–my laptop flatly refuses to function with Deb’s network, forcing me to piggyback on unsuspecting wireless networks in the neighborhood, and now at last to go to Mr. Toad’s. (I am forced to update Digger via flash-drive and coffee shop. It’s like the dark ages!) Got my car back yesterday. (Sweet, […]
