If You Multiply A Cow By A Melon, Is The Answer Pink?

I am off to New York City tonight for my annual east coast trip. Well, annual since I stopped living there anyway. And it’s thunderstorming there. Every evening. This must be what fans feel like when a sporting event gets rained out.
I have realized that besides the pay check, the only reason I go to [...]

Blogless For The Week

I haven’t been blogging because I don’t have internet in the new apartment yet. Sure, I could blog from work as I am doing now, but this is not exactly an inspiring environment. Someone recommended the other day that I get into fashion design just because I dress well. That’s the kind of thought process [...]

I Am Here In My Mold, But I’m A Million Different People

This past week has been quite eventful. At work, I have been in the middle of a major showdown with one of my project managers over his demands that I: a) Work east coast hours every day for the duration of the project (one year), even though I am located on the west coast, b) [...]

College Redux

M is coming to visit! From Puerto Rico! That means we get to relive the good part of the college experience. And, I get to yell at her some more for the way her people voted yesterday.
Taffy Stuck and Tongue Tied

I’m Gonna Need A Better Reason To Write You A Love Song Today

Here are random updates from my life that nobody asked for:
I caved. I bought skinny jeans.
—————
It turns out, “export quality” Indian mangoes are fuckall. At least the ones being exported to the US are. That probably explains the improbable incident of the skinny jeans.
—————
I finally watched Persepolis. It’s one of the best animated movies I [...]

236688 Hours

236688 hours. Countless breaths wasted. Number of times I said I was going to jumpstart my life: easily over fifty. Number of times I actually did it: maybe two. We are all clichés - unless you consider a sociopath being born to a sociopath an extraordinary occurence. What separates us is the degree of our [...]

Prologue To The End Of The Game

The observant sort will notice that the NaBloPoMo ‘07 badge has been replaced by an Obama ‘08 badge. The non-observant sort: don’t feel bad, you’re probably good at sports. Part of the reason for the replacement was that WP won’t let me have more than two of those widgets, and the O one is far [...]

These Are A Few Of My Favorite Things…

Kitten heels: The comfort of flats, the grace of heels. Why would you need anything taller? (Shorties need not answer.)
Chili chocolate: Only when done right. I’m delighted to see that Lindt has finally brought this most traditional—and arguably, most delicious—form of chocolate to the US. Before that, it used to be a hit or miss [...]

Volver

I look down
And see the hands of an old woman
The gash in the middle finger
Blends in with the wrinkles
Your neglect of the blood flowing
Washes away with the rain
This city looks familiar in its ruins
These walls without earthworms crawling through them
Too dry and too firm to stir up memories of childhood
No monsters performing reality in the [...]

The Thing Is…

The thing is, my dear phoney, I really and truly don’t care. And every time I have an encounter with someone like you, I realize what a privilege that is. The not caring bit, not the encounter. I cannot fathom what drives you to pretend that you like someone when you really don’t. Pretend that [...]
