it's a convoluted mess
I first started this draft on December 2nd. It has been a slog to fill this thing out. Why do it if it feels like such a chore? Tradition. Normalcy. Because at least it’s writing something. 2026 is the Year of the Horse. Guess who’s excited? Jinx and her buddies are ready to party. 2011 | 2012 | 2013 | 2014 | 2015 | 2016 | 2017 | 2018 | 2019 | 2020 2021 |… Keep reading…A Year in Review…2025…
It is 2025. It has been a quarter of a century since the Y2K panic. Computers didn’t implode the world, but mine did reset to 1980 at the stroke of midnight. Simpler times. 2025 is the Year of the Snake.

My voice sounds like I’ve been smoking for forty years. I am exhausted. Bob is mostly recovered with some residual symptoms. I am on the upswing, but lagging behind. As is usual when we get sick around here. I started working on this survey mid-December… Keep reading…A Year in Review…2023…
2022 CAN BITE ME. Yes, there were good moments and happy things, but God. Fucking. Dammit. The hard things were Really. Fucking. Hard. this year. Pulling this thing together this time has been a much bigger struggle than it really should have been. It feels more pointless than previous years to be doing this mundane survey of banal questions again. But I do it for me and for some tiny shred of normalcy when so… Keep reading…A Year in Review…2022…
Welp. Here we are again. Another year on the books. Another year watching the world burn while people just keep hucking 55-gallon drums of fuel onto the festering inferno. I try really hard to not get lost in the abyss of misery and despair, but PEOPLE DO NOT MAKE IT EASY. I keep trying to filter down the never-ending bombardment of awful, but short of never accessing the internet or exposing myself to other people,… Keep reading…A Year in Review…2021…
Bahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha…hah…hah…hah…SOB. I didn’t know if I would do this year-end survey this time around. It’s been such a flaming, festering, incessantly shitty year. Why would my answers to banal questions have anything to do with anything other than a GLOBAL FUCKING PANDEMIC and every other piece of shit the universe threw out this year? But I am a creature of habit and in dire need of a little normalcy, so here we go. 2021 is… Keep reading…A Year in Review…2020…
