it's a convoluted mess
Three posts in the same month? Don’t get too excited now. I’m just working through my Year In Review bullshit and we’ll be back to my normal bullshit in no time. Week 41… I think. Or the top of 42. Depending on what day I finally hit publish. Whatever. It’s January. It’s a new year. It’s the same shit on a different date. We had sixteen days of vacation, doing our usual of avoiding people,… Keep reading…Look a little bit older…
We went from a Polar Vortex with “historic” wind chills to the snowiest February on record. It’s like after a few weirdly mild winters Minnesota is all ZOMG I REMEMBER HOW TO WINTER GUYS LET ME SHOW YOU IN CASE YOU FORGOT TOO. And everybody is just Slow your roll, FFS. Remember the blizzards you dumped in April last year? We’ve still got two months here for snow to fall. We’re running out of room… Keep reading…Far from over…
Back in my days of Live Journal living, I had half a dozen side journals I played around with. (Give or take. I can’t remember without looking it up and I’m lazy.) On one of them I posted random pictures and my weekly last.fm stats. I tried to recreate that with a subdomain here a few years ago, but it sputtered out pretty fast because I kept forgetting about it. (See also: Lazy) So far… Keep reading…Making it a slow night…
Ever have a house guest that overstays their welcome and just WILL. NOT. LEAVE. Insomnia is an unwelcome house guest that WILL. NOT. LEAVE. I know at least part of it is stress related (OMFG THE NEWS FFS), but I know that’s not the entire cause. I just don’t quite know what the other specific contributing factors might be at this point. FNEH. It’s approaching two in the morning, my room temperature tea is almost… Keep reading…Lack of oxygen…
I’ve lost count how many times I’ve opened up a draft here and stared at the blank, white expanse for an indeterminate amount of time, then proceeded to close out the tab without touching the keyboard. I’ve been hacking and slashing at this post in particular for over a week now. Parts are irrelevant at this point, but it’s six-something in the morning and I’ve been awake since four-ish. Irrelevant sounds perfectly fine at the… Keep reading…Lost a bit of solid ground…
So are we gonna give in? What happens if we fall? — I keep digging around in the drafts folder (20 posts) looking for material to use. There’s this one that I keep circling back to as it’s actually complete, but completely irrelevant. I wrote a whole thing about a couple of story projects that were at the forefront of the moment, and it was a decent, complete post, but I didn’t publish it at… Keep reading…Never been here before…
