Gotta create a demand curve and read the Constitution
Today at school I learned how to do “yoga sleep.” That is just like regular sleep, but you do it in yoga class. Luckily I don’t snore during yoga sleep, at least (worried Satchel frown) I hope not. For twenty minutes today everyone practiced their yoga sleep; any class with a naptime included is okay … Continue reading
Knock knock I’m a doorknob
I got another place, six blocks away from my last place. Any of you who were too lazy/occupied/abroad to help me move LAST sunday will doubtless be lining up THIS sunday to help me do it again. Those of you who did help (Gene and parents) are off the guilt hook. Those of you who … Continue reading
Oh they’re taking him to prison for the color of his hair
The good news is, I’ll be updating this a lot more frequently than I have been lately. The bad news is, I got evicted and am moving back to PHill for the nonce. Here is how the story goes, and feel free to interrupt with piteous noises at any time: Four days ago, I moved … Continue reading
Home for a pig
I got the place! That one in the picture I posted, with the garden? I got it! Not that it was tough mind you. I showed up in a skirt to my knees with charming father in tow, looking like an All-American Ms. Auto Fair Festival 1956 Queen type, and the opera-singin’, cake-makeup wearin’ landlady … Continue reading
Last one today, I promise.
Hotmail started threatening to delete my inbox stuff, so I took all the messages I’d been saving from my Allen and KTV and Maggie correspondences and set up new hotmail accounts and sent them there to be dealt with at a later date. Hotmail deleted them. These three are brilliant writers of letters, and so … Continue reading
Orrrr…this one!
The landlady just spent ten minutes asking me what classes I’m taking and telling me about every closet in the place, “in case you have a shoe collection like mine.” I think we will get along fine. Provided she likes me, and what’s not to like, eh?
“And the book includes some of my own poetry…”
“Let’s just sit and meditate for a few minutes until everyone arrives,” said my yoga teacher yesterday. A few more people straggled in; I tried not to wish I had a wall to slouch against. “Okay,” said Lawrence-call-me-Lar, “let’s begin. First of all, I always teach with all the lights off” (turns off the lights … Continue reading
Hey, I just washed that hair.
We all know smoking kills you deader than a bask of crocodiles, right? Folks who smoke are one hundred percent victims of good marketing. There is nothing that says “dumb as a bag of hammers” to me like seeing someone light up, so I’m a little disturbed by how many of my people are doing … Continue reading
“Wow,” I thought, “this skirt is so cheap!”
I got slammin’ threads at some lovely little stores called Forever 21, The Gap, and Victoria’s Secret yesterday. Oops. Here’s a fun thing to do: Go to Google and type in the name of your favorite store/clothing brand. Then type “sweatshop.” Sit back and let the fun begin! Suddenly your closet is filled with angry … Continue reading
No spring chicken
Been talking to my uncle on and off for a few days now, as he’s here briefly from Hawaii. Talks like a pirate, some favorite expressions being “aye” and “auh?” What with my preferred affirmative of “yarr,” we are like a whole crew of suburban buccaneers. (Or, spastics.) Yesterday he was telling me about how … Continue reading
