  July 20, 2010

  I was enjoying a movie with a friend the other night when the doorbell rang. Considering how many people live in the house, it’s surprising how rare that is, but since I have a new roommate, and he seemed to be in a social mood, I figured that the visitor was for him. Alas, it…

• Plans and Schemes

  July 18, 2010

  It just occurred to me that all of the things that I want to do right this moment are the things that I never actually get to during my free time. I’d really love to do a large oil pastel drawing, or cull interesting roommate stories from my old journals for that “bad roommate” ...

  Normal 0 false false false MicrosoftInternetExplorer4 I am in a good mood today. I don’t know if that’s really noteworthy, but I wrote it down, so there you go. I am even enjoying the heat and the sun. Incongruously, I want to sit in a dark room and listen to very moody music. I had&h...

• I done clobbered a snake!

  June 29, 2010

  June 26, 2010

   I'm sitting in the dining room; how I've missed it. I've been avoiding the downstairs like the plague lately, but I don't think The Kid is home. Kind of weird, really, to feel limited in the house I've lived in and had free reign in for five years, but I seriously can't deal with him…

• Uncle Calvin

  June 2, 2010

  Two Sundays ago, my mother let me know that my Uncle Calvin was not expected to recover from lung cancer, and that he would be moved into a hospice room and given morphine until the end.  The next morning, mom called to say that Uncle Calvin had passed away. I spent last week (the days,…

• weird, wild stuff

  May 10, 2010

   (Uh, I've been posting at my blog - http://literaryauntie.blogspot.com/ - that's where I've been.)   I have had a strange time lately.    There was a huge factory fire in the town where my family lives – I drove in just in time for it last Friday.  A...
