42.

If you don’t get the title and want to, Google it. If you find audio, keep in mind that it’s Billy Mumy (Lost in Space original series, Babylon 5) singing. Be afraid. Be very afraid. Sometimes you see something and you know that you are destined for it. I saw Yetzirah’s fish, and I knew….

• 1 jigger bourbon • 1 tablespoon mild honey • 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice • 1/4 cup boiling-hot water Last night I substituted Splenda for the honey, since that is what I had in the house. It doesn’t cure the common cold, but it sure makes you care less about it. The cold has…

This is in reference to comments to my last rambling update. I’m too lazy to write the term paper. The details are here (it will open in a new window). It’s hard to believe that the Pilgrims were extremists in this religious climate, and left to form an even more strict church.

If one is tuned to the Soft Rock “Sounds of the Season” station on cable, is one watching television, or listening to music? It hardly matters; the sound track sucks either way.

Her coat is growing in beautifully, and once again I am allowing myself to dream that we can start doing cultures to see if the ringworm has cleared. The veterinary dermatologist we’re using said if she’s still good Monday, we can start. This is…

I’m sitting here at Big Name Book Store behind the charity gift wrap table. I am by myself. That’s pretty nearly literal, as the store is nearly devoid of customers. At least half of the non-employees who are here are located in the café drinking stuff out of tall white paper cups with sippy lids…

It seems to me that the problem with diaries, and the reason that most of them are so boring, is that every day we vacillate between examining our hangnails and speculating on cosmic order. – Ann Beattie I’ve been lodged on hangnail mode for months now, maybe since I was laid off. Part of me…
