Beware the Ides and such…

It’s the beginning of my “fiscal year.” For no good reasons other than a) I feel the need to declare a beginning and ending so that I’ll take the process of becoming independent and self-sufficient a little less chaotically and add more intention and gravitas and general purposefulness to the whole thing as if I’m… Continue reading Beware the Ides and such…

There will be rain at last. The parched desert floor and my sinuses are grateful. I am battling my lack of energy by engaging myself in more projects, both at work and outside of it.

Listening to Rasputina… Continue reading Of Sunday breakfast, Hackintosh Envy and Ian Svenonius

Dishes can wait… 3)We won, we won, we fucking won…I volunteered my time and $5 I couldn’t afford to a candidate that actually… Continue reading Gratefulness: 7 things on a Sunday Morning
