The coolest thing just happened. Erica text messaged me to say that a friend of hers had come into the tattoo shop, and was wearing a bird’s nest necklace. E. asked if it was one of mine, and the girl said she didn’t know who this Deirdra person was, but EVERYONE asks her that. She [...]
I’m taking a break from feeds, blogs, social networking, etc. until my life is less of an oily, hyper-caffeinated ferret (no offense, Mr. Ham). I’ll be checking email often because my job warrants it, but less regularly than usual. I still need to write up my yoga stuff, but that’s not really blogging. That’s homework. [...]
Good Stuff Anusara Immersion: Bhagavad Gita studies, plus Tattvas next time around. Square Foot Garden: commence! I have 21 plots of forthcoming tastiness, including lots of basil, tomatoes, and chili peppers. Basils, tomatoes and chili peppers rule my summery world. I recently purchased some lovely heirloom tomatoes for eating, and I hoarded the seeds. Since [...]
Happy birthday, wonder girl. I realize you’re very busy sussing out things like breathing and eating and GRAVITY, but hi! Welcome to the world, beautiful girl!!!

My mother (smartmouthed trickster she was) ascribed to the former school, and chose to die on April Fool’s Day eleven years ago. It was an appallingly perfect sunny day. Today, it’s a dreary, miserable day, which [...]
I read too much I Can Has Cheezburger and I Has a Hotdog. This morning, I received an email entitled Mississippi Symphony Orchestra BRAVO! series 25% discount on Saturday dinner. My brain could not process Saturday. It insisted it said Caturday. Folks, I am sick and need help.
I decided to move the majority of my writing from LiveJournal to a proper blog because I disliked the idea of a company being able to censor my opinions, or topics that made their Board of Directors uncomfortable. I, too, am uncomfortable, because I’ve had a LiveJournal account since 2001, and the thought of hauling [...]
When I think of my country, I think of the men and women who said they’d rather do without their tea, without their luxuries, without their necessities and even their lives if they didn’t have a fair say in the way they were treated. I think of the indictment of a terrible tyrant, and the [...]
