Monday, July 12th, 2010At the time of this writing I am thirty-nine years old with yet another toe-dipping into a relationship perhaps best left in the past to my credit – as if I’m not already indebted enough. Unlike others who scratch their conquests in stone or the ever cliché bedpost, I much prefer to gouge a deep [...]
In Which The Misfit Bares Her Soul
Sunday, July 11th, 2010For someone who insists she doesn’t need to be in a relationship, I spend an awful lot of time thinking about them. When I was in college working on my BA, I took a Creative Non Fiction course, which I loved. It didn’t take me long to discover that much of what I wrote concerned [...]
The Plot Thickens…
Monday, September 28th, 2009Okay… So if the skull that the soviets have had since 1945 – and was touted as Hitler’s skull – actually belongs to a woman who was younger than 40, and if it doesn’t belong to Eva Braun who, rumor has it, died by ingesting cyanide, I’m left with two questions: 1. Who’s skull is [...]
8 Years Later
Friday, September 11th, 2009When the QM2 was sailing into port in the wee hours of 4 September 2009, the Manhattan Skyline illuminated everything around it. Conspicuously missing, of course, were the twin towers – a gaping wound in the skyline welcoming me home after my year abroad. I thought about September 11th 2001, where I was, what I [...]
As If We Needed More Proof
Tuesday, August 11th, 2009Here’s yet another example of PETA’s absolute ridiculousness. Idiots and hypocrites. That may be the only thing to say without resorting to using profanity, which would be what I really want to say about them.
The Deed Is Done
Sunday, August 9th, 2009No, I didn’t stab anyone. Or commit hari-kari. Both of which I thought about occasionally, but if I’d acted on either thought I’d either A) be in jail or B) be dead, which means I’d have no internet access and wouldn’t be writing this blog. The deed is my dissertation. It’s done. Complete. Finish. It’s [...]
Well, Things Just Might Change
Tuesday, July 28th, 2009I’ve never donated a dime to my alma mater. Not a penny. Every “gift request” gets either thrown in the trash (if received via pony express) or deleted (if received via email). Immediately. This was for a number of reasons: One – I was never happy with how the former President of the College spent [...]
Thoughts for a Tuesday
Tuesday, July 21st, 20091. I’m down to 23 days to finish my dissertation. I’m on the tale-end of a complete chapter re-write with two more edits to do plus write my Introduction and Conclusion. I wonder if I’ll make it. 2. Why does “Baby Got Back” always manage to get stuck in my head? 3. Why did I [...]
This Is It…
Tuesday, July 14th, 2009The end stretch – I have officially completed drafts for all of my chapters (4 of them), and have now begun working on my re-writes. I know this dissertation is not going to turn out the way I’d originally planned, but that’s typical. I still need to write my Introduction and Conclusion, so I need [...]
That Red Stain On The Wall…
Friday, July 10th, 2009Is the remains of my head having exploded.
