It’s probably not smart to stare at a full moon for five consecutive minutes without being equipped with mystical intention or having incantations in hand. Because the moon is a quietly influential celestial body. Yet, last night I simply couldn’t look away, feeling safe and uncharacteristically warm inside our shitty apartment. And the moon wasn’t […]

It’s My Birthday and I’m in Space and Won’t Be Able to Make It This Year
My birthday is this week or… technically, it’s at the very beginning of next week. For the record, it’s 10-4… you know, like in the police code. In other words, “OKAY”. I was once in the back of a police car and they said “10-4” and I said, “That’s my birthday!” I love birthdays. And […]
Working from Street: “Dile B for Birder”
So, for two weeks, I’ll be outside. 😺 Long story shorter, a couple months ago my husband @muellerlowlife applied to do a mural for the city of West Allis as part of a project led by Wallpapered City, LLC, a local consultancy firm which sources artists for large-scale murals.

Security Bot, Ken, Having a Hard Time Like the Rest of Us
I think our security bot Ken is feeling insecure. He can join the club. Or maybe it’s just Monday again and, while reliable, its arrival doesn’t help morale. It’s especially weird because I don’t even have a “regular weekday work schedule” so I have no idea what my problem with this day is. Last week […]
Moving Out and We Took the Haunted Mirror With Us (To Goodwill)
Right. So, we started to pack up to ship out. The haunted house had won. Well, it wasn’t as much the weird happenings as much as the whole thing about my mom living her last days and dying in our house. The latter factor was a big one as we didn’t want to continue to […]
