There’s those days of self-pity where you just have to crash out Les Misérables’ I Dreamed a Dream on the piano and make your dog serve as unwilling witness. Speaking of the dog, June Carter Cash has just started eating on her own. This is a revelation. I came home from work late one night […]

The Olympics of Every Day
Another week of being alive! Huzzah! That opening makes it sound like this week’s blog post is going to be exploding with good news and joy. I’ll do my best. Lately, my neurological realities have been on my mind and I’m trying to feel really grateful for the time I have. That’s not meant to […]
COVID and the Saddest Dog in the World
COVID has become a regular part of daily life. We live in a time of plague. Putting on a mask when leaving the house has become commonplace. Not seeing friends and family has become normal. My innate desire to feel repulsion when seeing a large group of people has been allowed to flourish along with […]
When Words Don’t Cover It,1990’s Microsoft Paint Can
Words fail. That kind of thinking is detrimental for a blog.

2020 has not been easy for anyone. After all, even those investors and tech CEOs who made a shit ton of money in 2020 off the public health crisis like war profiteers couldn’t just roll down to their local to get a beer or bottle of Cristal without assuming some risk. Tough times for us […]
Joining the Dark Side
Well, the Bank Doesn’t Care if Your House Is Haunted is available as a lovely little DIY storybook which is printed and assembled here at home and bought through my Etsy shop… and now it’s also available on motherflipping Amazon as an e-book. That’s right, I’m continuing to join the 1990s. One day I may […]
Yahtzee! Finding Medication That Doesn’t Make It Worse
Society has not been kind to epileptics. Society is often a psychotic bully so it’s no surprise. In earlier times, epileptics were worshipped/feared because people thought the seizures were due to gods speaking through a human and, being human, all a human could do was seize in response. But gods didn’t want to talk to […]
