This morning, while stomping around the house stark naked and in search of a bra, I walked over to the dining room table where I had a stack of folded laundry from the night before. I bent down to pick up a black t-shirt from the top of the stack when I noticed that something was moving. Staring back at me was the fattest, brownest cockroach I have seen in days. (Last week, while throwing pottery a massive one ran by and Toby was asked to put it out of our misery with a sack of unmixed clay.) I totally freaked out and ran into the bedroom all the while holding onto my bare boobs. I tried to speak but nothing was coming out. Finally, I managed to say something.
Kill that fucking thing. Roach on t-shirt. Kill it.
Apparently, I have two real fears; flying and roaches. And I’m pretty sure if you combine the two, I would have an aneurism.

Sometimes, I am suddenly rendered speechless when, as I’m sitting behind my computer contemplating what I might like to eat for dinner, it occurs to me once again that there are men and women living on a space station.

Last year, we were in San Francisco at the time of the Gettysburg Apple Festival. This year, I’d like to attend. We went to the one two years ago and had a great time in spite of the fact that we had a most horrible meal at a local “5 star” restaurant. But the festival was fun and the Gaslight Inn was lovely. Anyway, I think I will treat us both this year in celebration of the day we met (October 11th).

I have lost 16 pounds in a little over two months. I hit my first goal in weight loss about a week ago and even though I promised myself a smorgasbord of fatty foods and treats once doing so, I can’t seem to bring myself to do it. Maybe upon completing my final goal. Who knows. Technically, I have 9 more pounds I’d like to lose. But I’d be happy with four.

Today, I felt a moment of joy towards all humanity. Now, the question is, is it true this time? Do they mean it? If so, why now?

I wrote some of this post yesterday after work. After pottery class, I finished it. This morning at around 8:30 AM, I put it live. I left the apartment to head to work. At 8:35 I called Toby from the corner and told him to turn it off. I guess I didn’t like the way it sounded in my head, after the fact. I got to the subway at around 8:45 and then I read When Friends Fail You, an article featured in todays’ NYT. I took it as coincidence enough to make it live again.

I hold grudges. I’m not sure when this began, but I do. I hold grudges. I don’t hold that many. And I’m not even sure I can justify the ones I do hold. But I hold them. I hold just enough to go without dropping them. They’re not heavy. They’re just there.

Recently, Toby had this idea of giving people a given number of times they can visit a site during a given amount of time. Eventually, should they lurk too much and not contribute to any given post but instead silently read and probably silently judge, (I’m paranoid and menstrual), the text would slowly begin to disappear. This idea made me laugh for two reasons: One, it’d be funny to see who might be driven to go away from a site forever and who might actually leave a comment from time to time. (Gerry, I’m talking to you.) Two, I also found this funny because he CAN actually do this. I married not only a total nerd, but a nerd with a vengeance.

Just purchased two tickets to see Clap Your Hands and Say Yeah at Warsaw in Brooklyn. I had no idea they were playing tomorrow night. I also had no idea it was sold out. Ah well. I can wait.

Just purchased two wonderful tickets to see Songs: Ohia at South Paw in Brooklyn on the 18th of August. I freaking love this man/band. Jason Molina once inspired a mihow post about how much I adore my then boyfriend, now husband. He’s also gotten me through countless bouts with depression and numerous bus rides to and from places I’d much rather be right now.
