    Just writing quickly to say: The Giver crushed me. My heart hurts. I will write more about it at a later date. Ouch.

    Back when I was planning what books to read and in what order, I skimmed some of the reviews for Alas, Babylon. I was surprised to see that SO MANY people reread this book every year. I figured they were exaggerating. Why would one do such a thing when there are so many books to read and so little time?…

    I’ve been reading a lot of dystopian – even apocalyptic – literature lately. As I’ve mentioned in the past, I take comfort in this dystopian literature. I used to read a great deal of science fiction as a kid and in my 20s but in the past decade, I’ve avoided genres with too much gravity. I’m not sure what changed…

    Many of my friends on Facebook are aware of the intense hatred I hold toward all things goodie bag. Given what happened on Sunday, I think it’s time for me to vent in long-form. Now, this might become heated and I might upset people and I can already see the retro comments I’ll one day receive, but I don’t care.…

    I had an MRI done on my foot last week. What a strange experience that was. Those machines are enormous. Why does all medical equipment and hospital furniture have to look so similar? The equipment, the chairs, the wall color—even the blankets are the same. Is it because they’re all designed by the same people and then…

    I visited Hart Island this morning. It was my 43rd birthday present to myself. I made the arrangements weeks ago. I knew a little bit about Hart Island before today. I knew that over the course of its long history, it has been: a prison; a boys’ reformatory; a hospital; a psychiatric institution for women; and a tuberculosis sanatorium. I know…

    I know it’s Tuesday, which is usually Murray day, but I had to share this video of my crazy dog. GHOST BOWL from mihow on Vimeo.

    I’ve been training for the DC Half, which is on March 11th. I’d been doing really well. I added hills into my routine in hopes of adding some much needed support muscles. I’m also quite fond of running in the snow, so I bought a pair of Yaktrax. Not that there’s been much snow, but every time it…
