  • The Contents Of Mihow: An Autobiography of songs (Version 2.0)

    I had just moved to New York City all by my big self. I got an apartment in Brooklyn. I worked for a crazy lesbian woman at a design studio in Mid-town, a block from Penn Station. I didn’t fit in. But that had nothing to do with my sexual orientation. I didn’t like going…

  • One Weak.

    We’ve been here for one week’s time. As of yesterday evening actually. I was offered a job yesterday. At first, I was overjoyed with having them interested. And for the most part, I still am. I have gone on two interviews with them. The first one went smooth as pie and I liked both individuals…

  • Objects in mirror are closer than they appear.

    Today, there are numerous people trickling in from out of town for Toby and my post-wedding/now going-away party. And I’m excited. Even though I anticipate crying often, realizing this is the last time I’ll see many of them for a while. I always cry. I cried last night during ER (again). I just really dread…

  • Finding My Wa.

    Last night Toby and I went out for dinner with Keith and Marjorie. Keith has a PhD in Philosophy from Columbia University. Marjorie is a doctor. Toby is a programmer. I am a graphic designer. This information is totally irrelevant. Last night, after we had dinner, the three of us headed over to The Reef…

  • You Can Count on No.

    Due to spreading myself too thin and my total inability to use the word “No.” I have managed to confuse and/or create new and uncomfortable relationships up and down the U Street/Logan Circle/Dupont Circle area. The Gap-wearing hippies I mentioned some time ago (you know the ones who have asked for 6 revisions and have…

  • Here's to my new boobs.

    For the past week, I have spent much of the time going back and forth between wanting to take a full time job (which was offered to me without my asking), wanting to stick to running my own business and relaxing a bit (once this crazy semester ends), and wanting to pack everything up and…

  • State College

    Toby and I are visiting good ol’ State College tomorrow. We’re going to see the Graphic Design department at Penn State put on their annual Film Follies. That should be fun. I wonder if anyone from my class will be there. I think Toby is only going to play pool with Todd at the Garage…

  • What good can come from this?

    Well, we have finally signed a contract regarding our post wedding party. And go figure, we’re only four months late. Nothing says we’re married! like a four-month old newsletter. Another job on mihow’s list: Design Invitations Immediately. (Only question is, what are they to be? I’m a designer. That means I have to design and…

  • The Contents of mihow: An Autobiography of Songs (Day Five)

    I’m 6. I’m in our brown, custom-designed van, wall-to-wall carpeting, lights everywhere. I can stand up, proper, without touching the ceiling. I am pleased by this ability until I realize it means I’m smaller than my brother, whose head hits it. It doesn’t matter anymore anyway because ever since battery acid leaked in the van…
