An e-mail I recieved at work
Subject: In honor of Administrative Professionals Day – everyone wins! In honor of Administrative Professionals Day, denim day will be in effect for tomorrow. Be sure to thank your fellow admin co-workers (and ____ _____, in particular) for this wonderful privilege. My soul then folded in on itself from sheer lack of hope for the [...]

Sleater-Kinney is totally the best.
I have decided that Sleater-Kinney are probably my most favorite band ever. A lot of rock critics have written really interesting and wonderful things about them, but I’m just going to tell you that this is the music that I put on headphones at work when I am disillusioned with just about everything, and also [...]

Playing with Google maps . . .
The world looks better right side up . . . My apartment complex. Ridgewood Village. I used to think that the name was stupid because it wasn’t on the ridge of anything. Then I realized that we are in fact just on the ridge of the freeway. A small concrete stream with no water runs [...]

Writing is work!
I gave up reading about the comic book industry for Lent, which sounds really lame, but it was taking up at least an hour of my day, every day, and for the most part completely unnecessay. I wasn’t surprised to find that I hadn’t missed much when I checked back after Easter. The only really [...]

To everyone who may have thought I was going to Alaska in a month: I guess I’m not!

Auferstehung (this is part 2)
A friend called me last night after reading that last entry, afraid I had either turned emo, or was feeling like ending it all, which makes me feel like perhaps I overdid the drama just a bit. So let me put it this way – on that day I was feeling a fraction of the [...]

Apokalipsis
I confess that sometimes I cannot wait for the end of the world. Because the world is nothing but vanity. So many people tuned out and stuck following patterns, chasing after the wind, in cycles of self-involved, selfish boredom. Self-imposed apathy. And meanwhile wars are raging and people are starving, and all around me everyone [...]

Superstar Judas
A little while back an ancient document containing a manuscript called The Gospel of Judas finally made it into the hands of the sort of people who study translate such things. Although apparently there’s an unwritten rule about making this sort of document available to other scholars and the general public as soon as possible, [...]

Good Friday
Happy Holy Week, all. The light outside my window is lovely . . . too bad my camera has taken a long vacation from the Land of Things That Work . . . they sky is a mix of clear blue and cloudy grey the way it gets when it’s been raining on and off, [...]

Fire Escape Suit(e)
I’m standing on the fire escape on the second (and highest) floor of Roosevelt Hall, because it’s the best place I know on campus to go and think and feel clearheaded. It’s just a small metal platform halfway hidden in the leaves of a wild, skinny tree at the top of a steep metal staircase. [...]
