Seventeen days. It’s further than I’ve gotten on a diet before.
I’m going to try nutrisystem in a week or two. Meal replacement worked pretty okay for me, though the meals in question were terrible. Weight Watchers was way too loosey-goosey for me at this point in the game. Maybe someday.
I don’t know if I’m going [...]

Missing: One Muse
Posted in Uncategorized on December 21, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
Most people frame their sorrow in terms of darkness. I think of it as a light, stark and unrelenting; a desert in which life exists not because of the environment but in spite of it. It is hot, stifling, suffocating. One wishes for the dark of night, the cold reprieve where venomous creatures in determined [...]
I miss my grandpa.

He died three years ago this fall.
He was a real son of a bitch, you know? He had some really shitty personality traits and he wasted a lot of his life – and his family’s lives – on alcoholism (which he eventually ‘recovered’ from). But he was a good guy, too, in a lot of [...]

My mother is going into surgery on Monday.
It’s a gastric bypass, which is elective and yet somehow has become necessary.
I have a lot of misgivings about it. I mean, this is my mom. It’s not just that we’re close; I need my mother in a way most people don’t need their parents. That’s hard to [...]
Dear Best Buy

I am writing to tell you about my recent visit to Best Buy, store #534. It was a fairly momentous one. The tale before you is long, but I promise there’s a point to it.
For several years, I’ve been very happy to do almost all of my electronics shopping at Best Buy. From something as [...]
“You’ll know.”

This phrase pesters me. People use it all the time, they probably don’t even realize how much. You’ll just know. Whatever it is, you’ll know it when you encounter it. Whether it giving directions on how to find a local franchise of something or another, falling in love, hitting your g-spot, the act of finally [...]
