Milestones

If You Could See Me Now

I went to the middle of nowhere to get away from it all. I’m back in the District. Sebastian gets to wear a bandana around his cute little puppy neck now, he’s earned it– he’s a good country dog. He had a puppy play date with Caroline’s doggie Annabelle, and he is smitten with her….

Napkins

My mother, being both sentimental and batty, insisted on purchasing holiday eating utensils at every oppertunity. Every Thanksgiving, along with the stuffing and the jiggly canned cranberry, we had cartoon turkeys on nonlinen linens. Christmas had wrapping paper and hollyberry bev-naps. The plates, cups, and especially napkins were purchased for anniverseries and birthdays, halloween and…

Stencil Madness!

Ahoy Hoy! Sebastian Cole takes after his daddy more and more every day. Aside from runnin’ all goofy-like, he also has an interest in gardening. Yes, little Bashers decided that he just couldn’t stand my schaflera tree any longer and decided to dig it up. Seven and a half gallons of potting soil later, my…

Doesn’t Fatty Pride Month Deserve a Parade?

Mark and I shook out the shag rugs today. On my corner. You have to go outside for an event like that, regardless of where you live, but in the country its much easier. Your back yard distinctly belongs to you and only you, but here in the district my back yard is the neighborhood’s…

(no title)

So, its not the weed. Its the email. Mickey Mouse is only gonna be in town for 5 more days. Thats a little disappointing, its been nice having 75 of his likenesses runnin’ around. They’ve all kinda denned up over at the Reagan building, which hosts the outdoor dance party I like so much. It…

Stoner Envy

4/20 has come and gone, ya’ll. I hope everyone celebrated well. The 420 High Council convened, but no new decrees were set or smote. Biotech Companies are thinking about pharming underground in caves. I find it one part facinating and one part shit-tasticly creepy. Before Trev[PaEx] moved to Shippensburg from Harrisburg, we spent probably four…

K Has a BDay

Yesterday was Nill’s birthday. Kind souls that Nills and Lee are, they invited the 14th Street Christian Youth Association (read: Caitlin, Ashley, Jeremy, and I) over for Tapas. In true fourteenth street fashion we arrive noticably late for a guest list that only plus-one’d one more– Miss Maria. Thankfully, fatties need not be worried, the…

Bad Dreams

I woke up just now very upset… I had a very vivid dream that I forced myself out of. The dream starts in an apartment, and someone in that apartment is telling me how truly talented people are always crazy. He then began discussing a woman who could speak french, and then about this same…

Toi-lets

So, today was eventful for no good reason. I spent the day before yesterday with Dave Atell and random drunkeness– can’t complain, after all the man has a TV show. I certainly don’t. That bein’ said, tonight was a drunken revelry of a great magnatude… Especially because Mel and I spent the end of the…

Emotion, Devotion, Causing a Commotion

And a God Descended Dar Williams Step through this trampled wallThe unhinged door betrays it allThat far within our faith we were all waiting The broken glass reflects the hazeIt shines like endless holy daysStruggling to remember what they’re celebrating Well, a God descended And the reason ended His life was lifted just above the…
