Well, this is happening much sooner than I’d hoped, but…help?

I’ve been keeping Jennifer and Erin updated on my situation, because they specifically requested it, and because, frankly, it’s easier to write a personal message to someone right now than to write a blog post.

But write a blog post I must, because the shit? Has hit the fan and covered absolutely everything.

I messaged [...]

My thoughts (all of them) on the Boston Bombing, because I need to get this out.

First of all, I would like to say that I’m just as pissed as many of my friends that this happened, that I would like to see the living brother tortured for the rest of his days for what he took part in. My anger is real, it’s strong, and it’s not going away anytime [...]

Don’t cross me, Internet.

It’s been one of THOSE days.

The days where you’re awakened by a phone call with bad news (even if it’s an answer you’ve been waiting for…it’s never fun to be told that your thyroid and hypothalamus have both just stopped giving a shit with regard to your T3 levels, and that your adrenal glands [...]

I’m sorry, I just have to get this out.

I think I’ve made it clear that I’m sick right now. Not the Lyme thing (because OBVS), but with this sinus-infection-turned-bronchitis.

I called the newer NP that my doctor’s office has put me with on Friday (she’s the one who was so helpful on Wednesday – you know, with all of the unnecessary tests? and [...]

Morbid curiosity + twisted sense of humor = therapy.

I have two external hard drives. On one, there is basically a history of my time since I began using the internet, continuing until I got divorced. On the other is my history since then. The first one is substantially more full, but only because there’s much more music on it, and so much less [...]

Call and response.

Someone who used to be a very dear friend of mine posted the following in a public forum, this morning (I broke it up because it was a giant wall of text…I guess for impact purposes):

Last night I was down in the city with my fiance and his mother and stepdad, who are visiting [...]

So, according to Arizona…

…every woman who crosses the state line could be pregnant at any time, without knowing it. Seriously…think about it. If she has sex, no matter where she is in her cycle, she’s just risked having a 2-week-old fetus (by the definition of this law) MAGICALLY IMPLANTED into her uterus.

Dear World,

What is it with [...]

“Legitimate rape”? Are you kidding me?

Jezebel pretty much covers the snark portion of this situation, so I’ll leave that to them.

You guys want to know why I’m not talking about politics, anywhere?

THIS IS WHY.

BECAUSE EVERYONE IS A MORON IN AN ELECTION YEAR, MORE SO THAN USUAL.

Yes, “everyone.”

Have you ever heard of “magical thinking”? It’s very [...]

Oh, life.

So I haven’t posted about this because I’ve been caught up with my cat, the death of a fellow opera singer, my nephew (who’s reached the age where farts are just the most spectacularly funny things, ever), and the usual crap, but a little over a week ago, I found out where my rapist works, [...]

Adventures in price-gouging.

Okay, so long lead-in short, I have to buy at least one new tire, probably two, since I had a flat and a sorta-flat tire yesterday evening. The flat is in the trunk, with a donut in its place, and the sorta-flat has been filled, and we’re assuming it’s due to me parking the car [...]
