A couple or three old stories and musings on creative direction for my writing career
So, an hour ago when I was stuck in the line-up for the McDonald’s drive-thru, I had a brilliant idea of how to start this blog, but now it’s all gone. Oh well. Can’t have been all that brilliant, I guess. I think it had something to do with...
Poem: Slingbacks
strappy polka dot stilettos the better to walk all over with no time for argument hateful glares from old hags —no matter the age— in their ugly dirty sneakers and clumsy orthopedic shoes wistful glances from husbands remembering when their wives still wore heels still cared to turn them...
Zone 2, ball-smacking, and reblooms
Funny, this is the second week in a row where my first draft of this post ended up being a tangent that I instead made into its own post for later in the week. So, tomorrow there will be a long ramble on my thought process in trying to...
Friday Fashion/Beauty: Online shopping ramble
So… about that whole “buy less but buy better” thing… in the short term it sure can look like “buy more.” Maybe that’s just me, lol… but in any case, there’s been some good sales around so I now have 3 blazers en route, a skirt, a dress, and...
Monday Memorabilia/Collections: Mötley Crüe picks
I’ve had these for years and I think I posted the Tommy Lee one (from one of his solo tours) a while back, but they caught my eye so they’re this week’s memorabilia post: And the flip sides: And, of course, Tommy Lee… classy as ever: I have a...
Poem: Druid
eyes dark and narrow as the slotted paths allowing entry to the thickets sacred groves of our shared ancestry as as full of mystery to me, a pagan amongst pagans how strange to hear your siren song now a lifetime on but then I never listened to the voices...
Island View Beach and a whole lot of meh and rambling
What was I up to this week… well, I did start a little bit of bushwhacking in the veggie garden, eliminating a lot of the overgrowth in the tomatos bed and finding a cluster of ripe and delicious cherry tomatos buried in the middle of it all. That was...
Monday Memorabilia/Collections: U2.IE tour program
Usually when I get new additions to my memorabilia collection, I slap it in the Saturday life update blog, but I was thinking I should do a weekly blog on that stuff. Not everything will be something I just got, because I have various collections that have been ongoing...
Poem: Froth
bubble bath foams up around my elbows I read but am thinking elsewhere putting on a bubbly façade to mask the stony front walls I keep up washed with cold sea froth as surely as the hot steam sweats the lies out of my head...
Hummingbirds, mulching, TV/DVD set up issues
Well, it’s that time of the week again: time for another vapid life update blog. Shortly before writing this I was chatting with my brother as he looked out at the front garden. Close to the window is the hummingbird feeder I mentioned before, so I asked my usual...
