birth day.
on my birthday there was this lovely bathtub that i rhapsodized about here and here.
on the morning of my birthday i woke up and my sister was still asleep and my parents had gone downstairs to the farmer’s market they have on winter saturdays at the asylum and so i decided to take a (second) bath. about halfway through my mom came home (back, i guess, it wasn’t home. but it felt like...

i am as constant as the northern star / constantly...
the funny thing about this is that i thought “it’s a comfort that listening to this song late at night is a constant in my life,” before i noticed the unintentional play on words. while i’m not working on what i should be but doing what i should be in a bigger sense, thinking the same things i’ve thought for years, but differently, because i think that’s how it...

Your site is awesome and so are you. Advertise in places where parents of small children frequent. Post business cards and flyers. Contact a local parenting blog or listserv. Great for indoor winter birthday parties, right? :) Good luck.
thank you so much! and those are all good ideas!

Um, see… another reason to live in Texas? We have a gazillion events for kids and since I’m on the Disney account, many events require face painting. Seriously, I should get you the Chicago peeps contact info. I’ll look for it tomorrow at work.

the thing about parks and rec
is that every week i’m like “that was the best episode ever!” but i don’t mean that it was better than all of the ones that came before, i just mean that every single episode is LITERALLY the best episode ever.

i have had several math teachers who could not be picked out of a lineup with the lady who thinks leslie is “aggressively short.”

like…uh. i feel like there’s a semiotics issue here. that neither “gay marriage” nor “paganism” mean the same things to newt as what they mean to the actual people involved. like, yes, i get that “pagan” is a go-to word for anyone talking about not-christianity, basically, but. i’ve never loved that? as a pagan person?

shows kids at work, kids having a first kiss, and “kids” (like…17 year olds) blowing bubbles and lighting sparklers in a field and spinning, and calls it a “day they’ll never forget.”

i had a meeting about my thesis with my professor at three and it was great and quick and helpful and i came home ready to jump into BIG THOUGHTS and instead i’ve only written 300ish words of notes and spent 2 hours on the internet.

downloading a time logger for my iphone (which is still so weird by the way. i feel like an asshole whenever i talk about my phone, but it’s super magical and i get it now.) has really confirmed that the way i use my time is really fractured and weird.
it also seems like i spend ALL DAY commuting to and from school, when it’s usually like an hour total.

the whole point of W.A.S.M and his ilk is that you don’t ask them out. you don’t even see them except when you absolutely must (i.e. when your chai cravings overpower all rational bank-balance-related thoughts). you maintain an almost-imaginary relationship that is so victorian in its...
i’ve seen so many people lately with shiny shiny shiny short grey nails.
waaaaaaaaaaant.
wildly attractive starbucks man totally smized/smirked/smoldered at me today the whole time he was trying to figure out my order.
i wonder what my face was doing.

first, i truly believe that someone has to coerce fellowes into including any edith scenes at all, at this point. or at least forcibly remind him that she’s part of the household and brings depth to our understanding of the crawleys’ family dynamic and she occasionally should get to do more than smile knowingly in the background. indignation on edith’s behalf FOREVER, though...

Relevant.
With their endless appetite for talk and attention, extroverts also dominate social life, so they tend to set expectations. In our extrovertist society, being outgoing is considered normal and therefore desirable, a mark of happiness, confidence, leadership. Extroverts are seen as bighearted, vibrant, warm, empathic. “People person” is a compliment. Introverts are...
