Streaky Mirror New Year
A few weeks ago I went on a completely compulsive cleaning binge; not one inch of the house was spared. I mopped floors, I washed dishes, I dusted dressers, I scrubbed toilets, all of it, and once I finished, I sat down on the couch and let out a long, satisfied sigh. Later when I… Continue reading

Just the Right Temperature
Upon arriving at work one morning I was immediately sent on a delivery run. I stepped out into the cool-ish fall-ish air, shivered a pampered Southern California shiver, and loaded up the company car. Now, the company car is much newer than mine, as easily demonstrated by the amount of buttons covering the stereo system.… Continue reading

What the Walking Dead Taught Me & Why We’re All Still Doomed
***Warning: Implied spoilers**** I am an avid fan of The Walking Dead, which has surprised me on more than one occasion. You’d think that someone who can’t watch a single horror movie would avoid a show centered around the undead constantly slurping up the intestines of their loved ones, but I tune in every week.… Continue reading

Classic Love Scenes I Couldn’t Be Part Of
When I was little, love to me was like the locked room of my grandparents’ house. I always knew one day I’d have to break down the door with savage curiosity, but until then I’d just sit in the living room watching Growing Pains and eating cottage cheese. As I grew up, I watched a… Continue reading

Sometimes I Find Myself Thinking About Harry Styles
Fact. No, this isn’t where I take you into some weird part of my mind. Things aren’t going to get scandalous or uncomfortable. I just want to know what’s what with the guy, because like most people who know of him, I don’t know him. When you find him in magazines or interviews, people are… Continue reading

Doors Slammed Open
A couple that I work with have a son that stole the hearts of all of our coworkers pretty much the moment he was born. The second he learned how to walk, he was popping in and around our desks, making our communal office space his own personal discovery zone. Some days he’d want to… Continue reading

The Glitter of the World (feat. Taylor Swift & Mary J. Blige)
This past weekend I went to my first ever Taylor Swift show and it was quite different than anything I’d ever been to before. An easy critique would be to say she puts on a good show and clearly enjoys what she does, both of those things are obvious within the first few minutes. The… Continue reading

Pulling Up Weeds
Over the last few weeks, we’ve been doing a lot of remodeling projects at my work—patching, sanding, painting, repainting—and today we started our biggest project yet: repainting the exterior of the building. It’s sure to be quite a task, in fact, with the influx of hell fire heat (it was 105° today!) we might be… Continue reading

Wawohap (The Game with a Gibberish Name)
For as long as I can remember I’ve participated in something I’ve now decided to call the “Wawohap” game. Unfamiliar? Maybe that’s because it’s never had a name until exactly one sentence ago. Wawohap as in “what would happen” is a distant cousin of the “what if” game. You know, that daydreamy game of regret… Continue reading
