The Seven Year Itch

One week remains until the beginning of National Novel Writing Month, and all of my gadgets are trying to explode. Apps are mysteriously disappearing from my phone. My laptop is irritable about basically everything. In what seems to be a grand conspiracy that others in panicked stages of NaNo prep will corroborate, only sweet, welcoming Netflix is working …

Shame

The humans who read this blog have been far kinder about my intermittent updates than wordpress has been. Zero hourly views on average, because you're an ass about updating.

Feigning Diligence

It's October and here I am, excuses in hand and apologies for months of neglect. I've been busy in other things--in addition to my photography (NSFW), I've also launched an Etsy shop called Saint Drusilla. It's mostly knitted goods right now, but I've been busily adding to my stock, drafting patterns, making things, shopping for …

Kunt Fu: The Legend Continues, A Sequel to Bringing Unsexy Back

Within mere hours of posting Bringing Unsexy Back, my mailbox was inundated with people offering words of comfort about how it was only a matter of time before I "get my groove back." Fresh on the heels of my realization that I'm prone to unintentional rudeness, I made every reasonable effort to be polite to these …

A Mid-month Check-in/The Letter

Friends. Things aren't going well. I never set a target word count for April, instead intending to get a workable draft for a collection of short stories and poems, which on the surface seems like a much more forgiving goal. It's not. Word count would have been so much easier; I wouldn't be sitting here side-eyeing …

Bringing Unsexy Back

Somewhere in the midst of entering my thirties, I've unlearned how to be sexy. If men, the ever-present barometer of a woman's attractiveness, are to be relied upon, I've still got the raw materials in place; the problem isn't how juicy my butt looks in yoga pants (answer: the juiciest), but rather the extreme dumb …

We’re the Walking Dead

Hi! This post title is part pandering and part fact; I spent fourteen hours on my couch yesterday doing The Walking Dead marathon leading up to last night's finale, because I was THAT FAR behind in the season thanks to AMC's terrible video on demand options and not having cable when the season began. I feel …

The Fitbit Diaries: Day 16

I’ve hit a fitness plateau, where healthy eating and my typical levels of belligerent self-motivation don’t seem to be cutting it any longer. Maybe it’s turning the corner out of my twenties. Who knows? All I can say is that for some reason, the bright glowing numbers on an elliptical machine display at the gym motivate me …

The Fitbit Diaries: Day 11

I’ve hit a fitness plateau, where healthy eating and my typical levels of belligerent self-motivation don’t seem to be cutting it any longer. Maybe it’s turning the corner out of my twenties. Who knows? All I can say is that for some reason, the bright glowing numbers on an elliptical machine display at the gym motivate me …

This Post is About All Men

I've been reading, trying to digest everything that's being said in the wake of this Elliot Rodgers mess. I had to explain it to my dad, that a man killed some women for not having sex with him, and that other men on the internet thought he had the right idea. I had to see …
