I like hockey. Growing up in the San Francisco Bay Area, I really wasn’t aware of hockey for a very long time. I went to my first game (a San Jose Sharks game in the Shark Tank) when I was 21 or so. I didn’t know what to expect, I hadn’t even watched hockey on […]

Thankful Tuesdays: An open letter to Dr. Demento
Dear Dr. Demento, I do not know what you have your doctorate in. I do not know how you came to have your own radio show. I do not know how you managed to have so many cool friends who are so entertaining. And frankly, I don’t care. I’m just thankful you were around to […]

Red Writing Hood: Lather, Rinse, Remember
Long. Long because he wouldn’t let me cut it. Long to my butt. Long catching on anything and everything. Long giving me headaches. Short. Not too short. Short because he can’t control me anymore. Short because it’s what you do when you move away from home to college. Short because I took the scissors to […]

We don’t need no stinkin’ badges…
…except when they’re so darn cool. Right-o. I present the Twitter Literature 2011 badge. Now all I have to do is figure out how to get this into my sidebar. I can assemble IKEA furniture while blindfolded with one arm tied behind my back, so I should be able to handle this. My ambition to […]

I’m an idiot
I’ve realized that even though it’s no longer NaBloPoMo, I’ve effectively committed myself to writing every day (at least for two weeks) in the service of Twitter Literature 2011. Every day, I’m compiling the #TLit2011 tweets, from our fantastic writers, and editing them into a coherent narrative displayed on the Twitter Literature 2011 – The […]

Floored, in a good way
I started blogging again a little over a month ago now. I happened to fall into wonderful bloggy and twitter friendships immediately. For me, this is a land-speed-record for friendship. See, I don’t actually *like* people. I know, I know, that’s hard for you to believe. But that’s because you only know me online. In […]

Goodbye NaBloPoMo, hello Twitter Literature 2011!
Well, I mostly made it through NaBloPoMo. I only phoned it in once, and only missed once, and I guess for a first try it isn’t bad. Not great, but not bad. Next year will be better. And now I get to move on to something even more fun than posting every day — a […]

Wordful Wordless Wednesday: My Heart Isn’t Big Enough
My heart isn’t big enough. Not for the crashing train that hits me when you smile. Not for the iceberg that chills me when you take a spill. Not for the number of towels I need handy for your fantastic teething-open-mouth kisses on my cheeks, and nose, and forehead. Not for the monster sitting on […]

Thankful Tuesdays: Recipe and Recriminations
Ok, not really recriminations, I just dig alliteration, and I happen to like that word. “Retractions” perhaps? Yes, that would probably be the better word. Yesterday I accidentally fatfingered a twitter re-tweet. For those of you who don’t know, a “re-tweet” is when you quote another person’s tweet to your own followers, usually adding some […]

Quick!
In just a few minutes I’ll be grating more pumpkin (a pumpkin grater’s work is never done, sigh) so I’m taking the chance to post now. Pray for me that I don’t end up grating part of my finger off like M did last week — that still hasn’t fully healed, poor guy. We’ve finished […]
