as time goes by…

i always chew mints and hard candy. weird.
what a wonderful weekend. i had shows on wednesday, friday, and saturday with lots of food, family, and friends woven in. due to my intense performance schedule combined with the obligatory family time i didn’t see as many or as much of my friends as i had hoped [...]

(five day weekend)

too early…

i forgot to put on socks before i went to bed and so i woke up at seven freezing cold. brrr… i haven’t slept in in ages.
holidays are approaching. it’s very strange to me, i feel as though the last two months have gone by in the blink of an eye and at the same [...]

i have a blog?

i’ve finally remembered it!
this weekend has been nutsoid. my show, “Live at the Funky Butt Jazz Club” opened on Thursday night (and will continue to perform at Interact through December 17th) and was a shockingly smashing success. We had four performances this weekend, each better than the one before. I was at the theater more [...]

i’ll be sittin’ when the evening comes

it has been a long day and i am full of energy. i haven’t done enough relaxing with friends today for my taste. unfrotunately i work until 11 so in the event that i do find some friends i will still only have a few hours at most before the inevitable crashing. i have another [...]

most of the time i keep both feet on the ground

i’ve got a kitty next to me. ani playing in the background. a fire in the fireplace. a good book open to my page. friends around. it’s quiet and we’e each working on our own things. this is companionship. i am so lucky. undeniably, unbelievably lucky.
i went to a seminar taught by the provost today. [...]

saturday hide away

I am alone in the lab. If anybody out there in the world is interested in not being found, try the Augsburg College library on a Saturday morning. I’m kind of enjoying myself, actually.

winter is already feeling oppressive

this morning as i was biking the wind tried to kill me. first, it blew so hard that i physically could not get my bike to move forward. i had to get off and walk for a block. second, it tried to blow me sideways into traffic. thank goodness i’m still alive. i wonder if [...]

i am still alive

although it feels like it has been a million years since saturday. things with me are lovely. couldn’t be better. excitement fills my days and anticipation distracts me from much of my work. i’ve had a weekend of connecting with new people and with people who have been in my sphere for a long time. [...]

way up in the sky the little birds fly…

i expect i’ll be yawning all day. i had the unexpected pleasure of interesting and refreshing company last night. i ended up staying at interact until after eleven last night with two coworkers. we were organizing costumes, i made myself a scarf, we had ourselves a bottle of wine. then chels didn’t hear her phone [...]
