2021-01-01 Hurry Up and Wait ⏰
Or.. It’s About Time. Two days ago I started writing about something that dissolved into a rant about titles and hierarchy and how disgruntled I felt after not being recognized for my contribution in an effort I’ve worked on and care deeply about. I ran out of time while writing and was subsequently told to…

2020-12-30 Final MFA Day 2: Gathering All the Internets
I’ve gathered all the internet in the house that I could do as to try to get a good signal in a more isolated location. Maybe I should put the cable modem, WiFi router, and signal boosters in my car and drive away. Never mind that. There’s a giant snow pile behind my car and…

2020-12-29 Final MFA Day 2: Snowmageddon Anyone?
It’s like 2020 is holding the mic, refusing to let go.. saying “I’m not done yet bitches!” All the living under the rock life and blissful denial that I use to shield myself from what goes on in the world outside my door can’t protect me from the apparent snowmageddon that is now “pouring like…

2020-12-28 Final MFA Res Day 1: Jump In
Here’s where journaling almost every day comes in especially handy.

Being at home, though kind of a drag, has definite advantages. Normally waking up on…

2020-12-27 Final Countdown…
There have been nights I’ve tossed and turned in my bed, unable to sleep for the thoughts in my head. Playing and re-playing a scene that was years, months, and weeks in the future. I may sound melodramatic but I’m sure as hell not exaggerating. I’ve been thinking about the lecture I have to give…

2020-12-26 Soooo Ready
Having recently run out of episodes of my favorite, albeit old news, comedy series on Hulu, The Mindy Project, I had stopped watching anything altogether. It was the one show I watched alone. You know, folding laundry or eating lunch by myself on weekdays. All the other shows we watch, we watch as a couple…

2020-12-25 Merry Efffin Christmas
It’s a mood. It’s not necessarily a bad mood or a good mood. It’s just a mood. Christmas. Whatever. Yesterday I kinda said efff it to stuff and did what I wanted. I had said previously that what would be good was a repeat of thanksgiving. Just us here at the house having fun. No…

2020-12-24 A Perfect 4
I haven’t put on a dress in a while, but I’m pretty sure size 4 is still what would fit best. On a scale from 0-10, pretty sure my poetry is a 4 too. At least based on all these rejections. Another one popped into my in-box this morning. Like hello… merry fucking Christmas to…
