Ah, David Byrne. Still weird after all these years. But Talking Heads is, well, mandatory. [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BG2NL72DhqA&hl=en&fs=1] I like Shawn Colvin’s version of this song, too (I put it on Peace Pipe). It’s slower, more meloncholy, more suited to my homesickness when I hear the lyrics, “Home is where I want to be. Pick me up [...]

I can’t tell one from another

I love to cook. Have I mentioned? However, every now and then I find that we’ve gotten into a culinary rut. I keep making the same round of stuff, week after week. The food is still quite excellent (of course, I made it), but it’s all starting to get a little old. Over the past [...]
Having parents is kind of an alien concept to me. Whenever I think of what it would be like to have parents, I kind of get this surreal feeling. Like, I can’t even figure the details of what that would be like. To have someone who bore me, raised me, has a thousand-and-three stories about [...]
Flow issues
Posted: 27th January 2009 by Tiffany in Family, Headspace, Journal, misc, Music, TV, Video, workWell. I’ve been working on an entry about my parents for the last two days, and its been a struggle to get the words DOWN, let alone RIGHT. I didn’t think I’d have any particular issues with the topic, but I guess I haven’t thought about my OWN parents in so long, the words are [...]
So very sad.
Posted: 26th January 2009 by Tiffany in best things, Family, Friends, pets, photographyHeather said goodbye to Jasper today. I’m so sad I’m having to gulp back tears AGAIN, after already bawling in my cubicle and leaving a sob-filled voicemail on Heather’s phone which I’m SURE didn’t help at all. He was such a good boy, such a good friend, and what hurts me the most is how [...]
Crutches suck the big wide board (I heard that phrase in some 80′s movie once and it stayed with me). I can’t imagine anyone having to hobble around on two of ‘em, keeping the weight entirely off of one foot, for any amount of time. I tried it, got about six paces? strides? crutches? hobbles? [...]
A list of stuff I’m eventually going to write about.
Posted: 22nd January 2009 by Tiffany in Journal, Listy goodnessSo I don’t forget: 1. My father. Or lack thereof. 2. Step-parenthood revisited – The Kids Have Moved Out edition. 3. The woman who has continued to fuck with my sister and her family, thus I will sic the internet on her. Aka: “Using My Powers for Evil”. 4. Faith, and what’s holding me together [...]

Well, it seems I have a stress fracture. I’ve got a doctor’s appointment later on today to confirm my suspicions, but I have all the symptoms. They’ll take x-rays but they probably won’t reveal anything – stress fractures don’t show up until about three weeks after the fact, when the calcification of the area sets [...]
Somehow I managed to fubar my foot. I have NO IDEA what I did to it – all I know is that I can’t walk on it really at all. So I’m on the couch, practicing RICE (Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation) and popping extra-strength Tylenol. The only good thing about this is that I get [...]
