Running for the Middle: Back on (the) Track
http://runningforthemiddle.blogspot.com/2012/04/back-on-track.html
Running for the Middle. I'm not running to compete with anybody. At the same time, I do run quite a bit. I'm a middle-the-pack runner, though, running for the middle means several other things here, too. This is not a blog to help others train. It's just a place I hope to encourage a sustained, consistent, contemplative effort in my running and writing. Tuesday, April 24, 2012. Back on (the) Track. I ran my Cable Lane 7.75 (1:00.45) - something about me said I should try to get in under an hour, ...Ran a...

DISCONNECT: My Canadian Marriage Never Mattered
http://carriekosicki.blogspot.com/2012/01/my-canadian-marriage-never-mattered.html
My Canadian Marriage Never Mattered. Get out of bed, and I spent the afternoon walking around town alone. I did some window shopping and treated myself to dinner. Then I went to Second City. The same improv company that brought us Dan Aykroyd and the lady who played Kevin's mom in the Home Alone. The threatened invalidation of the estimated 2,500 same-sex marriages that have been conducted over the last 9 years would be great for me, but it would be kind of a kick to the balls for the other 2,499 couples...

Meanface Moments: Rec Center Pick Up
http://meanfacemoments.blogspot.com/2011/12/rec-center-pick-up.html
Thursday, December 22, 2011. Rec Center Pick Up. I ran on the treadmill Tuesday and got a mean look from a stranger playing basketball. He was big with big muscles and an enormous floppy head. I didn't like him the moment I saw him, but not for his size. Rather, I didn't like him for the way he was manipulating players on both teams, intimidating them and pushing them around. And he was not a good player. And he called fouls every time he touched the ball. Ah, hell, I'm bound up in this. Its nice to hear...

Like a Cat out of Hell. Look at that shifty-eyed little nix-nux to the right. I'm cat sitting this special little guy, and he's causing me to behave in ways I would never behave otherwise. Back to the story. A few minutes ago, cat figured out that the hood over the stove is wide enough and sturdy enough to support his weight. He jumped from the floor to the stove top to the hood and finally, victory of all victories, on top of the cabinets to my own little Jim Beam graveyard. And History of the World Par...

DISCONNECT: My Girlfriend is Addicted to Pinterest
http://carriekosicki.blogspot.com/2012/01/my-girlfriend-is-addicted-to-pinterest.html
My Girlfriend is Addicted to Pinterest. I try to post something new on here every weekend, but as of yesterday afternoon, I still couldn't think of anything I wanted to write about. I mentioned my problem to Jen, and she said, "Why don't you write about what it's like to be in a relationship with a crafter? Which is her way of saying, why don't you write about how amazing my pillows are? I thought, I'm not sure I'm ready to go public with that information. As far as I can tell, 99% of the people on Pinte...

DISCONNECT: For When I'm Dead and Famous
http://carriekosicki.blogspot.com/2012/02/for-when-im-dead-and-famous.html
For When I'm Dead and Famous. Abolitionist, President, Diarist. When I was in the 4th grade and how that coupled with the fact that I had, in fact, snuck a peek at Brandon's peeing penis (or did I? Had led me to realize that I was as gay as the day is long (that's 24 hours gay even during Daylight Saving Time) and I just couldn't bear to admit it to myself. No, I think the destroyed journal entry went something like, "Oh my god, why can't I sleep? Why can I never sleep? Well let me tell you. They are/wer...

Listen Local: Is CD101 Being Sold. I don't know if I'm allowed to use an image of the old CD101 logo, so picture it here.).

The Bitch Is Back. A lot has happened in the world since my last post. With Glenn Beck as their fearless leader, thousands of lunatic, gun toting men and the women who love them held rallies is major cities all over the country. In the beginning they proudly proclaimed themselves to be Teabaggers until someone got wise to exactly what that means. According to this ABC Affiliate. 92 famous people died in 2009. Among them are Gordon's wife from Sesame Street. You know, the lady from 227-. In the meantime, ...

School Supplies, Similes, and Shame. I went to Staples yesterday because I had a 6 dollar coupon and 6 dollars can get you 25,000 staples. When you consider that just one staple can comfortably bind together 20 sheets of paper, that's 500,000 sheets or 100 reams of paper once carefree and loose now bound for eternity. What I'm saying is one 6 dollar coupon can save a lot of paper from isolation and loneliness. Did I inquire into the health of her husband and her dogs? Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Meanface Moments: Long-Sticking Anger
http://meanfacemoments.blogspot.com/2011/12/long-sticking-anger.html
Tuesday, December 13, 2011. Okay, so here, maybe, is part of the problem with this training in masculinity. On my run today, I ran through an intersection where I had almost been hit once. I recalled that moment, and how the schmuck who'd almost hit me got pissed at me because his cell phone fell out of his hand when he slammed his breaks - despite the fact that I'd had the right of way. To what end does my (real or imagined) response lead? The more I thought about what a jerk the guy probably was all th...
