I Get These Great Ideas but I Can't Spell 'Em: "How lovely to be a woman and change from boys to men. To go to a fancy night club and stay out after ten. How lovely to be so grown up and free! Life's lovely when you're a woman like me."*

Sunday, July 8, 2012. How lovely to be a woman and change from boys to men. To go to a fancy night club and stay out after ten. How lovely to be so grown up and free! Life's lovely when you're a woman like me."*. In precisely one month from today I will be 30 years old. Huzzah! Here are other things I want for my birthday, since I know it’s hard to decide what to get someone:. For my taste. And I think they’re largely war-torn, but US Weekly. Umactually Tajikistan looks kind of amazing. A Costco membersh...

I Get These Great Ideas but I Can't Spell 'Em: "Hello? Was I the only one paying attention? I thought it reeked." "I believe that was your Designer Imposter Perfume."*

Wednesday, May 16, 2012. Was I the only one paying attention? I thought it reeked." "I believe that was your Designer Imposter Perfume."*. When I was in junior high I smelled like this:. It was actually shaped like an exclamation point. Get it? This was the basis of its appeal. And occasionally like this:. Barf This stuff smells bad. Does anyone else remember these? Or the one my buddy Richie reminded me of:. A CK One Ad. Men and women, mostly topless. Get it? Because anyone can wear it. So there you hav...

I Get These Great Ideas but I Can't Spell 'Em: May 2013
http://igetthesegreatideas.blogspot.com/2013_05_01_archive.html
Thursday, May 16, 2013. I realize it's about letting things go and not adding more things."*. I haven’t written a lot lately because everything I do is emotionally fraught and disturbing and seems poised to lead to buckets of tears because I apparently cry at everything now: episodes of Wings. Or I’m just back to my pre-medicated level crazy. (Uh-oh. Please, dear lord, don't make me like I was when I was 16 again! It wouldn't be right or fair or decent! How I pictured myself as a surfer. And LA Shares, t...

I Get These Great Ideas but I Can't Spell 'Em: December 2013
http://igetthesegreatideas.blogspot.com/2013_12_01_archive.html
Thursday, December 5, 2013. Obsession is the single most wasteful human activity, because with an obsession you keep coming back and back and back to the same question and never get an answer." OR "Without obsession, life is nothing."*. Okay so I haven’t been writing on this here blog so much lately. And yes, a lot of that is school-related. But there’s another critical factor that I haven’t mentioned, due to addiction and its related shame: I’m obsessed with Sudoku. Play in the background. It’...All the...

I Get These Great Ideas but I Can't Spell 'Em: "He's not the Messiah! He's a very naughty boy!"*
http://igetthesegreatideas.blogspot.com/2012/08/hes-not-messiah-hes-very-naughty-boy.html
Monday, August 27, 2012. He's not the Messiah! He's a very naughty boy! I’ve been in Omaha for a few days and having a largely splendid/relaxing time. My writing spot: parents' backyard. Imagine cicadas chirping and warm wind. And usually I'm sitting in the chair. Perfect. Anywho, today I went to donate blood. I’m a really amazing, saint-like human being, so every 5 years or so I give blood. On the years in between I try not to litter and occasionally donate clothes to Out of the Closet. So while she sta...

I Get These Great Ideas but I Can't Spell 'Em: July 2013
http://igetthesegreatideas.blogspot.com/2013_07_01_archive.html
Tuesday, July 30, 2013. The best blood will at some time get into a fool or a mosquito."*. The mosquitoes tell me I have sweet blood. But I think I know why the mosquitoes like me so hard: it’s because whenever I’m outside or near grass, I’m drinking wine. And MOSQUITOES LOVE WINE. New theory: mosquitoes are drawn to people who are drawn to alcohol. Game, set, match. Mosquitoes (my friend Michelle. Likes to pronounce it phonetically: mos-kwi-toes) are alcoholic. A couple of 'skeeters hanging out on my leg.

I Get These Great Ideas but I Can't Spell 'Em: "I have never taken any exercise except sleeping and resting."*
http://igetthesegreatideas.blogspot.com/2012/02/i-have-never-taken-any-exercise-except.html
Thursday, February 23, 2012. I have never taken any exercise except sleeping and resting."*. Good grief, moving is stressful. Especially when you’re as lazy as I am and put everything off until the last possible minute. I reek of bleach (cleaning) and paint (finishing up my table project before I go. Progress report and pictures to follow). And compounding matters is the raucous pain in my calves from the thing I did on Sunday (that’s right: four days ago): The Santa Monica Stairs. They’re running ...

I Get These Great Ideas but I Can't Spell 'Em: September 2013
http://igetthesegreatideas.blogspot.com/2013_09_01_archive.html
Monday, September 16, 2013. Possum. Big freaky lookin' bitch. Since when did they change it to 'opossum'? When I was coming up it was just possum. Opossum makes it sound like he's Irish or something. Why they gotta go changing everything? Yes, so anyway, I was inside enjoying an episode of Monk. Or twelve— I’m a spy. My first thought was, “Godammit! That rascally opossum from the creek finally figured out how to swing from one of those tree branches onto the porch! Here, I’ll show you:. Grade-level algeb...

http://igetthesegreatideas.blogspot.com/2013_10_01_archive.html
Thursday, October 17, 2013. Don't go to Corpus, go the other way! Where are we gonna go, Alaska? This is Part Two of my trip to Corpus Christi with my friends Brandon, Katie, and Alex. Read Part One here. And then we got to the hotel. Here is a drawing of our hotel. Alex and I were bunking together but our room wasn’t ready, so we changed in Brandon and Katie’s room, which smelled of unchanged air conditioning filters, and headed to the beach. 8220;This can’t be all of it, right? Really, really high tide?
