Internal Editor for Hire...

Internal Editor for Hire. Must be comfortable in confined, tight, brain-colored spaces...

Internal Editor Job Description

The successful internal editor will first and foremost not be a lazy sack of bones (metaphorically speaking) who gets super angsty about the sharing of mundane, innocuous stories/information but who lets very personal details or just entirely inappropriate thoughts and ideas out of the safety of my internal reflection into the wild, weirding out or offending…

Sexist interactions. The not new normal.

Sexist interactions. The not new normal.

Ah, sexist anecdotes, I can’t hear enough of them. Super please yes yay! And the people who are so generous as to bend your ear with them? Salt of the earth. Nobody enjoys a women vs. dogs comparison more than I do. As humor goes, it’s almost as intellectually-advanced as a good blonde joke.

Damn Machine

It’s not that our washing machine officially turned in its resignation. It’s more that we…

Another missed opportunity...

Another missed opportunity…

To Do: Buy Dream Journal UGH! I had a dream that was so engrossing, so compelling, so alarming, and, also, so COMPLETELY realized in its plot, pacing, and impact that I woke up from it energized for 20 minutes thinking about the novel I was going to write based on it. And then? I fell back asleep. Without writing down the outline of it to jog my memory in the morning. Do you know what I remember…

Deeeeeeeep thoughts. Ish.

I need to become part of a Speculative Squad. Who’s with me? A group of people that want to hang out and just discuss whatever is swirling in their brains. My brain is such an open organ. I’m inviting people in all the time. Hey, wanna see something weird? Grab a coffee. Let’s chat. And I guess because I’m constantly all up in there, the gelatinous monster in my skull — Hey, while I’m here with…

Slow walkers, horses, and autocorrect.

Slow walkers — I have an opinion Ah, slow walkers. Those delightful time-wasters. Promoters of Lollygagging. Directors of Dawdling. Helping all of us to enjoy each footfall ever so much more because we get to take each step      that     much      slower          oh       for          the               love            of             all                               that                    is    …

The March of the Ants

The March of the Ants

Did you know that was the precursor to March of the Penguins? It just wasn’t as compelling so, you know, no green light for that script. Fine. I’m lying. I contend it was actually March of the Giant House Centipede, although the penguins would never have made it to the pitch room in that case. Why, you ask? Because the House Centipede is a creature built for nightmares, people. Those babies are…

Paper Rock Scissors Pilot

Paper Rock Scissors Pilot

Anna and I did a “podcast” and it’s interesting. Yeah. It’s not a podcast. We know this. It’s us recording ourselves chattering about utter nonsense. No studio. No microphone. No legitimate equipment or software whatsoever. So, you know, listen at your own risk. Peace. http://exaggeratedforeffect.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/Paper-Rock-Scissors.m4a

Wherein I discuss wedding dresses, bathroom etiquette and, obviously, sociopaths…

Let’s do this. And guys, if you’re gonna stick with me through this, and I really hope you will, please start hydrating. Maybe grab yourself some snacks. This is going to be lengthy. Wedding Dresses I worked a wedding expo recently for one of the vendors (Captur, which you should seriously check out!), and blah, blah, blah, weddings are expensive. I’m not here to throw shade at the people who…

Is it odd to say that I'm never quite sure vacation was worth it when I see her beloved face upon returning?

Holy hell!! I haven’t posted since December????? Is that even possible???! The bad news? This post is brought to you by: Hey look, a shiny object! Expect sharp turns. Look, there’s been a lot going on. Like a lot! I’d share, but yeah, I’m not going to share. Some of it is boring. Much of it is sooooooo emo. I can’t even begin to explain how emo. I should write some godawful poetry or music, or…

Her contributions were interesting works of art, but this one is just insulting. Good thing it's the gift for our 🐶 I probably shouldn't have tricked her into wrapping one of her own presents. Pretty sure that's when things took a turn. Happy Holidays!!

I love the December HSA Doctor Tour. I'm clearly lying.

So….

I spent my December seeing as many people with advanced degrees in the medical field as possible. How about you? I think you’re lying. Shame on you.

I spent some quality time in the microwave/claustrophobic tube. This was to check the status of my REDACTED. People, send me your contact info and I’ll add you to my HIPAA forms. Until then, I’ve got to keep some mystery here. I seem to adhere…

TP On, You Crazy Diamond.

Have you ever had the universe hand you a comedic situation so perfect that you doubt that it’s real? I had this happen to me when I left work today. I looked all around certain that I was the target of an elaborate and really well-executed set-up. See, I looked up to see a man in front of me with a trail of toilet paper hanging out of his pants. Shhhh. It’s not even time to start judging me yet.…
