This Thing Must Come Out.

November 24, 2019December 6, 2019Categories Life, Pacific Northwest, Writing1 Comment on This Thing Must Come Out.

It’s so hard to write. It used to be easy. I used to post blogs all the time. I posted when I was on the World Race, I posted when I was walking the Camino de Santiago, I posted a bunch in between. I could blog and journal and email and everything. This year, I…

I’m Writing a Book

February 7, 2018December 6, 2019Categories Life, Travel, Writing14 Comments on I’m Writing a Book

I ran down the road, pants down to my knees, screaming, 'Please, come help me, that Canadian shaman gave a little too much to me,' and I'm writing a novel, because it's never been done before... ...a line from Father John Misty's song "I'm Writing a Novel" I don’t get philosophical about New Year's until…

Look, I’m not one for smug car selfies, but today I took a ferry to the Kitsap Peninsula and got my covid shot (I was a very brave girl) at a random Walgreens and bought makeup for the first time in a year. Here’s to being a step closer to wearing lipstick in public again!
Happy 30th to Kristal!! I recommend that everyone have a 20-year friendship with someone who is down for doing tire swing stunts at recess, producing and starring in a full-length spoof of the film version of Dr. Zhivago, eating whole loaves of cheesy bread before voice lessons, watching the entire series Boys Over Flowers, and getting through all crappy and happy life milestones together.
Three days dicking around in Florence and I only just discovered that this is where they blew up that sperm whale in 1970. Link in bio. (Not to one of my David Sedaris wannabe blogs, but to the actual explosion footage.)
The Alvord Desert! (Possibly the most remote place I’ve ever been?) There were wild horses, hot springs, snowy mountains, a vast, thrice-rain-shadowed playa, and generally a lot of views that made my tummy feel funny. It took rerouting an entire vacation, five years on the bucket list, three days of driving to get to the middle-of-nowhere town closest to it—which is still 2.5 hours away—precautionary tire chains, a long audiobook, and a cooler of food, and it was all worth it! If you’re ever in the area (doubtful), be sure to swing by.
Today I celebrate two of my interests—tator tots and religion—by going to the Taco Time whose salsa bar the Rajneeshees attacked.
The next valentine is a bit more racy and features partial nudity.
Wrote a valentine to a guy I stared at during an open mic three years ago. Should be good. (I also draw pictures.)
Shoutout to the kid who drew a cup of water for our winter drink special drawing challenge. As a prize, he has won free cups of water for life!
Look at all that geology.
