Hello morning
I didn’t wake up in Paris.
Sad, right?
Instead I woke up in Texas, not quite so romantic.
You can’t blame a girl for sending a wish out in the universe.
I had horrific dreams of killer bats all night. Also nightmares of being bludgeoned by a serial killer from Dexter SO4.
Please, for the love of Pete, tell me what that was about.
I managed to get half my hair stuck in a round...

NPR has a fascinating segment about how humans can’t walk in a straight line unless we have an external guide. We just end up walking in circles.
It turns out, no one is really sure why this happens but experiments on walkers, drivers and swimmers have all found the tendency to circle back on ourselves despite us thinking that we’re maintaining a steady course ahead.

LIfe is unfair.

Now that the state’s projected budget shortfall for 2012-13 has soared to more than $24 billion,...
Hello Literary Guts
I haven’t sent any work out in over a year.
I haven’t written anything of substance or quality since May.
I still collect impressions, snap shots, characters I see and store them away, but I’ve been too busy/distracted to take them out and let them breathe fresh air.
There is a piece I’ve been turning over and over, tempted to throw it in a big manilla envelope and send...
