Hey babes, Here’s a new ADVICE! It’s sure been a long time, and this one is frankly a doozy. I would really love some other perspectives on it, and I’m sure the letter writer would as well. I got up this morning and put on my workout clothes first thing, even though I won’t go […]

Dear Advice I am grappling with the misbehavior of one person, and how that one person’s behavior issues are rippling in a community. The big problem here is that this community is essentially built around this woman, and the worship of her. But hey, why do I care? Why not just navigate away from this […]

– drunk with the power of my new position, I use it (my power) to unilaterally declare that beethoven will be taught in the “Romantic” section of this class, rather than the “Classical,” where he has resided for over 20 years at this institution. I am roundly applauded for my boldness – I am sent […]

As our ancestors stored nuts and berries in tunnels underneath the ground to prepare for winter, so do we modern humans order many “upcycled” wool products off etsy as we feel the weather changing. I think I am almost ready for winter, although I still need to put a new lining in my pea coat, […]

Well, it’s Columbus Day weekend, which means we have Monday off school for some reason. Furthermore, in a twist I have never heard of before, my new school does this thing where when there’s a Monday holiday, we make it up on Tuesday–so on Tuesday the entire campus pretends it’s Monday. Then that Tuesday just […]

I accidentally made rice instead of oatmeal this morning. So I am eating it (rice) with my coffee. So that happened. Fall has sprung, and there are leaves of all manner of color and hue upon every inch of God’s great earth. I am having career-related panic but I am trying hard to hang on, […]

I deactivated my facebook account again. I am very interested to see what happens. I am trying to implement a new heavily curated internet experience. I have identified the things of the internet that impart meaning to my life rather than simply sucking time from it: – my blog – old school message board where […]

Oh you know what has been cool though is that two different groups of my favorite dorks have come through here on tour already! This was something that happened all the time when we lived in Santa Cruz, but I had assumed no one would ever drive through this random little wide spot in the […]
