Last night on the J-Church, I was sleepily riding home when I noticed an older British lady get on and sit down about ten feet away from me. I knew she was British because she asked the woman next to her where Army Street was. Anyway, she sat down, carrying a bunch of plastic bags, […]

I have this ongoing mild phobia that I will leave my belongings on the train or the bus. I think it might be an extension of some other anxiety, like fear of failure. I don’t know. Sometimes I will get off the train and as I walk along, physically squeeze the handles of my bag(s) […]

I could tell I was being followed; the voices and footfalls kept getting closer. Giggles of thirteen-year-old girls, bigger than me.

This evening I took a long hot bath with a Lush bath melty bar and Epsom salts. Shaved my legs with the new razor and soaked my poor feet, then rubbed heels with coarse green stuff from a tube, filed them with a flat tool, soaked some more. Got sweaty in the tub for awhile. […]

Last night I was listening to Tech Nation on public radio, as one does, and the guest was Leonard Shlain, author of a new book called “Sex, Time and Power: How Women’s Sexuality Shaped Human Evolution.” I found what he had to say so fascinating, I put the book on my amazon wish list. His […]

I am reading a novel about elevator inspectors. I don’t really like riding in elevators. I would take the stairs if it weren’t for the fact that my building’s staircase is used only as a fire escape. Last week there was a story in the news about some guy who was beheaded when he became […]
