GET A LIFE!
As lives go, I know mine is not very interesting. However, despite this, I feel exceptionally content most of the time. My motto for this Journal is “I make myself rich by making my wants few” and I really go … Continue reading
MANCHILD
Here’s a quick question for all those who like to haggle about semantics. Mary and I are having a debate about the exact meaning of the word “manchild.” Is this a man that acts like a child? Or a child … Continue reading
Just a thought: wouldn’t it be great to go live in another place where everybody talked English, but with a different accent than yours, so that when they heard you talking they would all think YOU had the coolest accent … Continue reading
Dreamy Latino
This is Nestor Torres, jazz flutist extroidanaire. Those lips, those eyes! He’s wearing a red shirt (for me) and is “lightly toasted” (for Mary). I’m not usually attracted to Latin men (the one major exception being Pedro from Napoleon Dynamite) … Continue reading
COUPON NO MORE
Just a quick note to say that I have decided to give up couponing, because I just do not have time for it anymore, and it simply isn’t worth the trouble. It has been so liberating to be able to … Continue reading

ONE FOR THE RECORD BOOKS?
My 31 days were up on Tuesday, at which point I think I was somewhere around 85,000 words. I wrote a summary ending of the story in order to fulfill the Nano requirements. I will “flesh out” my ending at … Continue reading
I’M SO SMART!
I’m so smart! Well, really I’m not, because it took me so very long to figure out these things, but at least I did eventually figure them out. In the last several weeks, I have come up with some good … Continue reading
ONE THING THE INTERNET IS GOOD FOR
I have discovered something the internet is good for. I say that as if previously I was not aware of ANYTHING the internet is good for. That’s not so, but this is one very important function, at least as far … Continue reading
