Reality Computer: Anticlimactic
http://subjecttoapproval.blogspot.com/2008/07/anticlimactic.html
Wednesday, July 16, 2008. Everything that gets me upset gets everyone else upset, too, and half the time, lots of other people have written about being upset in the same way I would describe my upsetness. So that's out. Yes, Bush is bad. Yes, I am voting for Obama. Yes, I am disturbed how racist many voters are. Yes, teenage vampire whores are causing our children to suffer from ADD and PTSD. Article depresses me, despite my 9 pound weight loss. I think I'm just going to be fat forever, dammit.

Reality Computer: January 2006
http://subjecttoapproval.blogspot.com/2006_01_01_archive.html
Tuesday, January 31, 2006. Some Old Favorites.And Some New. Let's rediscover some of Fritz's favorites:. 1 Siouxsie and the Banshee's. It's a downward spiral- If I start to sing 'Kiss Them For Me', I then enter into 'Where is My Mind? Which (of course) leads to 'Cannonball' by The Breeders. And then, Veruca Salt. I'm suddenly humming New Order. That reminds me of The Cure. Which briefly makes me say out loud 'Bella Lugusi's Dead' (of course I know it's BAUHAUS. Nah, nevermind, I'll just put in my old Blur.

Reality Computer: Malcontent
http://subjecttoapproval.blogspot.com/2008/07/malcontent.html
Sunday, July 13, 2008. To hell with you, Weight Watchers. I am eating my Dannon yogurt sprinkled with a one-point cardboard cake. From WW, and I am NOT TRACKING IT. Nope It does not even exist, and it shan't appear on my hips. It is a MEASLY five points, and while I have exhausted all of my extra points for the week (and I'm several days away from weigh-in), I will not begrudge myself coffee yogurt. After all, I did not have a second glass of wine or my obligatory Sunday Bloody Mary. Teach me, Arachnae.

Reality Computer: Upon Finishing A Shrug
http://subjecttoapproval.blogspot.com/2008/07/upon-finishing-shrug.html
Sunday, July 27, 2008. Upon Finishing A Shrug. The weaving in of ends is tedious, and by the second sleeve, I'm exhausted. The whole shoulder might unravel. The sleeves hug my biceps too closely, and distort the lines of the fabric. One side of the cabling is larger than the other, because I lost count of the pattern, and went my own way. It's a crooked shrug. It's all a-tilt and hangs almost straight. Instead, I take the shrug off and fold it. It will live in my closet until the time is right to bri...

Reality Computer: Name Calling
http://subjecttoapproval.blogspot.com/2008/07/name-calling.html
Saturday, July 12, 2008. I work four ten hour days. That means I do not work on Fridays. I know, it rules. Here is the part that does NOT rule: leaving the house at 6:30 am. At that time of the day, I do not have the wherewithal, the chutzpah, the *verve* to make coffee. So, I go to Starfucker's. Grande bold coffee with two shots of espresso, two creams, and one Splenda. So: here has been the recent dialog:. Me: I'll have a grande bold coffee with two shots espresso, two creams, and one Splenda. Crafty C...

News from Saguaro Blues: September 2005
http://saguaroblues.blogspot.com/2005_09_01_archive.html
News from Saguaro Blues. Irregular and impromptu postings from Saguaro Blues Ranch, nestled in the hills above the Pedernales River Valley. Thursday, September 22, 2005. The Nuke Dodges a Bullet - This Time. Such a sweet photo, isn't it? Two symmetrical concrete towers and outlying buildings, a nice marsh full of migratory birds, a lone seagull flying overhead. Nature has adapted to man's intrusions as best it can. All is calm. From the outside, everything seemed to be progressing smoothly. Brown and Roo...

Reality Computer: Phat-Tee's
http://subjecttoapproval.blogspot.com/2008/07/phat-tees.html
Saturday, July 12, 2008. Can we agree on some basic concepts, please? For example, can we agree that Americans eat too much? Is that really up for debate? Don't we live in a culture of face-stuffers? Face-stuffers who love fast food and bacon? Isn't that, like, totally apparent to every single person with five brain cells? And don't we, as a nation, use up resources five times as fast as everyone else? I didn't think this was, like, news. Apparently, not everyone agrees with me. Wall-E mocks fat people!

Reality Computer: Second Part
http://subjecttoapproval.blogspot.com/2011/04/second-part.html
Tuesday, April 12, 2011. My father is a damnable man, so I shuck off his rage like the skin off corn. When mother adopted the little one off the orphan train and set her to work washing floors and beating rugs, I knew some of my pennies went down the hungry maw of the ingrate. And when my sisters were married off, I know my pennies were packed into their marriage trunks along with all the frippery of weddings. And that bastard still didn't give me my land. George and I taught ourselves English by reading...

Spinning Another Tale: A Very (Much) Long Trip
http://spinninganothertale.blogspot.com/2006/02/very-much-long-trip.html
Flexing the writing muscle between bites of sushi. A Very (Much) Long Trip. For instilling in me, by his example, the courage to write about this. Here’s how it all went down. When I taught environmental science, I ran a club for kids who were interested in forestry and animal science careers. Once a year we would travel to a state-level competition for the enviro-geeks to show their stuff. It was great fun, and we even brought home the trophy once or twice; my kids were the. Oh, that is so sweet! 8220;I...

Spinning Another Tale: & Away
http://spinninganothertale.blogspot.com/2006/12/away.html
Flexing the writing muscle between bites of sushi. This image belongs to Edem Tours. The awakening at dawn. The unfurling in morning’s chill. The hushing rustle of grasses. And the braying of zebras. The creak of the basket. I waited so long for this. The soaring glide over African plains. The herds of wildebeest. The regal grace of giraffes. The majesty of elephants. Hung on the cabinets at home. Could never have known. The rapid whirr of my heart. The wide elation of my eyes. And into a muddy lake.
