On wanting to know the future…

I wish someone could just tell me what the future is. There have been so many times in the past that I've actually read the last few pages of a book first, just so that I could know where I was heading. Even with TV shows, I'll often look up, "when do these two characters … Continue reading On wanting to know the future…

On clearing out the crap…

I feel like I spend the majority of my days recently on the verge of crying, but never actually doing so. I just don't have the time for it. There's always something more pressing that needs tending to. Right now, it's my eight-month-old and two-year-old daughters that will.not.nap.

And it all started around one o'clock in the morning on Sunday before finally relenting about an … Continue reading On bouts of brutality…

On needing a little more…

The last several months, I've been feeling a bit underwhelmed with my own intellectual pursuits. That happens when you spend most of your days watching Doc McStuffins (whom I could now probably write an entire dissertation on) and Sesame Street (which is amazeballs, but there are far too many third-person talkers in that 'hood) and … Continue reading On needing a little more…
