Oops, She Did It Again
St. Frances's cat Ke$ha has peed on Diego's bed twice. So far she hadn't show much interest in peeing on my bed, but what she did like to do was sneak into my room when the door was open a crack, dart behind

Your Email Makes Me Watch to Punch Something
I ignored my own advice and got angry at work today. I didn't let anybody see me angry, but I replied to a client's email with something other than my usual, "Yes, right away!" I always have to remind myself not to take work

Great Way to Start the Day?
On the 21 this morning, a guy was watching Se7en on his iPad. It was that scene where they discover the sloth victim tied to the bed. Was that just his public transportation diversion, like the girl reading Anna Karenina who I sat down next to? Or was he trying

Okay, so it's actually Tuesday. I'm still catching up from last week, and I did watch this movie last night, with Ash, but we didn't finish it until 11:30 or something and I was tired. Basically, it was awesome. Peter Travers at Rolling

It's Hard to Write Everyday
The #1 reason I wanted to write this blog is also the thing that makes it hardest to do: I write for a living, so it's not exactly relaxing. I do a lot of writing everyday, but it's not for me, it's for clients,

Orthodontist Hates Writing
I have a small gap between my two front teeth, so I went to an orthodontist today to get it checked out. Not a big deal, she said, I could close it with retainers, or if I sold a kidney, Invisalign. Wrapping up the consultation, she looked at my answers

Day at the DMV
Getting my California driver's license after 10 years away required standing in four lines over an hour and a half. Two of those lines I stood in twice. Surprisingly, given the bureaucratic maze, the woman behind the counter was able to look up my old California drivers license,
