Up-dating (it’s the only kind of dating I ever get to do)…

So I’m still seriously freaked out about tomorrow, but I think my vision is a little better than it was yesterday. Also, I got in touch with my family doctor just before his office closed on Friday and he called in a prescription for a couple of Valium to get me through the day. [...]

Christmas at Kel’s…

Only with more profanity. And less jelly.
Whatever you celebrate, however you celebrate it–here’s hoping it’s happy! Love one another. Imagine peace.
Pass the Tylenol.

And just where in the hell have you been?

I kid, of course. “You” have been busy, I imagine, getting along just fine in my absence. In contrast, my life since my last (shallow and girly) post on Halloween has been an epic tale of illness, anxiety, work, depression, triumph, and sloth.
Okay, maybe not “epic” in the traditional sense. Or any [...]

My family…

This is an actual conversation from yesterday afternoon.
To put it into context, allow me to describe the scene. We are sitting in a dental office waiting room. I am waiting for my name to be called with the same enthusiasm ‘Fredo Gonzales must greet…well, pretty much anyone asking any question about the last [...]

Hi…

Yeah, I’ve been absent for a while, blogging-wise, and that absence is likely to continue for the next days. I’m not feeling well–physically, mentally, or emotionally–and don’t have it within me to organize thoughts in a coherent form at present.
Please don’t forget me and keep watching this space…I shall, in fact, return.

Kel

And no…

This is not about me.
Give me a few years.

Blah…

I haven’t written much lately for two reasons. First, my wrists, lower arms, and hands have been hurting like a bitch, so typing is a massive drag. I’m hoping it’s just a flare-up of my arthritis combined with some careless overuse and not my crippled-ass version of body aches preceding the flu, because [...]

Lenty (and squicky)…

(Inspired by this column by Tom Ehrich)
What now seems like a lifetime ago, i.e. during my early 20’s, I tried to be Catholic. Not that I went to mass every day, or confession, or confirmation classes, even–hell, I was never baptized. I followed the lead of the young Catholics I knew, who fit [...]

Oookay…

I love looking at my blog statistics.  Not like I’m attracting a huge audience or anything–it’s just that once every few days something really catches my eye.  Today, though, takes the cookie.  As happens, some poor soul found her or his way to this page via a search engine.  The terms of their search?  “Yeast [...]

Bad blogger…

I’ve had every intention of writing a new post today, but I’m afraid it just didn’t happen. My complete attention today has been consumed by InStyle magazine, brainless computer games, and the relentless, raging horndog living in my head/soul/crotch. Also, I’ve been inordinately bothered by the fact that msnbc.com has been spelling ‘cancelled’ [...]
