I don't normally mourn the death of a celebrity, but a moment of silence for Philip Seymour Hoffman. He really was a master of his craft. There aren't that many great actors out there. Most of what Hollywood shows us are pretty people and fluff.

And as a former drug addict, I am sadder still to see him lost to drugs. I know the pain...

I'm baby sitting five tiny puppies at the moment until their new foster mom, my neighbor, comes home.

In retrospect, I should have bathed them after I fed them. Now they're all sleeping in a cozy little puppy pile.

I took myself out for dinner this past Thursday to help stave off the ennui that had been creeping in. Going out to dinner by yourself

Does that shirt look familiar? It should. It's the one I wore in my first set. I've had that shirt forever. My friend gave it to me right before I went away to college when I was 18. It had been his when he was a kid. There's something so awesome about wearing old pieces of clothing. Never mind that it's on the verge of

On days like today, when not much is going on, I like to take my time with everything. I stay in bed wrapped in my blankets snuggling my cat and going through the news on my phone. When I do get out of bed, I make tea using the old fashioned kettle and enjoy every sip I take. After my run, I take a shower

So I signed up for this dating app on my phone. It's a whole lot of nope. Though it is somewhat humorous. Honestly, I think I would meet people I have more in common with if I didn't live in this area of the country. It has it's own sort of charm, but it's still a bit of a cultural wasteland. I feel like if

So, I know that I had previously been absent for a few years due to some personal business, but I see a lot of people complaining about the new set up of the site. They say it's harder to navigate and that it seems stripped down. Well, I've been an SG since 2004. I've seen the site go through many changes in order to stay...

I'm wearing a shirt that's older than I am. My mom got it when she saw the Rolling Stones back in '81. She said they were terrible and that she doesn't understand why people would pay so much to see them now. She gave that shirt to me ten years ago. I LOVE that I still fit in clothes from ten or more years ago....

Happy Caturday, you fine people. In the long held tradition that is 'Caturday', have some pictures of cats.

The one question I constantly ask myself is, "Why can't the people who I want to be obsessed with me indeed be obsessed with me?" It seems someone I was in a band with over a decade ago has crept back into my life with proclamations of

This is my new foster dog, Cinnamon. Isn't she the cutest? She's just such a love. I feel like she has the head of a German Shepherd, the legs and body of a basset hound, and the color and tail of a corgi. She had a litter of five adorable little puppies and they were just weaned and at a different foster.

And that's a

There are a lot of pictures saved here that aren't saved to my hard drive. When I had departed from the site in 2009 I had a different computer that I lost in a bad break up. Coming back here was like opening a photo-tastic time capsule. I saw pictures that I forgot had been taken of me. Some are good. Some are bad. It's...
