Another Austin Sunset from Pennypacker Bridge – photo credit
The week before last I hit a wall. My breaking point, if you will. After almost exactly 4 months in a new city in a new state (which feels like the other side of the world), in a new job in a new environment and going from [...]

Yes, this post is mostly about wallpaper. It’s also about the ex but frankly I care more about the wallpaper.
So, as I’m continuing my job hunt I’m living with my parents in the house I moved into at the age of 6, left at 18 for college, and then again at 22 for the city [...]

I view Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind in a whole new light now. But wouldn’t rehab be nice? It should have really great beds that you can just sink into, making sleep so easy. Go away for 30 days, have someone there through detox of emotions, all the sappy movies you can cry to, [...]

I can’t sleep. This is the third night this week, I’ve gone to bed and then finally got up and out of bed to get on the computer in the hopes of dulling my eyes to sleep by staring at the monitor in the dark. I probably look like someone out of a Stephen King [...]

R: Guess where I am?
Me: Brazil!

Me: AWESOME! What are you going to make?
R: It’s a surprise.
Me: Will I like it?
R: It will be the best thing ever.
Me: Even if it’s pork?
R: [...]

Early morning 5:30 AM, my understanding of what transpired*:
Greenleafgal “sleeping”: Hey, let’s start a new group.

GG: Refugees For New Hospitals!
BF: Uh… OK. What?
GG emphatically with a fist raised in the air**: RefuGEES for NEW Hospitals!!!
BF: Well, I support Refugees and I support hospitals…. (trails off)
GG: Ha, [...]
