Me 1 – Windows Media Player 0

Huzzah, I finally figured out how to change the default text on Google Docs. There are some unintuitive steps. That’s a good way to start today’s blog as I’m going to write about how I finally figured out how to fix my Windows Media Player. I had been keeping all my music on OneDrive. The […]

Horvendile In A Roman Field

I told my therapist something that turned out to not be true. I told her that I’d blog right after our session, before I catch up on the TV I’ve missed or eating, because I’m trying to get back in the habit and I want My Gentle Readers to know how important they are to […]

Looks Like a Penguin

I was about to record Gord’s Gold when the people above me started playing music. It’s my own fault, I prepared the show on Thanksgiving; I should have recorded it yesterday. I wasted far too much time. What was meant to be my early afternoon trip to Trader Joe’s did not start until after 4:00. […]

Another Thanksgiving Dinner That Couldn’t Be Beat

I’m home, relaxed, and ready to write. How did I spend my Thanksgiving? Alone in my apartment that I never left. I never got dressed. That’s always a great luxury. I had long satisfying conversations with two friends which kept the loneliness at bay. For dinner I ordered a duck from Chinese restaurant via GrubHub. […]

A miracle I’m writing. Work has been frustrating, I’ll leave it at that.  O friends, no more these sounds! Let us sing more cheerful songs, more full of joy! Raise your hand if you know what I am quoting. Why do I always see the same hands? Yes, it’s the introduction to Ode to Joy […]

Big news, I’m alive and blogging. I thought I had this working and blogging thing worked out, but I didn’t. Midterms through me off. Today I gave a makeup midterm so didn’t have time to write. It’s now 7:04 and I’m not exhausted, and I already watched Last Week Tonight so I will write. I […]

Alex Battling Depression

We’ve been having midterms and I’ve had trouble finding the time to write. What exciting things have happened? On Friday night I went to see Alex Battle at Sunny’s at the other end of the universe, aka Red Hook. It takes an hour and a half to get there. I had never seen Alex but […]

The Monday that Came on Thursday

Yay! I’m writing two days in a row. Let’s see if I can go back to doing this every day. Blogging is part of my sense of self. What else are parts of my sense of self? I was going to say DJ but that’s part of my man about folk. I’m a radical empiricist. […]

Laughing is a Cin…dy

Welcome to the second written in school edition of Wise Madness. I hate not blogging every day. The problem is that I have only four hours a day to get everything other than sleeping, commuting, and working, to live my life. I am living like most of the world for the first time in ages. […]

DART Board

Yesterday I had two adventures. The first was my once every eight week infusion. I got there early but was not taken early but on the other hand I wasn’t taken late. I must have angered the infusion chair placement gods; I had a manual chair in the corner in a crowded space and without […]
