Rachael & Vilray Does Not Rhyme With Till Day

We have returned to the Golden Age of Wise Madness; Missing a day is unusual for me and I’m writing about live music; both are exceptionally good for my mental health. I’ll start by writing about Rachael & Vilray. They did a WFUV Marquee member show Tuesday night at Rockwood Music Hall Stage 2. I’m […]

A Grain of Sand

Last night I made the trek down to Prospect Lefferts Gardens in Brooklyn to see Jean Rohe at the Owl. Jean is perhaps may favorite musician and The Owl is a hoot. I should just stop right there; you now know everything you need to know about me. I won’t because you don’t know everything […]

Meditations on Depression with Eggs

I just resisted the urge to eat first and decided to blog. That’s a good thing. I didn’t write yesterday. Yesterday morning I got a call from my favorite receptionist at the hospital I get my therapy. She did not call because she missed me. She called to tell me that therapy was canceled. She […]

Idiot² Story

I’m still not writing every day and that’s not good. Do I remember anything that happened since I last wrote? I made a life-changing discovery a few days ago. Aldi now carries Irish bangers! Guess what I had for dinner that night? You are so smart; you knew it was bangers & mash. I’m having […]

The Christine and Deirdre Saga

I’m writing this the Megabus to Boston. The promised Wi-Fi is nonexistent. Fortunately, since the last time this happened to me my phone plan includes hotspots. None of that helps with being stuck in traffic. The bus left 34th street and 11th avenue at 3:30. An hour and a half later we just crossed under […]

The Way My Brain Works or Doesn’t

Let’s see if I’m awake enough to write. I’m working the polls on Tuesday; that means being there from 5 AM to about 10 PM. I’m planning on waking up around 4:15, that is much closer to when I usually go to sleep. I decided to spend the weekend shifting my internal clock. Usually I […]

No Work

I didn’t get the job. I decided to tear the band-aid off. I didn’t even expect to hear from them until next week instead I heard yesterday. I have no idea what happened as the interview went so well and I got nothing but praise from the interviewers. I won’t speculate, at least I won’t […]

Indulgences

I saw two concerts the last two nights, Dar Williams with Crys Matthews on Thursday and the Murphy Beds with Ivan Goff on Saturday. By skipping yesterday, I now can’t do either show justice, especially when I have personal things to discuss too. I’m drinking my second perfect cup of coffee as I write, that […]

Waiting for Godot, I mean Wendy

Ugh. I’ve stayed home all day waiting for the super to come to fix something. It’s now almost 4 PM. I need to go shopping and do my laundry. Why haven’t I written my blog yet? You know, it’s because I’m an idiot. Why is this as far as I got writing? My phone rang. […]

Yesterday’s adventure was going to the Met game. Tonight’s too. I could have heard live music right before by Terry Waldo but instead I’m blogging and making a phone call I have to make. I’m paying for my procrastination. I should run to the supermarket, but I forgot what I need. My faults are coming […]
