  • Fresh Air and Kids

    Today was pleasant after the rain stopped, so I put the chairs out on the porch. I sat with Ben for awhile and Alex wanted to come out so I got up and let him sit down so I could record the two of them. Alex got bored and went back inside, I got a…

  • Fortune Cookies

    I am the only one in the house that can and will eat fortune cookies. I got Egg Fu Yung and three fortune cookies. I’m also drinking a Blood Orange Radler. Perhaps the last part is for the best, because my fortunes weren’t very good ones. One was about sports, one was about living by…

  • Immortal Perfected Teeth

    I have some small hope that I will be resurrected with a perfect frame. I really like the idea of immortal perfected teeth. I wouldn’t mind me some immortal perfected eyes neither. Is it a fairy tale? Is it something the oppressors tell the masses to keep us quiet in our suffering? Are my body’s…

  • Intoxicated

    I don’t have anything to go out of the house for tomorrow, so I am intoxicated tonight. This is becoming pretty typical for my Friday nights. Just mellow. Fed, fasting, and mellow. Stay Awesome, Stay Weird, or Stay Away.

  • TV looks fake!

    I’ve been watching shows from the 80s for which I have grown nostalgic. Old grainy film. Real costumes. Stephanie is watching new TV shows. And they just look fake to me. For all the miracles of modern technology I don’t think CGI is among them. It just lacks the charm of stop motion and claymation.…

  • Too Much Caffeine

    Stephanie drinks a lot of caffeine because it helps with her ADHD. Sometimes I am foolish enough to try to keep up. In the past 24 hours I have had too much caffeine. I am shaky. There’s not a lot I can do but wait until it is out of my system. I took a…

  • Stacks of Books

    Alex is sitting across the room from me in the easy chair. He had taken all the books off the shelf next to him and made a pile in his lap taller than his head. He loves stacks of books. He has many. Some of them become his permanently. This one probably won’t. Oddly enough…

  • Jesus’s Birthday

    The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints was founded on April 6th, 1830. While it is not canonical, some Mormons including myself believe this happened on Jesus’s Birthday. The Christmas date just makes less and less sense to me as time goes on. Why were shepards in the field with their flocks in…

  • Peacemakers

    The Prophet wants me to be a peacemaker. He wants me to stop being contentious and using foul language. But mostly he wants me to worship Jesus Christ. Even on Easter I don’t feel particularly Christian. The verse of the day was John 3:16 and it’s not much comfort. I keep asking myself, “Do I…

  • Logging Out

    Most sites on the internet make it too easy to stay logged in. It is convenient and for anything that doesn’t seem particularly sensitive I don’t care. But there are a few sites that I want to remain logged out of on my phone. If the phone is lost or stolen, I want it to…
