That title was, a few moments ago, "The Last Few Day's" but that was sort of boring. I like to flip words up and down; shake them and stretch them until they make no sense and then finally make sense....

I am bloody well tired. Moved two days ago. Will I ever stop moving?   Things:   Less space until renos are done. I need space. I need room to move. To breathe. And so this is particularly disconc...

11:39 A.M.   Alright, Putting the timeline on it because blogging in here is sort of how I procrastinate. I mean, I should write in here, I guess--Right? It's great reading about my dog, desire for ...

  There is something sacred to be found in giving up; you are suddenly free....

I hate missing.   I hate missing people I should not miss.   I hate how you can feel it in your chest and rampant in your mind.   It's an empty feeling full of misplaced longing.   I could be ...

It's a little bit before 7:00 a.m. over here on the West Coast. It's been brilliantly hot which is sort of strange considering a week ago we had 60k winds. But I live on--err beside--the ocean so that...

OK. 8:07 a.m. Lot's of work today, I digress, but first some bollocks.   Well this is certainly not bollocks. I do make great coffee. This started young.   "Mummmmmy, can I have some of your coffe...

I am exhausted.   A week of insomnia--never much fun. I avoid the sleeping pills because they make me even more tired in the morning. Yes, I am whining. Stop reading if you like because this will pr...

Life Inside: A Memoir by Mindy LewisMy rating: 3 of 5 starsOkay...Well...Hmmm. That's how I feel about this one. Mindy is sent to a psychiatric hospital because she's pretty much like any other kid ci...

The Help by Kathryn StockettMy rating: 5 of 5 starsI don't read much fiction.For the 50-ish books I read each year perhaps five are fiction. Also, books (like this one) that arrive with a lot of hype-...

What a kick-ass title. I think I might love it. To explain why might get me some nasty hate mail. But that might be fun. So long as said hate is focused on my personality on not, say, my hair. Or some...

First, I got to 6th posts. With the goal of seven. Can you believe this? I was really feeling like a fucking narcissist. Moving on. . .   I am really sorry that I keep mentioning the Pope but I have...

This is the 6th day of blog posts. No clue why I am doing this save for the fact that I am spending all my time securing new work so I can get out of this little town I seem to have landed in only 8 m...

That is Spanish, I think. I forget although this was a minute ago.   OK sometimes societal and political issues bother me. I have been mentioning The Pope all week. But with satire--Now Pope Franci...

I could not handle the title. Four days in a row.   Backward; I usually live in a backward sort of way. So, that does suffice. And I love the word suffice. Other words that are pretty fucking great...

The title is beginning to irritate me. Imagine on day 6? How bothersome this will be? I mean how much can I really say?    I did write an entire book about myself, so, I don't know---extend to 30 da...

When I was younger, I hated my name. Well this part Natalie JEANNE Champagne. This because I used to hate wearing jeans and so it generally pissed me off. Mind you I was 13 or 14 BUT STILL--such thing...

So I stated seven days of blog posts like some sort of literary martyr I think that was almost a week ago. Bravo me! Patting myself on the back here! Starting back at 1   Christ, my creativity is at...

I like goals. But this one is stupid. It is an attempt to inspire some creativity. I need it. So, this is self-serving, and delete from your inbox if you like. I just need to write so I can write some...
