• Engler, Unplugged.

    Due to my current computer conundrum, I feel it necessary to get a post up on the time I have before my boyfriend gets out of work to usurp the employee computers to get a post up while I can. At first, though, I was a bit worried that I wouldn’t have much to say,…

  • Winsome, Losesome.

    Some of you who are friends with me on Facebook may have noticed a post from me the other day despairing about the state of my laptop. Unfortunately, not much has changed on that front; I still have a busted, nonfunctioning piece of machinery that is doing me absolutely no good right now. Which has…

  • Ketchup. [A RoW80 Post].

    And so the ugly side of shift work finally rears its ugly head. A few openings thrown into the mix will throw the whole thing off, and I missed my first RoW80 check-in post. Dun-dun-DUUUUN! Yeah, the whole point of RoW80 is that it’s okay if life sweeps you up for a bit, but it’s…

  • I absolutely adore my new apartment; it’s charming as hell, cozy as fuck, and I’m constantly surrounded by books. It’s on the corner of a nice street in a great neighborhood, and I can’t wait for the rows of trees out there to start budding to make the view even better. This last benefit, however,…

Siler, author of this month’s featured story, “Nanos Khund and the Traveler.” I had a chance to “sit down” (i.e. email) Mr. Siler to delve a little bit into his work,…

Last year, when I started my journey for a healthier me, watching my diet and all this walking helped me lose about thirty pounds. I gained a little bit over the winter, what…

  • Here at this blog, I don’t really talk about my Day Job very much A good portion of this is just because, when the world is as connected as it is these days, I’d hate for some rant or complaint I might have find its ways into some awful HR debacle over being inappropriate or…

  • Time is a funny thing, isn’t it? All yesterday, I had been planning on getting home after work, settling in to write out a blog post that wasn’t about RoW80, because, for the life of me, I was truly thinking that today was not Wednesday. I didn’t even up writing that post; I got home…

  • Here I am, making my third post in a row about (…err…) RoW. And that’s okay. It isn’t as though I haven’t had anything else to talk about. In fact, there’s a whole list of things I want to talk about, including five books that I’ve finished in the last month or so. I’ve had…

  • Normally, I wouldn’t like having two of the “same type” of posts in a row on my blog (in this case, RoW80 updates), but I’m trying to be better about my weird little quirks and consistency, so I’m just going to suck it up and give you all my update. We’re only two days into…
