good advice from my first year review debriefing - “don’t ever change your work so that guy can understand it better.”

today, i discovered that the best way to cool off stiff & steamed legs without a tub is by saran wrapping ice packs around each stem. unexpected fun bonus: michelin man / robot impressions are more fun / believable.

More great ways to draw attention to yourself while hanging out at the coffee shop pretending you’re doing something important on your MacBook.
Someone’s a little grumpy today.

I used to be a Gentry style smoker back in my smoking days.  Now I only smoke when I have a cocktail so I’ve taken up the Stealth pose.  I guess that’s to hide the shame of my smokey wayward ways.

I still am a Gentry style smoker bordering on the cusp of Woman and Twee since my little finger has a mind of it’s own and was the object of great consternation and a good deal of abuse by my former piano teacher Miss Mamie Middlebrook.  I prefer to hold my drink and my cigarette together in the same hand with the other hand resting lightly upon my waist because I think it gives me a more balanced “I’m a little teapot” look and makes me appear visually more slim.
A little something that Miss Rittelmeyer might appreciate.

Terrific.

you thought I didn’t really notice. But I did. I wanted to high-five you.


Yesterday I had a pair of brothers in my store. One was maybe between 15-17. He was a wrestler at the local high school. Kind of tall, stocky and handsome. He had a younger brother, who was maybe about…

Ladies building tanks in the Craneway at the Ford Factory in Richmond, CA.
It was abandoned for nearly two decades and then renovated into a private events pavilion.

In 2010, this was the first place I ever played competitive roller derby in public.

holy moly.  i forgot about you tumblr.  my phone won’t upload photos to you anymore.  maybe it will be fixed tomorrow with my touch screen.
this is the floor where i rollerskate now.  it’s so beautifully worn from six seasons of roller derby.  they’re re-finishing it this week.

new things a-brewing, i’ll be better about keeping you abreast.
