Life lately, speaking just of my own tiny sphere, has been very full but mostly with good things. 1. I’ve seen a lot of family including my mom who is back from India for a little bit 2. Agent Cooper had a urinary blockage and ended up essentially getting a sex change operation… which after […]
Last night, Erin and I went to Kate’s Prince-themed birthday party at Flicker Bar. I honestly can’t think of a better way to celebrate life– your own, Prince’s, or just generally– than dancing with Purple Rain projected on loop and a steady stream of glittery cocktails. This might be the only Prince party in history […]
♥︎Resist: Thank you Desert Island, Françoise Mouly, the artists, and the cool people/places that distrubted this. Jessica was able to get a copy at Avid Bookshop before they were all snapped up and reading it brightened a bleak day. Mooost of the comics are by women; all are choice. ♥︎Athens Day of Resistance: Good vibes, […]
Yesterday was my last shift at the library. It. was. fabulous. I loved the work, patrons, and co-workers (many of whom, I’m proud to say have become great pals). I got this job a couple weeks after we moved to Georgia and here we are, two and a half years later! I’m a huge Wu-Tang […]
One good thing this year was ALL THE CATS. We had our resident cool cats, Matilda Cackle and Agent Cooper, then we had guest kittens via the Athens Humane Society! Taking home these fluffy balls of cuteness with official instructions to “love them and fatten them up,” was a dream (granted, one that involved a […]
To borrow the words of my co-worker, Halloween is essentially a month-long holiday in Athens. It’s one of the many things that makes this town so special. (I started this post right after Halloween but here I am at the airport, rushing to finish before my flight. I’ll fix any glaring typos or misses at […]
After a week of rain, Erin and I took advantage of a warm, cloudless day to check out the graffiti under the Pulaski tracks. I’d never been before but it seems to have frequent visitors so I’ll be back to check out changes. Athens, you are amazing.
In May, a pair of geese decided to make their home on one of Target’s parking lot islands. They were there for over a month and it such an odd thing to drive by. In defense of humans, I think we all kept a respectful distance, but there’s no denying these love birds got a […]
Back in February, the Wendy’s by my office caught fire. It remains closed but the menu was updated with delightful nightmare food. Forget french fries. Get yourself a Snake Burg, Dahmer Bites, or a sack of elbows! #intheATH is something my Flagpole co-workers came up with that is still really funny to me. I’m sorry […]
Sometimes it feels like we left Seattle a few weeks ago, a few months ago tops. Other times, it feels like we’ve been in Athens for ages with the days just dribbling away. I was in this same limbo-funk when I first moved from New York to Seattle- and before that, when I moved from […]
