55 y/o malcontent, something of a writer

Welcome to My Little Corner of the Internet

Random thoughts, unsolicited opinions, personal stories, and the occasional rant. I’ve been around long enough to have a few things to say, and apparently nobody thought to stop me from putting them on the internet.

Let fate decide what you read next.

  • To Boldly Go Where No Cat Has Gone Before…

    I’ve gotten a little smarter, I no longer spend 45 minutes attempting to put the cats in their carriers, I just scoop them up one at a time and carry them to the vehicle. “It’s ok baby, it will be ok, I’m right here.” The UHaul Truck proved to be better than most for the cats, they could crawl under the drivers seat and just hide there and cry, so they did. The antennae for…

  • Ready, Set…

    I’m packed, mostly, the computer is still up (obviously) and I have some cleaning to do… but I am ready. I think it will be ok if I leave today, so that’s my goal, to head out for DC now, otherwise I’m basically sleeping on the floor tonight anyway.

  • Learning to Swim

    I just wanted to fit in, all the other kids knew how to swim, but there I was in my trunks without a real clue what to do in the water. Sure I waded in and splashed about, but I had no idea how to kick my feet and move my arms to swim like everyone else. I didn’t want to appear as if I didn’t know what I was doing, so I faked it.…

  • No Idea

    I managed to pass my Algebra Final, not sure how… but I did… so I do NOT have a R (repeat) or a U (unsatisfactory). It’s over… I will fight tooth and nail to never take any type of mathematics again.

  • What did you forget? EVERYTHING!!!

    So, first, I missed an entire essay that was due for my ENG 252 Class. No worries, truly didn’t know I had to do it and the Professor is letting me turn it in late. I have it mostly written at this point. Algebra… what did I forget? A “-” not a “+” in the quadratic formula… wrote it wrong, explains why it didn’t work out on the exam. How to find the length of…

  • Grade Update

    This morning I received the grade for my term paper and my ENG 112 class… both A’s. My ENG 252 Class will be a low A or high B. An A in Self-Defense. And hopefully an S in Algebra… but I don’t care, we’ll pretend it’s imaginary.

  • Unsplittable Square Roots

    Oh my God, I hate math… now I’m having nightmares about square roots not splitting… the square root of 36 just wouldn’t split … I tried and tried, but it was being stubborn and I spent the entire test trying to fix it… AAAARRRRGGGHHH

  • Classes draw near their end…

    Today was the last Self-Defense class, got an A… woo hoo. Not sure I could actually defend myself, but I could give it more of a try than I could have before. I took my final exam for my World Literature Class on Sunday, still waiting on a grade for the class. This morning or was it afternoon? I finished my research paper on the dreaded subject: Hamlet. I am only proud of the last…

  • Bunchism by Proxy

    It was the same every night, she’s sit there; bare legs tucked under her, a romance novel in one hand and the other holding some chocolate or perhaps a fork with a piece of steak on the end. Usually, if us kids had been lucky we had Mac and Cheese for dinner… if not just the mac. There always seemed to be money for a new romance novel, chocolate and steak for Mom, but mac…

  • Boolean Society

    At the 100th Anniversary Convention of the Boolean Society, the worlds most secret organization, the biggest conspiracy of them all is finally revealed. The organizations members with the most clout, money, meet to discuss the history of math and how their vast plan has moved forward over the centuries. It all started with two people in particular who hated everything to do with the art, music and theatre. They set out to slow down such…
