Utility my ass
The Massachusetts Department of Telecommunications and Energy (which took over from the Department of Public Utilities) should be ashamed of itself. Verizon public telephone charges $0.70 for a ONE MINUTE local telephone call. Now I have never been anything but … Continue reading

eleventh
This is dsc00011.jpg, the eleventh photo I took with my then-brandie-new camera, the Sony DSC-F717, in February of 2003. Yikes! Such a long time ago. That is still a camera as yet unreplaced. True, I have moved on to a … Continue reading

upon the end
So now what? You know, a bad movie can do some good things. Especially, when one is as emotionally fragile as I, one may perceive profound movement of things ancient and unmoved, even in a bad movie. Perhaps I am … Continue reading
unsafe
I absolutely love chaos, which is nothing more, really, than the potential for disaster. Opportunities for disaster fascinate me and draw me in. I can’t resist sticking my fingers into fan blades. I used to play with matches before I … Continue reading

Work called today. Somebody was out, they wanted me to come in. But I was so bad yesterday that I was feeling that familiar fondness for the rope (and I don’t mean the one with the life ring at the … Continue reading

fifty again
Already time for bed, again. Why does this always happen? Another day is gone, and I’m just getting here. Anyway, I told my boss today to take her bonus and stick it. She wanted to give fifty bucks each to … Continue reading
nuts
What am I, fuckin’ nuts!?! Well, yes. I am. This, dearies, is the ugly side of a DSL addiction. There is no treatment. If there were, I would not want it since I already know what the treatment is for … Continue reading

I actually did a couple of the things that have been on my To Do list for about the last year. Here’s the latest:. I have a new doctor. I haven’t had a PCP since Jan 2000, which may not … Continue reading

loss It represents only
loss It represents only 1 ping every ten minutes, and in the space of ten minutes this DSL connection goes up and down more often than me on a good night. In the time it takes me to write a … Continue reading

Ok. Enough of this. My astrologer tells me I take myself much too seriously. (Yeah, an astrologer. What else would I call her, an angel?). I was going to get all tangled up in some new javascript that I found, … Continue reading
Simple. A new start, gracious
Simple. A new start, gracious though ungraceful – panicky even. I am close to the end, the parts amputated are still nearby, sheddings of a weightful something – old trauma perhaps, but more likely sheddings of a present fear. Just … Continue reading
