why I’m not a dog lover

Published: 21 December 2009
I was just reading Rose’s post about her mom’s dog being mean toward male guests and it reminded me that I had aimed to write a post about why it is that I don’t really like dogs. I stayed at Jon’s aunt’s house a few days ago and they had two indoor dogs. [...]

cricket wars

Published: 30 September 2009
My bathroom has been filled with crickets since I moved into this apartment. I haven’t minded, and in fact I’ve rather enjoyed them; they’re cute little hoppy things that I have to rescue from the tub sometimes before I shower. When I first moved in, they were itty bitty baby crickets, and now [...]

Edward Cullen, spider squisher

Published: 28 August 2009
So I went into my bathroom earlier and saw a dried-out husk of a spider clinging to the back of my bathrobe. I thought to myself “Well that’s gross, I wonder how long that’s been hanging on there.” I forgot about it till later when I came back to the bathroom. Deciding [...]

cat v. dog diaries

Published: 18 December 2008
My mom sent me the following in an email. I remember reading the cat’s account of life before somewhere online, but I’ve never seen the dog’s account, nor have I seen the two paired together. I love the difference between them. Excerpts from a Dog’s Diary 8:00 am – Dog food! My favorite thing! 9:30 am [...]

new layout, recent activities

Published: 23 August 2008
After half a year, I’ve finally put up a new layout. It’s one I tinkered around with today and, while I’m not ecstatic about it, I do like it well enough to release it. It helps that I’ve gotten sick of looking at the old theme. I’ve only got access to my [...]

nibbling kittens and back at work

Published: 10 June 2008
Huzzah, I’m not dead after all! I’m sorry if anybody has been anxiously awaiting a new blog post here; I tell you, I get my evenings entirely free of homework because school’s out and I blog less than when the semester is in swing. I think it’s because during the school year I [...]

kittens are out

Published: 11 May 2008
I returned from a visit to my parents’ house two days ago and I bring wonderful news: the “tomcat” that miraculously had kittens brought them out the first night I was home. Mom came in to tell me and Dad that she heard meowing near the attic of the shed where they were [...]

roach v. spider

Published: 5 November 2007
So I was sitting on my couch last night, coloring (yes, coloring, as in with Crayolas and a print-out of Disney’s Sleeping Beauty, darn it), when I felt something crawl across my leg. I thought immediately that it was a roach, because even though I’ve greatly reduced their numbers around here (thank you, boric [...]

possum on campus

Published: 23 October 2007
While walking to lunch with Todd and Eric today, we saw a couple of girls in front of us on the sidewalk, coming our way. All of a sudden, they kind of flew away from a particular spot on the sidewalk, yelling. Todd, Eric, and I were confused and alarmed; I was able [...]
