between the dust and the debris

I’ll update later today (it’s after midnight, it’s today!) with hair and cat photos, if I don’t completely forget. As you do. It’s snowy snow snowing outside again. Another 4″ on top of the 8″ we had (that, to be fair, had melted down by half at least) over the weekend, with [...]

and I notice these things

I really like the Aspie Teacher, and need to add her to my blogroll. I usually re-discover her blog when I’m playing on the autism hub and a new post comes up, and it’s always insightful and very helpful.
I’ve been thinking about perseveration since New Year’s Eve, when I read this post [...]

I’m telling you every day

Like most days at work, I’ve been hanging out on the autism hub reading; like very few days, I’m actually responding to something I read.
So, Sarah talked about self-diagnosis and the hate that seems to come with that word (or similar, like self-identifying or self-labelling). Some of what she said I found really meaningful, [...]

we’ll work it out

First of all, I think that this expresses my current mood best. There is a box of sugar cookies behind me, taunting.
True story: I once made Dylan a sugar cookie fiend out of fleece and it plays the sugar cookies rampage. I am aware that you are stunned at my awesome.
I’m also currently [...]

that lazy old truth, been lying there for weeks

Photos and stuffs.
First of all, Stina and Dylan and I went to Boo Gardens on the last day it was open for Howl-o-scream (previously “halloscream”), November 1. I meant to try to get this photo the last time we were there, in September, but that proved impossible due to lighting conditions and the horrible [...]

she’ll never reach her wit’s end

Two important things:
1. My very good friend Stina is 25 as of today. I have made her an awesome present of awesomeness, which I’ll discuss after her party as she reads this blog.
2. I love anagrams. I especially love challenging anagrams. And I am here to tell you that there are at [...]

Adam, Adam

Well that title didn’t provide me any challenge.
Dylan and I went to see Adam on Wednesday. It was a free screening hosted by Fox, which we drove to Baltimore to attend. I will try to keep this as spoiler-free as possible for those who don’t wish to be spoiled.
Why did I suggest we [...]

their point of view

I haven’t disappeared! I’m a single-draft writer–I do all my editing and writing internally and then write it up in one go–and have a handful of posts that I’m ruminating on at the moment:
1. Migraines, seizures, and autism.
2. Making and keeping friends as an adult on the spectrum, and why this is so fucking [...]
