Don’t Mind Me, I’m Just Miffled
My brain invented a new word today, and that word is “miffled,” which describes the sort of pissy confusion I’ve been feeling all week. It’s a conflation of the word “miffed” and “baffled,” but you probably already figured that out, you big smarties. The urban dictionary calls this “word-bining,” but I’ve just decided it’s really called “blording,” which you pronounce with the “ur” sound of “blur” and “word,” not the “or” sound of “lord.” And “lord” have I “blorded” two new words today? Color me “miffled.”

For Messy, with Love & Squalor
My housekeepers are here right now, and let me tell you, if I didn’t pony up the ducats for their biweekly cleansing regimen, producers from high-channel cable stations would be scouting my ass for their new show on Those Who Live in Filth. And honestly, if they paid even marginally well, I might consider it.

For Mushy, Who’s Just Miffled
I took a bunch of pictures last night and about five out of 500 are crisp at 100%. The others are a warm bath on a hot day, which is too bad because there are some ruined gems in there. Sigh. I kind of miss the half-assed cameraphone days, when it was the light leaks and vignetting that made each shot special. Now I’m getting all picky, picky, picky. Sometimes knowing more means enjoying less. (There must be a word for that. Let’s make one up…)

Today I feel…

Wafty and untethered. Verging on the unwell, although I’m probably just underslept.

I wish I could…

Take to my bed for laptop television and the tender ministrations of my tiny dogs.

mummy uncovered

My heart tells me…

The gym ain’t gonna happen today. Also, it’s a no go on the cleaning.

whale

If I were an animal…

I would pee all over the kitchen floor….everybody else is doing it!

tassie devil

My life is…

In a sort of stuck-flux state. I need to figure out a way to monetize this eternal transition.

falling lights

My house is…

Still the drag on my anchor. Also a palace of squalor and filth at the moment (see above).

house

My job is…

Still my job. Phooey and hallelujah.

cookie hug

My love life is…

Jealousy! Intrigue! Longing! Regret! But what else would you expect from three-way relationship with a couple of little pissers?

crystal knuckles

I’m obsessed with…

My new camera. Serious geekery, no lie. I’m all white balance this and aperture that, dreaming of F stops and shutter speeds.

me window no face

I’m looking forward to…

Taking short trips to places I’ve never been this spring, so I can walk endlessly with my camera. Digital dérive, baby. It’s what’s for dinner.

bird feet

Maybe I’ll come to your town and we’ll get lost together.

Okay, now you.
