Zombie Bugs III: Redux
Those of you who have been around for a while probably remember my fight with the zombie bugs here in the apartment. If you don’t, you can read episode one here and episode two here. After the Raid-bomb they disappeared for a while. For months I rested, content in the knowledge that I’d murdered every…

We Have Become the Future (thoughts on technology-reliance)
I’m just going to start off by saying that I hate that the word technology has become short-hand for “computer-and-internet-related tech” specifically.

True Love is Muffins

“Beauty Regimen”
I hate that term. Beauty regimen. I know where it [ostensibly] comes from: the use of ‘beauty’ products in a routine; on a daily basis. (This, of course, isn’t a precise use of the word regimen, which specifically refers to (among other things) a routine that contributes to one’s health. Health, as you know, is not…
