\u2022 Random thought that just popped into my head while I was taking a shower: Is Jim Varney dead?<\/i> Yes. Yes, he is<\/a>. And what’s so weird about that particular thought popping into my head today is that the anniversary of his death was yesterday. My shine is weak. <\/p>\n

\u2022 I’m sitting here with wet hair and a list of errands that can’t be run until the hair is dry. So what am I doing? Nothing that involves picking up the blow dryer, naturally.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Somehow I’ve let my bookshelves overflow and books have begun creeping into the half of my bed that I don’t sleep on. I don’t mind it all that much, actually. They don’t get jealous when I give attention to other books, and they don’t get grumpy when I turn on the lamp in the middle of the night, or when I snore or hog the covers, which I would totally never do. But this clearly points to two things: My need for more shelving and my inability these days to pick a book and stick with it the whole way through before cracking open another. <\/p>\n

\u2022 Actually, I did finish one of those books up there Friday night: Sharon Olds’ Blood, Tin, Straw<\/i>. I know a lot of people are torn about Olds’ poetry and some people think is straight-up sucks, but I happen to love it. It’s visceral, and often too pragmatic and matter-of-fact while being sweepingly metaphoric, but there is something so fearless about its honesty that I can’t help but like it. If you need a sappy love poem to read to your SO this Thursday, you could try this one<\/a> (forgive the Comic Sans). <\/p>\n

\u2022 I think I’ll go see The Savages<\/i> some time today. One of the more interesting aspects of being single is the part where you go to movies by yourself. (I know there are some non-single people who do this too; I’m just saying, when I was part of a couple, I never would have gone to a movie alone because there’s all sorts of relationship politics tied up in going to see movies without the other partner.) I went last week to see There Will Be Blood<\/i> by myself, and had a pretty great time. Although, it does feel kind of weird to laugh when there’s no one beside you laughing too. (Blood<\/i> was fantastic, and yes, there were funny parts. At least they were funny to me.)<\/p>\n

\u2022 I’m ready for spring. And things that are green.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
