Were you so sad, then? I asked, "on the day of the forty-four sunsets? But the little prince made no reply. Tuesday, July 29, 2003. Oh, the humanity! Why why WHY does the grocery store in Harmony carry 37 different types of barbecue sauce and not a single jar of tahini? Posted by: Elaine / 9:17 PM. This life that I'm living, the life of the unemployed, is pretty great. I'm fairly certain that I could amuse myself for years, just hauling wood and baking and reading and spending time in the forest. 1 Thesp...

Were you so sad, then? I asked, "on the day of the forty-four sunsets? But the little prince made no reply. Saturday, June 28, 2003. In less than nine hours. I will be cruising down the highway (if one can 'cruise' in my brother's '89 Accord; personally, I think that cruising is a matter of attitude- a certain vibe) with Ben and Brooke, heading out to the ocean. No work, no Pittsburgh accents, no computers for a whole week. Just sand, water, books, and card games galore. What is this universe. Granted, I...

Were you so sad, then? I asked, "on the day of the forty-four sunsets? But the little prince made no reply. Monday, October 02, 2006. Turning over a new leaf. Perhaps. Still, I embrace it without shame or reservation. New leaf turnover. Quality of life decisions, from here on out. Posted by: Elaine / 2:01 PM. How does evangelical existentialism compare with christian hedonism, a pet of mine? Comparing myself- and being compared- to my older brother". Who externally is comparing you?

Were you so sad, then? I asked, "on the day of the forty-four sunsets? But the little prince made no reply. Tuesday, October 17, 2006. The ongoing effort to be continually aware. I don't think it's just that I'm "turned about and overwhelmed by tiny happenings" and am thus moved by matters that would be inconsequential to others- moments in time just make themselves so clear and I can't but be totally taken aback by them. Posted by: Elaine / 11:12 AM. Do you know about the dueling piano place downtown?

Were you so sad, then? I asked, "on the day of the forty-four sunsets? But the little prince made no reply. Tuesday, October 10, 2006. Hands-down creepiest work encounter thus far. Is ready right when we open. He proceeded to just be generally nasty to me while I poured him his cup of coffee. When I gave it to him with a frosty-but-polite smile and bid him good day, he looked at me for a long time, smirked, and said,. I was nice to him- "kill them with kindness," as my mom would say- and he remained the ...

A 20-pound mother, simmering in his juices for six hours. Yes indeed, finding out how to successfully carve a turkey was just one more thing to chalk up for my list of newfound domesticity. I think not. Hmmm. Posted by: Elaine / 10:20 PM. Thursday, December 25, 2003. Being on Christmas Break. There's really not much...

Were you so sad, then? I asked, "on the day of the forty-four sunsets? But the little prince made no reply. Monday, September 18, 2006. Quotes and books and autumnal thoughts. It is bitter for the young to see what awful innocence adults grow into, that terrible vulnerability that must be sheltered from the rodent mire of childhood. Can we blame the child for resenting the fantasy of largeness? Katherine Dunn, in Geek Love. Or Henry and June. The weather is getting colder and jackets have been brought ou...

Were you so sad, then? I asked, "on the day of the forty-four sunsets? But the little prince made no reply. Tuesday, September 19, 2006. Forever finding ways to get out of copyediting. My deadline is looming but have I begun this month's worth of copyediting? Well, yes. But my progress has been dreadfully slow and characterized almost fully by two frustrated hours of staring at incorrect citations and then a week and a half. Of ignoring them completely. On Dooce nearly made me choke on my tea.

Were you so sad, then? I asked, "on the day of the forty-four sunsets? But the little prince made no reply. Tuesday, September 19, 2006. Today has been a continuous assault on my nostrils. I don't consider my olfactory sense to be the keenest of the five, but smell conjures up such strong associations in me, and my nostrils will be among the first to flare at the smallest sign of trouble. Posted by: Elaine / 6:18 PM. But did she tip?

Were you so sad, then? I asked, "on the day of the forty-four sunsets? But the little prince made no reply. Thursday, October 19, 2006. Seeing your father lying in his own blood on the pavement. Seeing something like that was like getting punched in the stomach; I came home in sort of a daze and just shuffled through the rest of the evening. Woke up this morning to find that the knot in my stomach hasn't gone away- I just keep wincing and shaking my head and frowning a bit from time to time. While I have...
