Not Beige: November 2012
http://notbeige.blogspot.com/2012_11_01_archive.html
Wednesday, November 21, 2012. Because I won't have time tomorrow and because work is an irritating distraction from all the smells coming from my oven, writing some words of thanks to use up a unit seem appropriate. Thank you, family! When I need you, miles and miles of distance doesn't even phase you. You make it better. Everything, you make it better. Thank you, friends! Links to this post. Wednesday, November 7, 2012. Filth and Other Collectables. As I took the trash out this morning, I gave my usual ...

Not Beige: Slow Cookers and Other Snail-Paced Things
http://notbeige.blogspot.com/2014/01/slow-cookers-and-other-snail-paced.html
Thursday, January 30, 2014. Slow Cookers and Other Snail-Paced Things. The passage of time is simply sensational. It heals, grows, dissolves, ages, marinates, ferments, and a whole heap of other amazing things. And you don't even really need to do anything for time to work its magic, though some tolerance can help time pass in your favor. Many people think of time as a thing you can't get back and they see this as a problem. Sure, but who would want it? That word had felt so negative and hopeless 12 mont...

Not Beige: April 2013
http://notbeige.blogspot.com/2013_04_01_archive.html
Monday, April 29, 2013. Online Dating Vol. 2 - Response Rates and LL Cool J. Communication, I think we can all agree, is one of the most delicate, beautiful, tragic, complicated, important, moving, poorly done human tasks. It is a wonder we have managed to populate the planet at such an astounding rate when very many in our midst are incapable of exchanging even the most basic information. I'm sorry to report that 37% of messages I've received have been this: "Hey, how are you? I just picked my phone all...

Not Beige: November 2014

Tuesday, November 18, 2014. Who's On Your Zombie Apocalypse Team? If my Dad could come, that would also be really awesome. He is better than MacGyver. True story. I am now accepting applications. While the responsibility quotient is high and the likelihood of survival is low, I can promise a memorable exodus if it comes to that. I can also promise my all because if there is one thing I'm not giving up easily, it is this beautiful life. Serious inquiries only, please. Links to this post.

Not Beige: October 2014
http://notbeige.blogspot.com/2014_10_01_archive.html
Thursday, October 23, 2014. As my favorite month comes to a close, I have the usual feeling of dread. October has it all. Beauty, weather, music, pumpkin. My birthday has now come and gone. The rein of the indulgent Libra is ending. I'm not ready. I found myself in a cab the other night, wickedly cursing 2am as if it had just kicked my dog. I didn't want it to end. If there could just be a few more, a little longer, another at least. Then I could get it all done. Links to this post. My Way by Monty and F...

Not Beige: September 2013
http://notbeige.blogspot.com/2013_09_01_archive.html
Tuesday, September 3, 2013. I fell so hard. I find it therapeutic to put myself in new situations involving a rather Phoenix-like Ctrl Alt Delete. But, between burning it down and building it back up is usually the most lengthy, emotional, and taxing. It can be a wearisome job to live without roots or rules. So, I've become an expert at dangling in limbo and I do it with diligent regularity. Here's to 3 years and many more happy years to come. Love you, Texas! Links to this post.

Not Beige: July 2014

Wednesday, July 30, 2014. Originally written for the. Fall 2014 Austin Locale ACL Edition. What’s the best way to survive Austin City Limits Music Festival? Everyone has a recommended list of groceries to haul around, a survival kit of sorts. It always contains a sampling from the shelves of CVS spanning all manners of hygiene, first aide, feminine products, and skin care. I agree with all these lists, though aside from baby wipes you probably won't use any of it. Also determine where to meet after the f...
