The Almost Quiet: Sunday Scribblings: I Carry
http://thealmostquiet.blogspot.com/2007/11/sunday-scribblings-i-carry.html
Not Quite. Shushed. Sunday, November 18, 2007. Sunday Scribblings: I Carry. A bottle full of water. A book or two. Discount cards for stores I don't frequent. I miss you all the time. Even when I escape the memories of your limp nostril and motionless chest. August 24, 2008 at 10:05 PM. A big black and red bag. Pens that belonged to you. A photo of you. A photo of Matt. Memories of my sleep dreams of you. Overpowering sense of loss. Regret, regret, regret. November 18, 2008 at 11:13 AM. We Talk the Talk.

The Almost Quiet: Call me sappy, I'll punch you in the face.
http://thealmostquiet.blogspot.com/2007/11/call-me-sappy-ill-punch-you-in-face.html
Not Quite. Shushed. Monday, November 19, 2007. Call me sappy, I'll punch you in the face. Seriously, because I can hardly stress enough the value and integrity and beauty and pure genius of the people around me on a daily basis - and those traits are especially prevalent, I feel, among my friends. I will not give a list here, because I am sure to forget someone or something and this is no time to be particular or upset because you feel you've been ignored. Just take in the fact that I appreciate you.

The Almost Quiet: Momentum 9
http://thealmostquiet.blogspot.com/2007/11/momentum-9.html
Not Quite. Shushed. Monday, November 26, 2007. On Saturday, as I described (and provided a picture of), I went to the ICA and saw an exhibit that really stuck with me - Momentum 9: Kader Attia. It has stuck with me through today. I thought of those ghosts all day today. In the dark dormitory designed. With plywood in mind and bare. Bulbs, I can feel the ghosts. They. Are the withered walking dead. Tired Their mattresses cling. To their shapes like the wild. Mother to stillborn baby-in-arms. Multi-faceted...

The Almost Quiet: How to Start the Weekend: Choose my adventure.
http://thealmostquiet.blogspot.com/2007/12/how-to-start-weekend-choose-my.html
Not Quite. Shushed. Saturday, December 1, 2007. How to Start the Weekend: Choose my adventure. Go to the craft fair at your place of business, which your company sponsors during the holiday season. Walk over there - it's in the other building - after a day of not feeling so well. A couple times today, you got up and just didn't feel well. You got a cold - or a throat thing - coming on. No big deal, but you might be a little tired. So you walk over there. It starts to ache. Apt: A Literary Magazine.

The Almost Quiet: December 2007
http://thealmostquiet.blogspot.com/2007_12_01_archive.html
Not Quite. Shushed. Wednesday, December 5, 2007. That's the name of the Orhan Pamuk novel I'm intently reading right now; it's also the name for the frozen, hexagonal bits of water that have been falling from the sky this week. I had forgotten that I had started to hate the cold. I used to love it. I could walk around in weather like this (30° Fahrenheit) without a coat (or sweaters! But my tolerance has waned. Now the cold hurts me all over. I long for somewhere with milder weather year-round. A couple ...

The Almost Quiet: Holiday. Celebrate.
http://thealmostquiet.blogspot.com/2007/11/holiday-celebrate.html
Not Quite. Shushed. Sunday, November 25, 2007. Left work on Wednesday. Watched Donnie make Turkey and Cobbler. He's a pro. Found an extremely awkward situation in my mother's living room. Situation quickly became even more uncomfortable with the arrival of my mom's husband's (NOT my "step father") parents. My mom's husband is a year older than I am. He used to live across the street. His parents have never met my maternal grandparents. It was.the food was good. Drove home. Tired. We slept in a bit. And d...

The Almost Quiet: September 2007
http://thealmostquiet.blogspot.com/2007_09_01_archive.html
Not Quite. Shushed. Sunday, September 30, 2007. Rest, readings and relaxation. Yesterday, after the JDRF walk, I found myself at home wanted to just relax and enjoy the little free time I had. Alexis and I attempted to have a video conference, but it wasn't happening. It turns out, too, that the major point of contention is the name - we don't have one. This baby needs a name! And we don't have one for it. However, it gave me some minor nightmares; I kept dreaming that donnie was disappearing. I ran some...
