brain or shine: April 2011
http://brainorshine.blogspot.com/2011_04_01_archive.html
Sunday, 17 April 2011. I'm having trouble carrying a thought out for more than a few sentences. It was strange going back to work after Becky. Returned home to Chicago. However, I've since been resolved to get out of the house more. There's so many cool things to do nearby - I need to experience more of them. Probably one that I don't need to experience more of is Casa Bonita. Which is supposedly a restaurant but more likely, as one disenchanted employee put it, the lovechild of DisneyLand and Tijuana.

brain or shine: July 2010
http://brainorshine.blogspot.com/2010_07_01_archive.html
Monday, 12 July 2010. Happy birthday, Emmalyn! Sunday, 4 July 2010. July, July, July-y-y-y. I'm spending my fourth playing with this puppy. He doesn't have a name, yet, but I've been calling him Buster, Peanut Butter, Louis (as in Armstrong), Pickle, Bowzer, Girl Scout, Robin (as in Hood), Butternut (as in squash), and Dumpling (which my boyfriend says isn't manly enough). Tonight we'll light off small fireworks. Good times. Tags: (less than three). Weather of the mind. Crustacean island (travel blog).

brain or shine: June 2010
http://brainorshine.blogspot.com/2010_06_01_archive.html
Monday, 28 June 2010. I'm sitting at a desk, filling in for the receptionist (who's gone home with a sore throat and no voice) at the temp agency I've been using to find work. Unusual. I also found out today that I'm the top candidate for one of the jobs I interviewed for - so that's exciting! Things about Denver I'm getting used to. Yes, preposition at the end):. The weather (and learning to predict it). Distances (everything here is farther apart than they are in the Midwest). Really hot summer days.

Monday, 26 December 2011. Feeling artsy and supportive? Then support my brother's label's new Kickstarter campaign:. Weather of the mind. It takes a little rain to refract that shine into color.

Spirographs and flying fish. The Coe Writing Center blog. The Nick Bailey Experience. The World of Day Vivid.

Tuesday, 28 June 2011. Why I haven't written in a fucking long time. I spend all day logged into gmail for work. Blogger is owned by Google. When I try to log in to this blog account, I am thwarted. Things that have happened in my life since last I wrote:. Nick and I went on vacation to my aunt's lakeside cabin, where we ate a lot of food and built bonfires every night. PRizz and Dexy got married (still totally surreal to me). The writing group is still going strong. Reread some Sherlock Holmes.

brain or shine: The end
http://brainorshine.blogspot.com/2012/01/end.html
Wednesday, 25 January 2012. Brain or Shine had a good long run. I'm moving on to greener pastures - Brain or Shine feels like a good documentation of my college years, and now it's time to open a new chapter. Find me at my new blog. Weather of the mind. It takes a little rain to refract that shine into color. More records of life (fellow bloggers). Crustacean island (travel blog). I've just come across something interesting. Mama Sarah's Kitchen (cooking blog). Pretending to Know You (flash fiction blog).

Love and Rocketships: October 2013
http://loveandrocketships.blogspot.com/2013_10_01_archive.html
Sunday, October 20, 2013. No, but where are you from? I've been sitting on this post for a while now. I've hesitated in posting it, partly because I'm still working out my thoughts about it, and partly because it feels like pointless complaining. It probably is, but . awareness is the first step leading to prevention, right? He then proceeded to speak about four or five more sentences of what I assume was proper Japanese. I planned on just ignoring him, but my damned politeness kicked in after a few ...

brain or shine: February 2011
http://brainorshine.blogspot.com/2011_02_01_archive.html
Tuesday, 15 February 2011. It LOOKS like I'm being a focused, hardworking grownup -. But secretly I get to be wayward and inquisitive. All the time. And I'm getting paid to do it! This post is cannibalized from my other blog. Because I'm feeling lazy. Sorry.). Here's how I lucked out, and what I've been up to since last I wrote:. Found seasonal retail work (which was surprisingly far less painful than anticipated, as my coworkers were kind and hilarious and the company was refreshingly people-centric).

brain or shine: September 2011
http://brainorshine.blogspot.com/2011_09_01_archive.html
Thursday, 29 September 2011. Don't read this if you don't like reading complaints, though there is a good bit about a dream I had this morning at the end. There were sharks. I guess I'm not a very good blogger. Most of the people I encounter in the blogosphere annoy me - there's too much crossover with the ethereal people over on Pinterest (which, if you didn't know, is a site for those who like to make scrapbooks full of things other people have done or made or written). I can't really blame bloggers wh...
