ThrippieGalore!: June 2011
http://thrippiegalore.blogspot.com/2011_06_01_archive.html
Tuesday, June 21, 2011. I'm marking up the maps. Tomorrow Thrippie goes international. First stop: Paris. My colleague Leonard has given me insider info like where the best ice cream place is (Berthillon's, and Lonely Planet agrees). The weather report looks good for three days of walking (with respites, of course, in churches, museums, and cafes). As I wrote about in a post from last fall. How long did it take until he didn't have to count steps in his head? I asked. No, he said, I wanted to go to c...

ThrippieGalore!: The Brides of Others
http://thrippiegalore.blogspot.com/2011/08/brides-of-others.html
Tuesday, August 16, 2011. The Brides of Others. Two friends of mine are getting married at the end of next month and their caterer just went out of business. Yikes! I thought maybe I should pick up my wedding dress from the store because you just never know. Who could abandon such a beautiful. To confuse the evil spirits as to which woman was the bride? Though how evil spirits could confuse irredeemable satiny Pepto Bismol confections with the white dress that's clearly the star, I’m not sure.)...While I...

ThrippieGalore!: Companion Bean
http://thrippiegalore.blogspot.com/2011/02/companion-bean.html
Sunday, February 13, 2011. Last weekend I attended a conference in D.C. That city turned out to be a Venn diagram of friends from childhood, my Peace Corps days, and several academic roosts. I’ve spent this week catching up on work and sleep, finding myself drinking pints of Emergen-C and staring at the wall. Here's Bean Pillow in a moment of repose. With fellow pillows on the chaise. 8221; and “where is my life going? And “gold” were similar signs, both like jewelry fluttering from your ear. II’ve...

ThrippieGalore!: Spooky Boo
http://thrippiegalore.blogspot.com/2010/10/spooky-boo.html
Wednesday, October 6, 2010. I caught a glimpse of these scary dudes. In Spookane's Garland district. A couple of hours ago, my friend Jessie emailed me a picture of her new short short haircut that “just happened” as a response to some heavy feelings. She’s an upside down Samson, flexing her biceps and a liberating ‘do. Driving down Ash Street tonight, I saw a pink and white bra strapped across the wide parts, the hips if you will, of a crosswalk road sign. I thought of an exercise my writing student...

ThrippieGalore!: What Do You Got?
http://thrippiegalore.blogspot.com/2011/01/what-do-you-got.html
Sunday, January 9, 2011. What Do You Got? She who has not split an infinitive cast the first stone. That said, I do enjoy moments when language shows evidence of bending in a way its authors did not intend. It’s a surefire stay against boredom. The world is replete with these delightful gaffes, such as those chronicled in t he "blog" of "unnecessary" quotations. I found this henna tattoo stencil at the Purple Moon (full of crystals,. Geodes, bamboo plants, incense, scimitars and wind chimes). A Girl Name...

ThrippieGalore!: March 2011
http://thrippiegalore.blogspot.com/2011_03_01_archive.html
Wednesday, March 30, 2011. Essays and Banjos: An Interview for Rock and Sling. I recently had the chance to interview friend and writer Jessie van Eerden for. It's up on their rad blog: http:/ rockandsling.com/. Saturday, March 26, 2011. When I moved to Spokane last summer, my thrifting focused mostly on housewares: dishes, a couch, a coffee table, latch hook art and gewgaws for home and office. A snazzy Rockmount Ranch. Though I enjoy reading fashion blogs such as Fashionable Academics. To facilitate th...

ThrippieGalore!: July 2011
http://thrippiegalore.blogspot.com/2011_07_01_archive.html
Thursday, July 28, 2011. Of Birds and Men. Check out the lapel on Sears JR Bazaar shirt from. Area 58 on Monroe. The guy behind me in the big, black truck flipped the bird. I was meekly merging onto the Maple Street Bridge. I know it's fuel-efficient to speed up and join the flow. I also considered an alternate reading: this chap with the pickup was flipping off traffic in general, not me in particular. F*& you, Maple Street bridge! Up yours, enchanting summer sunshine! And then I remembered that there&#...

ThrippieGalore!: An Easy Mark? Moi?
http://thrippiegalore.blogspot.com/2011/08/easy-mark-moi.html
Tuesday, August 9, 2011. This fancy little boot is coming to the office. With me. Solid gold! OK, it's a hollow. Ornament, but really as fabulous as that long. Esteemed readers, this kickin' glitter mini-boot is many things I can't resist: 1. It’s in the shape of footwear. 2. It’s sparkly. 3. It’s tiny. 4. I wasn’t looking for it. Rather, it found me in a little shop on Hamilton a few days ago. I had just run to Donut Parade. Running partner and I were sweaty from the summer morning heat. We sat at t...
