  • Important words from a smart lady.

    The parking garage next to my doctor’s office in Beverly Hills is the only almost-free parking garage in perhaps the entire Southland area. I think you get the first hour free, an unheard of amount of time. Like, you could go have lunch, or even a doctor’s appointment. It’s incredible. There are sixteen signs you…

  • Unemployment is Noisy

    Hear why I’m so tired and puffy. (And why I keep going on breakfasts and lunches and hikes and sometimes hide out in the library for hours.)

    Photographic Evidence of the Last Time I Will Ever Be In This M’fn Convenience Store

    I hope you like this picture I took last night, even though it’s not a good picture. I’m looking for some kind of bright side to what happened after I’d taken it. I’d been waiting in line for a long time. Long enough to look up, see these lights and think, “Why?” After I paid…

  • wanted.

    I was running this afternoon when a lamp post caught my eye. There was a message taped, a love letter. It said it was the eleventh of fifteen, a public message for a special person. There, typed, was a poem, about how the writer’s love was real. His or her need was real. That both…

  • grateful and grumpy (aka: old-lady pamie)

    For those of you who are crazy cat ladies/actual veterinarians/long-time fans: Thank you for writing in about Cal and his new meds. That’s very kind of you, and your advice is much appreciated. Yay for Pill Pockets. Now if only Greenies made a “Liquid-y Vomit Catcher ™” for thirty minutes after Cal’s had his medicine.…
