Unpacked the last of my grandmother’s historic glass collection. Really, what was my great grandmother doing with 16 glass sherbet cups? Who needs to serve that much sherbet at one time?

Strange to think that the word “hello” really only came into common usage with the telephone! What else is a Victorian protagonist to call out in order to announce her presence in a seemingly empty house?

i don’t wanna be a monster in the making i don’t wanna be more bitter than sweet but if you knew what i knew you would be angry too

#BSG night. Everyone is concerned that the president just declared an alliance with dalek empire.

I was introduced to Jonathan Livingston Seagull very young, and I still get feelings of confused existentialism whenever I see seagulls.

Simultaneously writing one novel in 19th c Brit English and one in modern American English. My spellcheck perpetually wants to strangle me.

the guy next to me at the coffee shop looks like Colin Firth as Zorro retired into a crotchety coffeeshop beatnik #peoplewatching

Time spent so far today: Actual productivity 3% Tea and humorous observations 82% Cats 15% #procrastination

there is a scruffy white man in the coffee shop. he is writing in his moleskin notebook. he is using a very nice pen. #peoplewatching

every so often he pauses to bite his nails. he glances toward me. assessingly. he glances out the window. seeking inspiration.

he writes about the pain and agony of life: women do not throw themselves at him. money is not showered upon him. #coffeeshoppeople

never before has man known such pain as his. he grips his coffee mug. black coffee, because he is a man. he grips it in a manly way.

he stares at the screen. considers the day when he will receive recognition for his manpain.
