I just wrote a thing

I just wrote a thing that left my arms numb and triggered heart palpitations. I dragged it out of the unspeakable depths. It was all kinds of cathartic. It felt profound.

I don't need to read it or revise it. The numb arms and fast heart are all the proof I need; what I wrote today is crap. Or tripe. Maybe more like a crap-tripe casserole.

It's my humanity on virtual paper, it's my very f***ing soul translated into language. Served up for the masses this essential essence-y essence of my very humanity undergoes a stunning transubstantiation  and becomes what? You guessed it, a boiled bovine stomach and fecal matter melange. It squeaks when chewed. I don't recommend it.

It's just that bad.

So today's blog post is a bit of a let down for me.

Oh well.

On the other hand I did write for several hours and it was all right.

I have to remember that some days the output is pleasing and sometimes it sucks.

That's normal.

In the meantime, let's take solace where we find it.
It's time to dance around like a goober.

Just don't call me Late to Dinner

A friend recently asked if I was ever called Maggie or if I'd always been a Margaret. That got me thinking about my name. I hate my name.  Hate it. I have never liked my name. It seems fine to call other people Margaret. It sounds agreeable enough when I say hello to another Margaret. "Hello, Margaret!" I might say. And the name doesn't offend me. It doesn't make me recoil or wretch. It's just a name. And a fine name at that. But it's not for me. I don't feel like a Margaret. It doesn't fit me well.  Hangs off me all funny and weird. Can't ever seem to wear it comfortably. I don't like to be called by name. Frankly, it makes me feel sort of sick.  When I was a chubby 3rd grader I decided I wanted to go by a nickname.   Peggy. I wrote it in my clumsy curly cursive on the front inside cover of my books.   I said it out loud to myself in the mirror. Peggy. Peggy! I liked it. First of all Peg...

In Which I Clean a Thing, Ruin a Thing, But Every Thing is Okay Anyway

I used the self cleaning feature on the oven the other day. Self cleaning is sort of a funny term for what amounts to cremating the earthly remains of the lasagne and the pies that cooked over and ran all over the bottom of the oven at temps rivaling the fiery pits of Hell.   You lock the oven door, you set it to "clean" and it gets very fucking hot. A couple of hours later your kitchen is a tropical vacation destination, the house is full of toxic smoke, making it a polluted tropical vacation destination, and you have a very messy looking ashy mess in your oven. While way better than spray on oven cleaners, the self cleaning method has problems. For instance, the smoke and ash. I also worry about my oven bursting into flame. I worry that a flaming self cleaning oven would turn my entire house into a flaming self cleaning house. Which would be bad. Anyway. Thanksgiving is a high impact cooking holiday and it heralds the start of the holiday baking season as well, so I...
