Because why? Because every now and again when I go to clear the answering machine of messages – I discover things. Things that should have been written down kind of things. When we get to around 8 saved messages, I try to clean them out. Yesterday I discovered that, unbeknownst to me, my friend Lisa…
I need to wax poetic for a moment. Sleep, oh thou elixir of life, how your enveloping embrace maketh me to want to give you sexual favours. Calcium Channel blockers, oh thou relaxer of blood vessels (even the small ones), how your pervasive travel through my system maketh me want to praise your merits in…

Underwater photography by the amazing Rafal Makiela I’m making the effort. My head’s above the surface… but there are days…. Days when, honestly, it would be easier to go under and stay under. Suck in water and sit at the bottom of the pool. Instead, I drown proof. I’ve been fighting my body for as…

I know. I know. We’ve been told… and told again. You cannot ‘spot lose’ weight. Like, say, if your body is in great shape, except for your inner thighs, or back fat, or armpit pudge. There are NO exercises that you can do to get rid of the extra flesh in one specific area. You…
Heather the Valkyrie Deviant Art (helmet acquired from the artist Lodin) It’s been more than two weeks now, suffering from the Nachtschweiß. I feel the German phrasing is warranted because night-sweat effects are near-Wagnerian. I am THIS close to grabbing a winged helmet and shrieking from a mountain top. Sunday morning, I was doing the…
