I’ve been living in my Chevy Astro for eighteen months now. I think it is the longest I have lived in one dwelling ever, except for the time I accidentally bought a house and was stuck for four years. The beauty of it is, that in eighteen months in one dwelling I’ve driven seventy something […]

I woke up the other day with the total intention of driving north. That’s what made sense, to go where the money is, if not good, at least consistent. But Helga didn’t want to go north. She wanted to go west. I stood in the sand and spun in circles until I got dizzy and […]

Darcy finished her nutrition thesis, which is about the nutritional needs of pregnancy. Part of it is a meal plan, which provides all the nutrition you could possibly need to live and not get sick, plus a few extra calories for pregnancy. If you’re at all interested in food, you should go to Darcy’s blog and […]

I’m definitely fired. Either because I’m a dirty hippie who lives in a van (even tho I so denied), or because the owner doesn’t like my aura, or because the owners girlfriend thinks I’m fat (tho there are much bigger women there, so I don’t really buy that). I think I probably bitched too much […]

(So, about my last post. I can’t do it here for that long, and I can’t miss a summer in Alaska. I’m just gonna make as much money as I can for as long as I can stand it and then go North. I can always work more over the winter if I need to.) […]

(First, read Ishmael and My Ishmael.) This book is the best of the trilogy, but I think it’s better to read the other two first (even though this one is supposed to be in the middle). Jared is a Laurentian priest. He has a small life where everything makes sense, you know? He’s average in […]

I realised on my way here that I wasn’t going to make it in time to get a stripper license, so I slowed down. Cooked liver and onions, played with Bro. Why rush? I got into town just after dark, and established myself in a good parking spot at the local truckstop. Since I’m probably […]

First, keep sending healing to Davka’s mom, please. And to Davka, who is breaking open and growing and being superhumanly grown up right now. Second… while I was in that little hippie city, I did a photo shoot with a really incredible photographer. Now I have some really beautiful artistic pictures of me in the […]
