Ramble On: Spring 2026 Edition

  The Emperor is naked.   Had to explain to someone that we used to have to pay to use minutes on cellphones… “back in my day”.  It’s weird that Molly Ringwald’s character in the Breakfast Club brings sushi for lunch for a lot of reasons…not only is this supposed to represent “rich kid” status, but…she has unrefrigerated raw fish with her until whenever their lunchtime is…which is probably supposed to be hours after they arrive? The original pasta salad idea would have made more sense.  The ability to still feel safe as the country around you goes to war is nothing short of a blessing.  Instagram will show me things like “how to find a banana bread baddie” and then immediately go to “I do not fuck with any burrito without heft” and I think I’ve won?

Beige is Boring Acrostic (Archive)

Beige is boring, bland, and barren,

Evoking comfort for those who won't be darin'.

It's found all over, in presets and filters,

Garnered by those who can't take pictures.

Everyone knows it's where life goes to die --

 

Is it really that wrong to want a little color to hit my eye?

So take care to remember what next I say,

 

Beige is lackluster, dated, and cliche.

Originality has fled with your nude monochromatic,

Releasing instead emotions quite problematic.

I ask you again, what's so amiss with one being vivid?

No sense in neglecting the colors we've been gifted,

Glowing bright pallets are much less restrictive.

So many times I've found myself wanting to rest my head upon his chest.  To curl into him and die.  Seeking comfort in someone who isn't there.  Phantom feelings and false prophets.  I am the missing strength.  Never promised. Always found.  But oh how often I crumble now.
