Some nights the couple in the bedroom next to mine stumble home late at night and wake me with their squeaky door and their faint laughter, her voice girlish and so far away from the other person lying down in the bedroom beside her.
Initially, this had irked me - a rest disturbed - until I realize I shouldn’t be, I can’t be.
They are two lovers and they deserve their happiness at...

You always look so cool. The man in the cool, colored shirts.

Just spent an hour looking at flowers at the nursery and then I picked a batch of pretty purple nemesias.
Then as I am paying for them, I noticed a baby slug crawling on a leaf.
My greatest fear of all are slugs. And there it was, my nemesis on my nemesia.
After a silent freak out in my mind, I took my receipt, said thank you, and walked towards the entrance. The other nemesias were on a...

i never finish phrases, i misspell, open arms are prison cells. when i said, “i hate what i’ve become” i lied, i hated who was so when you start to wonder ‘bout the pain in my throat, then don’t you ever, no never, ever, speak for someone you don’t know.

I am the robot
“I can never tell how you’re feeling”, my friend of 7 years tells me. “You’re completely different from everyone else. At any given day, I can’t tell if you are happy or sad or upset. I can’t tell. You never - you never talk about yourself”.

Nothing like your drunk birthday friend questioning you on why you are single, why you won’t date him, or him, or him.

Focus
Recite your speech 67 times in my kitchen as I do the dishes from dinner - 1 pot, 2 pans, 5 plates, 3 spatulas. Watch me mix honey into wasabi into olive oil for a grapefruit topping recipe I looked up once on a Japanese cooking blog. Listen to the water boil and the milk churn on the stove. Then the pour pour mix-mix into the matcha. All at once, I do these things. Dilute the tea. But my cooking...

Gaps and Apples
So maybe you don’t have the ideal body or “that” face - you know, the legs, the hair, the perfectly appled cheeks. Maybe you never had it, maybe you had it and lost it, maybe you know, you know biologically you’re just never going to have it. But do you have substance? Integrity? Do you like to make people laugh? Do you know what to say when someone cries - or at least...

After the Boston Marathon explosions, a daunting...
By Robin Abcarian Los Angeles Times - April 15, 2013 Random violence hits us hard because we can’t tell ourselves what we might have done to avoid it. “I would never live in that neighborhood” or “I would never walk there at night” don’t work as rationalizations when you are talking about something like a footrace in downtown Boston on a sunny day.

Curiosity kills the girl
My biggest problem in life is my curiosity.
I follow every wandering rabbit, drink every mysterious bottle, and jump down every hole even when I know it will lead me to no where.
I do this with people usually, no especially, people. I follow the trails they leave me, believing all of the bits and pieces of problems they tell me will lead me to solving their mysteries and finding their...

Therapy Thursdays
A therapist and his wife, also a therapist, work next-door to one another. You called the wife for an appointment but she was booked, so she referred you to him, and now you go every Thursday. You say you think everyone could benefit from therapy, and I agreed with you.

Ways to not get a ridiculous expensive parking...
1. Check the color of the curb - physically. Like get out of the car, walk over, look down and confirm to yourself that it is red. 2. Take a picture of the sign (if any). 3. Set timer according to the sign. Multiple if possible. 4. Pray.

Got a $93 well-deserved red zoned parking ticket :(
Going to ground myself and not eat out for, hopefully, the next two weeks and taking myself to the eye doctor.
Every time my luck seems to drop, I’m going to go into hibernation.

Having a Coke with You is even more fun than going to San Sebastian, Irún, Hendaye, Biarritz, Bayonne or being sick to my stomach on the Travesera de Gracia in Barcelona
partly because in your orange shirt you look like a better happier St. Sebastian partly because of my love for you, partly because of your love for yoghurt partly because of the fluorescent orange tulips around the birches partly...

My friend and his girlfriend break up. A few days later, he tells me he knows what kind of girl is for him now. Funny, how a terrible horrible no good very bad thing called a break-up makes you learn and understand more about what you want. Funny, how it takes a terrible-for-you person to make you realize what a right-for-you person looks like (in time, at least).
Funny. Mistakes become tools.
