I put this moment here

2 11 2011

This.

No, this is not me and not particularly what I went through or what I’m going through—except for the parts that are exactly like what I went through or what I’m going through.

And my penultimate-ish panel involved a small green stone instead of horror movies and Skittles.

But I did have my Eskimo vagrant moments. Still do. Probably always will.

There are worse things.





Don’t talk

2 11 2011

This is unacceptable: I’ve lost my voice.

Gone gone gone daddy gone.

I started getting a sore throat on Sunday, by Monday my voice was pebbly and on Tuesday, it was full-on gravelly. I did make it through my classes, but by the time I got off the train my voice had disappeared down my gullet. I tried to say “thank you” to a cute tot who closed my dryer door at the laundromat, and all that came out was a squeak.

You can’t yell at cats with a squeak and, unsurprisingly, they don’t much respond to a whisper.

My throat doesn’t really hurt; it just doesn’t work.

I don’t like it.
