all the pretty pizzas
Today is a glorious morning! This morning my beloved wrapped his arms around me and wished me ‘happy anniversary’ with a big kiss. Today we have known each other twelve years. Roughly one-third of my life has been spent in the company of this man and he has nurtured, encouraged, supported, and loved me through [...]

Something here touched a nerve with me
From a bizarre interview with the rapper DMX:
All right, well is there anything else that I missed? Anything that you’re working on?
Working on life.
Working on life.
Yeah, working on life.
Are you happy right now?
I don’t wanna be happy.
Why not?
’Cause when you happy you get locked in sleep. You get sleepy happy. I always wanna be on [...]

Big Enough for the Four of Us
Making a small house work for four people takes some time and effort. One must be conscientious about what comes in the door and not be afraid of letting things go once they have served their usefulness. Why all the effort? Why not move to a bigger, better house? Well, many [...]

Dazzled by my daughter
It has been a long time since I checked in with the Mutant. I missed this space even tho you can hardly tell by the dearth of entries. Life has been busy. A few days after the calendar new year we welcomed our daughter, Quinn, into the world and we haven’t stopped [...]

exhausted and exhilarated
I am at the point of exhaustion yet I feel exhilarated. We have officially entered the home stretch of this bout of childbearing and things are progressing smoothly. I feel very fortunate that (thus far) both of our pregnancies have been problem free. I do have the normal complaints that any woman in her third [...]

San Diego’s water is safe and healthy to drink for most people*
Living in a semi-arid land like San Diego has made me conscious of potable water as a precious and scarce natural resource. Growing up in NorCal, I remember drinking water from the faucet or even the hose without a second thought. Since we moved to San Diego 17 years ago and finding the [...]

Like a vegetarian with a leather couch
It’s easy to revile smokers. Their pastime results in dirty air and unhealthy symptoms as well as environmental degradation. Like the overweight or the poor, they are easy targets for feelings of superiority in the observer. Here in San Diego we visit a lot of parks in our ongoing efforts to make sure [...]

An official salute
Over 4,000 images have been submitted showcasing the collective assessment of these losers.

Self Censorship in Modern Merka
I was reading a (quite humorous) email from my uncle that went something like this:
Whatever you two are smoking, please send me two tons as a sales starter package. I think that there is a lot more profit potential in whatever you are smoking than in converting ‘58 Chevies into tri5s. I think [...]

I’m just sitting on the dock of the bay, wasting time
As I considered and then went through with getting rid of my teevee, a key rationale behind my decision was the sense of wasted time I had. It was clear to me, after each of my many teevee-watching sessions, that I had just wasted part of my life (often on/with some inane, worthless subject).
So now [...]
