About

Hi. I work in a city, live in an ultra-liberal "nuclear free" zone with two cats, read books, and watch TV; all the while I am refining my ability to chill and be what I call a "happy malcontent", which is the "jumbo shrimp" oxymoron of a lax lifestyle. My background is in anthropology, but really I just like to observe, and enjoy randomness.

I don't know why I have a blog. LAY OFF ME, THERE'S NO THEME!

This is what someone has to say about malcontents:

The most important thing about the malcontent, is that she is malcontent—unhappy, unsettled, displeased with the world as she sees it—not at ease with the world of the play in which she finds herself, eager to change it somehow, or to dispute with it. She is an objective or quasi-objective voice that comments on the concerns of the play and comments as though she is somehow above or beyond them.

Rich White Yuppie Fight

God, I love a RWYF (see title), particularly on the bus. It literally warms the cockles of my heart.  This is the best kind of hen fight – the unnecessary squabbling between passengers on a bus.

I was sitting at the front of the bus this morning when RWY #1 sits down.  There are seats perpendicular to me, and that is where RWY #2 sits down, positioning her absurdly long umbrella so that it hits me in the groin.  Now, some people might consider this a good thing. I am not one of those people.

RWY #1: (Loudly and somewhat pointedly):  Uh, excuse me? Don’t you see your umbrella is hitting her?

RWY #2: Yes, can’t you see me trying to sit down? I have to hold this umbrella down or else it will open and then it will hit her in the face. This is better than in the face!

RWY #1: You’re still hitting her, and she can’t sit there with that umbrella just hitting her.

(At this point, I think the umbrella and I are dating)

RWY #2:  Ok, I’m moving it! Do you have anything else you want to yell at me about this morning? Anything else you want to discuss?

RWY #1: I don’t believe I was yelling. And yes, I’m all ears.
