  • change of address.

    so this is my official soft launch of elevenbee.com. which, i understand will be a bit of a pain in the butt for the handful of you out there who subscribe to this blog via xanga. happily, it's pretty easy to subscribe…

  • used to it.

    *warning: unchecked metaphor approaching* today i cleaned out the fish tank (oh, the infamous fish tank -- the symbol of all that is stressful in domestic partnerships). the algae eaters (oh, the glorious algae eaters…

  • choosing not to dwell.
