We found a gym we can get to on the bus, and in a moment of daring, got memberships. The guy helping us was from Miami. He was fit and slim and gorgeous like he’s always been 190lbs. Says he was 240, 2 years ago. (This commentary paused while Ted and I have an argument about how much the dude weighed. THE POINT IS HE LOST FIFTY POUNDS AND DOESN’T LOOK LIKE HE WAS EVER OVERWEIGHT.) Anyway, the paperwork we filled out had a number of questions that Ted and…

easter holidays
Indy’s on Easter holidays, which is 2 weeks off, and I’ve basically been convinced it’s the weekend since the 8th of April. Strangely enough, it has not been the weekend since the 8th of April, which has led to some deep confusion on my part.

Indy was thrilled beyond comprehension to…
a night with the girls
I did not mean for that last post about the big break to be the last post for two weeks, but I temporarily forgot my password and couldn’t log in.

It’s not like LJ’s had a lot of activity the past, uh, well, several, years, but many of us who have been holding out…no longer are. I’ll be here on mizkit.com, of course, but I’ll be crossposting this journal to mizkit.dreamwidth.org from here on out,…
Let me tell you about growing up in Alaska.
I grew up in a small town in Alaska. It was on the road system, which meant we could and did drive to Anchorage once a year, maybe twice, but my town didn’t have, say, a McDonald’s, when I was a kid. I remember when the Dairy Queen opened, and the Arby’s, which was less of a big deal because it opened after DQ, but the first time I went to McDonald’s I was around 11 and I froze. I had no idea what to order. I hardly had any…
