Feet, Meet Pedals | The Year of Living Dangerously

The Year of Living Dangerously. It’s Come To This. Books, Bikes and My Brain →. Feet, Meet Pedals. June 12, 2009. What’s the fastest way to combine all of my biggest fears at once: seriously losing my balance in public; flying ass-over-teakettle over the top of a hastily opened car door; running over a small child; making ill-fated impulse transportation purchases; going through a well-intended, going through half-hearted but mostly inexpensive phase? I first read about Hildegard von Bingen. Instead, on ...

The Year of Living Dangerously. Feet, Meet Pedals. Good Cop, Awesome Cop →. Books, Bikes and My Brain. July 5, 2009. In case anyone was concerned by my complete lack of posts recently, no I haven’t had any bike-related injuries rendering me unable to type. Which is kind of a miracle in itself, really. I was completely expecting to have at least a couple Mary Bites the Dust stories by now, but so far, smooth sailing. I can scarcely believe it myself. On it too much and everyone knows that dwelling automat...

The Year of Living Dangerously. Good Cop, Awesome Cop. October 12, 2010. I’ve always wondered if serial essayists/memoirists like my favorites David Sedaris and Sloane Crosley ever had an experience that they knew immediately would wind up in a book; something hilariously awful happens but they comfort themselves with the … Continue reading →.

My Year of Living Dangerously: Say No To Bugs
http://mydangerousyear.blogspot.com/2009/05/say-no-to-bugs.html
My Year of Living Dangerously. Because it can only get better.right? Wednesday, May 27, 2009. Say No To Bugs. A few minutes ago I heard the very, very worst sound in the world: the sound of pigeons cooing. It seems that two of them found a fun little hangout on my bedroom window ledge, just to the left of where their other feathered friends set up their quaint little home last year. That is, as soon as I stop itching. Things that are disgusting. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile.

My Year of Living Dangerously: A Word on Cheerleaders
http://mydangerousyear.blogspot.com/2009/12/word-on-cheerleaders.html
My Year of Living Dangerously. Because it can only get better.right? Thursday, December 17, 2009. A Word on Cheerleaders. One of the things that has surprised me the most is the abundance of people who — somewhat silently — are standing in my corner cheering me along, from utter strangers in the checkout aisle at Trader Joe’s,. It was evident very early on in the call that it was not an easy one for her to make. She assured me that she and the executive director felt terrible about not being able to ...

My Year of Living Dangerously: George Clooney Can Fire Me Whenever He Wants
http://mydangerousyear.blogspot.com/2009/12/george-clooney-can-fire-me-whenever-he.html
My Year of Living Dangerously. Because it can only get better.right? Wednesday, December 9, 2009. George Clooney Can Fire Me Whenever He Wants. I reached a point this summer where I let my self-consciousness get to me and stopped blogging out of fear that I was branding myself as “that unemployed girl.” A similar phenomenon. Occurred when I blogged my stimulator process a few years ago. After all, I reasoned, both then and now, self-pity doesn’t exactly make for good reading — or writing. The saving grac...

My Year of Living Dangerously: My Recession Miracle
http://mydangerousyear.blogspot.com/2009/07/my-recession-miracle.html
My Year of Living Dangerously. Because it can only get better.right? Tuesday, July 7, 2009. I’m probably not the best personal banker in the world — I don’t log on to check my checking account on a daily or even weekly basis. And since my expenses are fairly static and most of my deposits are direct deposits, I generally know how much I have. Since I still only use a bank in. And make car payments through my parents, they can usually see my balance too. In my head I mentally started writing another essay.

My Year of Living Dangerously: Rumble at the Altar
http://mydangerousyear.blogspot.com/2009/05/rumble-at-altar.html
My Year of Living Dangerously. Because it can only get better.right? Tuesday, May 26, 2009. Rumble at the Altar. One of the reasons I signed on to be an on-call nanny while I job hunt is that I have found that being around some kids — usually in direct proportion to their cuteness quotient and degree of crankiness — can give your mood an unexpected and always welcome boost. There were days when I was sick a lot and living at home. When I got better and moved to. I present some photographs as evidence.
