This is annoying: when you get soap bubbles in your ear but even the Q-tip doesn’t end the popping. 

Also, why is it called a Q-tip? Quilted tip? Why not C-tip for cotton? Maybe that would imply a different kind of tip.

I miss summer.

“In the midst of winter, I found there was, within me, an invincible summer. And that makes me happy. For it says that no matter how hard the world pushes against me, within me, there’s something stronger – something better, pushing right back.” ~ Albert Camus

There’s always an iced coffee on this emergency call box in Boston’s Back Bay Station. Without fail, no matter the time of year, one is here. Always.

My previous and perceived pathology was such that I assumed everyone forgot about me the moment I left the room. A lot of atrocious behavior (and questionable outfits) could have been prevented had I realized that I’m one of those people whose absence from certain rooms is felt more keenly than my presence. And that’s a whole other pathology for a whole other post.
