It’s been awhile since I wrote for the sake of writing. I mean, I feel as if every post has to accentuate some eccentricity or flavor of wit or burning outrage, but I’ve been shying away from just writing off the top of my head. I have felt the need to give [Read More]
Toastie Plays The Blog Tag Game II
The wonderful Ashley Sue tagged me a couple of weeks ago, and I have yet to play, until now. I was tagged back in March for a similar task, upon which I listed 10 fun facts about myself. The rules go something like this: Link your original tagger(s), and list these rules on [Read More]
Block
I don’t just have writer’s block when it comes to this blog. I am having trouble composing emails, both at work and of a personal nature. I do not know if I actually suffering from some sort of cognitive difficulty as a result of kidney disease or if my mind is [Read More]
End-of-Summer Meta-Blogging
There are a bunch of questions I ask myself when considering the suitability of a blog post. Am I… Coming across as way too angry? Revealing too much personal information? Seeming to be one who just complains all the time? Being way too…weird? There are [Read More]

Thanks to some great advice from one who shares her name with the “celebrity” in the video below, IE devotees can now see this site close to how I intended it to be seen, particularly all this crap from YouTube I keep copying. Nothing says “celebration [Read More]
David vs. Toastie
I may have cringed when you sent me a Facebook friend invite. It’s nothing personal. I do want to be your Facebook friend. I’ll cringe, because I have to walk this terribly awkward tightrope between what used to be two distinct worlds. There’s [Read More]
Toastchee #15: Forty days
I had a narrative for this post. But it’s too raw, even for this blog or whatever it is, where I seem oblivious at times to how much self-revelation is appropriate. Anyway, I figured the Toastchees were just going to be a phase when I came up with the silly idea 35 [Read More]
