Mississippi: First Circle of Hell?

Kelli Jae Baeli Posted on August 18, 2003 by Kelli Jae BaeliMarch 10, 2013

Mississippi just might be the first Circle of Hell. The heat and humidity here is oppressive, to say the least. I can always get a derisive laugh out of locals when i say, “When’s it going to snow?” I admit, i had some preconceived notions about moving to a coastal area. Most of those notions were probably based on movies I’ve seen like Sleepless in Seattle. Important distinction here: that’s the Pacific Northwest, this is the Southern Gulf. I’ve noticed that when people talk about living “bi-coastal,”they are obviously leaving out the THIRD coast. The U.S. is really tri-coastal. The … Continue reading →

Vaudeville Mantis, Finals & A Severed Finger

Kelli Jae Baeli Posted on August 5, 2003 by Kelli Jae BaeliMarch 8, 2013

I DREAMED there was this Praying Mantis who was the size of one of those anti-theft steering wheel “clubs.” This Mantis could sing and dance like a seasoned vaudevillian…. I came around a corner in this building and saw him and was flabbergasted. He was singing “My Way.” All I could think about was getting to my camera so I could return and capture this once-in-a-lifetime event… When i returned, camera in hand, the Vaudeville Mantis had gone; witnesses pointed around the corner, and I found him there, smaller, not singing and not dancing…a regular mantis…i was so mad. No … Continue reading →

Mississippi Bites

Kelli Jae Baeli Posted on July 7, 2003 by Kelli Jae BaeliMarch 6, 2013

Four days ago, i was bitten by something. I assume it was some sort of spider…but thankfully, not the kind that sends you to the E.R. with nausea and anaphylactic shock, and not the kind that rots a big hole in your skin like something out of a bad horror movie. But toxic enough to be painful, cause swelling and prevent the use of my right hand for four days. The bubble that formed had the consistency of a water balloon. Then the bubble began to spread out the next day until my whole hand was swollen. It felt like … Continue reading →

Quotes from Kelli Jae Baeli

What I know about the machinations of heaven, you can fit on the head of a pin. But at least I know what the pins are for. They’re for gouging out the eyes of some Guardian Angels. ~from Plethora.

Politics Quotes

"People feel removed from sexism. 'I'm not a sexist, but I'm not a feminist.' They think there's this fuzzy middle ground. There's no fuzzy middle ground. You either believe that women are people or you don't. It's that simple." (Joss Whedon)

Quotes for Writers

If you are pointing out one of the things a story is about, then you are very probably right; if you are pointing out the only thing a story is about you are very probably wrong - even if you're the author. ~ Neil Gaiman

Word of the Day

noblesse oblige no-bless-oh-BLEEJ The moral obligation of those of high birth, powerful social position, etc. To act with honor, kindliness, generosity, etc. Benevolent, honorable behavior considered to be the responsibility of persons of high birth or rank. The belief that the wealthy and privileged are obliged to help those less fortunate. From French, meaning nobility obligates

Favorite Quotes

"In my experience, the amount of offence that the offended takes is commensurate to the amount of respect they have for the offender. I rarely feel offended by opinions, but then again, I rarely respect the opinion or the source of it until I've evaluated it. If it's a bad opinion, I don't lose respect I never had for it. If it's a good opinion, I gain respect for it. At no point does whether or not it's offensive factor into the matter. There is this to say as well; It is important to be discriminating in what opinions one takes seriously, otherwise in short order one finds themselves paying so much attention to the people they should ignore that they end up ignoring the people they ought to be paying attention to." ~Brandon Jones

If you bash Biden for something he cannot control, you are electing a Republican.

If post offices are on federal land, shouldn't PO Boxes be exempt from state laws that attempt to block mailing contraceptives?

If Republicans in Texas want to replace slavery with “involuntary relocation” then I want to replace Independence Day with — Stolen Land Day. #LandBack
