I just had another hypnogogic hallucination. This time with birds. I was taking a nap, and having weird dreams about Athena growing up to be a mountain lion. That she was a mountain lion did not surprise me at all, but I was horrified because now I had to find a home for an adult […]

Everybody from here to the planet Krypton has already talked about the War on Christmas, or perhaps more accurately, the “I’m claiming to be persecuted because it makes me feel special, so I’m throwing a hissy fit,” on Christmas. But that sort of thing never stops me. I am not, as some of you may […]
My allergies have been killing me for the last two days. I’m not sure why–something to do with the furnace running, I imagine, kicking up dust and sending me into a frenzy of snorfling. Allegra doesn’t stop it. At last, in despair, I picked up a couple of face masks and have been wearing them […]
Things to Do This Evening: Eat mini mint milanos and play Katamari Damacy until my eyes bleed. Never let it be said I don’t know how to relax…
Once, long ago, I had a screw up on my W-2s, and I had to get it sorted out. A friend had just come over at the time. “I’ll be just a minute,” I said from the kitchen. “I just gotta call the IRS and get my taxes straightened out.” There was a pause from […]
I make no promises as to the quality of this. Really. It took two days, so there are limits to how great it’s gonna be. The story is less of a story-with-a-plot and more of a random vignette. It is unpolished. It may be emotionally unsatisfying. The writing may be overly twee or overly gross […]
Went and saw King Kong. I confess, I expected it to suck. When I heard Peter Jackson was going from LOTR to freakin’ King Kong, I was horrified. What the heck? Giant gorillas? Come ON. I cried when he died. *sniffle* Also, major props for best brontosaurus stampede ending badly scene yet.
One day, and already the little creature has spread! Check this out, it’s adorable and gory. http://www.livejournal.com/users/shatterstripes/509255.html
Having Dreamhost problems. Apparently we’re using too much CPU time. We haven’t done anything to cause this, our traffic is no more than usual and less than sometimes, we’re not using anywhere near our total bandwidth, and yet suddenly we’re taking up more than our allotted share of CPU. (This was evidentally in the fine […]
I’m sorry. Really, I am. You’re so patient with my doodlemania, and I’ve really exceeded the limit of Cute Sketches Every Five Minutes this weekend. Still, have some more, as the nameless cute-evil-thingy engages in nameless cute-evil activities. With captions! Don’t worry, it can’t last. I have to mine out my inner angst to do […]
