So yesterday was interesting! My buddy Mur Lafferty (famous podcaster, author, creative type–merely knowing her provides a level of geek cred that I could never achieve on my own and certainly don’t deserve) needed a ride yesterday, first to the tattoo parlor for a consult (alas, foiled by tattoo artist’s schedule) and then to the […]

Hey, guys! Super, uber, totally limited quantities of Red Wombat Tea are available at the lowered test price, as Ellen tried out yet another batch of printings! (Shoggoth Jasmine and Dead Dragon are in short supply, so if you’re interested in either of those–and I say without an ounce of capitalism in my heart that […]
Today, something slightly different, as I’m blogging odors that I have handed off to favored guinea pig alchemist for testing. (Not sure how long most of these last in practice–if I were a good scientist, I’d pick a day we spend mostly together and sniff him at carefully measured intervals, but…err…I haven’t.) Wrath — Spicy, […]
I knew Indiana Jones 4 might be a problem when they mentioned the Nazca lines and I started twitching violently in my seat. Kevin put his arm around my shoulder and said “There, there. It’s okay. It’s just a movie.” I retain just enough of my South American archaeology chops to get twitchy. It wasn’t […]
Either I’m hot, or men are desperate. (I can hear y’all now…”A little from column A, a little from column B….”) Went out to get the mail, and nearly caused a car accident, as a young man practically gave himself whiplash slowing down and staring at me, which might have been unsettling, except that he […]
Actually, the title of the post probably says it all, but I’ll expound a bit, ‘cos I can. I have not been posting about my politics because frankly, they don’t really matter. I’m an Obama supporter, but if Clinton had taken the nomination, I would have voted for her, because I’m a Democrat first and […]
I love painting the weird animal saints. I don’t know why. St. Mellivora and the Miraculous Sausage (Yes, yes, I know, always with the phallic symbols. I’m comfortable with that.)
So last night, Kevin and I are settling in for a pleasant evening, by which I mean we both had books, we had cartoons, we were planning to spend an hour or so reading and snuggling, maybe commit a few of the more easily accessible sins of the flesh, and then hit the sack. Then […]
Cedar waxwings are a pretty common bird, all things considered, and it shouldn’t have taken me–what–three years? of birding to FINALLY spot one, but I somehow never managed to be in the right place at the right time. Until today, when I went to get the mail, and there it was, just as described, a […]
Art show prep marches on… My Catholicism does not get much more lapsed than having a shrine to Ganesh in the kitchen, but I come back to the iconography a LOT. St. Wombus and the Zucchini
