Today we were iced in, but I was really productive anyway! I did 3 miles on the exercise bike and matted prints for the upcoming MarsCon. We cleaned out the pantry and got rid of all the old beans and boxes of Bisquick that expired in ’05, giving us a shelf that could be used […]

Let’s all give a big embarassing sing-at-the-restaurant* cheer for my beloved Kevin, who is forty today and thus has finally entered his prime! I would take him to birthday sushi, but the roads look like a glazed donut at the moment, so p’raps a rain check…. *I would never REALLY do this to any one […]
First of all, KUEC #18 — the breakfast show — is live! We drink before noon (because we love you!) and eat some odd foods, and I pet a bagel. Also available on iTunes Second, and I know you’ve been waiting awhile on this one–Black Dogs 2: The Mountain of Iron is coming out January […]
Somebody got into my red paint at some point yesterday. I had Pyrrole Red fluid acrylic on my palette* and there is a smear on the plate, a pawprint on the table, then on the seat of my chair, then a trail of vibrant red tracks leads across the stoffice, becomes closer together at a […]

I don’t know, I’m […]
Some people who follow me on Twitter (@ursulav, unsurprisingly) saw this one last night, but it was such a bizarre incident that I had to expand. So Kevin and I are getting ready to go to Game Night at our buddy Mur’s–this is one of our few weekly Time With Grown-Ups experiences, and we cherish […]
First painting of the new year! (I initially dated it as -10, and had to squiggle it to -11…) Inspired by the way one of the cats was sitting–the line of her back was just so marvelous I had to get it down on paper. Original is for sale, as always, send a note for […]
There’s porn in Good Housekeeping, right? In which we cover champagne, a rant or two, haggis-flavored potato chips, and my not-particularly-secret crush on Cat Cora. Also, there is frozen food. Also available on iTunes!
