“Congratulations!” said James. I was laying on the couch reading and idily poking the sore bits of my mouth (had a number of fillings done today, and the dentist believes in a Lot Of Novocaine, so I was numb for hours, and now bits of my jaw ache, a sensation I oughta be used to […]

And now, to tie together today’s two themes on Christianity AND chickens–with serendipity that I did, not in fact, plan at all, but am now pretty damn amused by–I give you “Madonna and Egg”! http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/13202126/ On the list of “Stuff I’d Love To Do And Don’t Have Time For” more religious icons of chickens should […]
So I was going out to coffee with my friend Kathy, and we were talking about pheonixes, and chickens and the resemblances thereof. And I said “Dude! There was this chicken–I saw this calendar–I didn’t buy it, because I mean, somebody usually winds up getting me a calendar for Christmas, and they’re cheaper after the […]
I was thinking about this t’other day, and something Chris Sawyer said sort of precipitated the thoughts out. So hold onto your hat for religious…stuff, or bow out now, according to your personal preference.
I’ve seen five minutes of “Earthsea” so far, in which Tenar, clinging to the arm of some kind of mother priestess that I hope to god is not supposed to be Kossil, exposits at great length about being an orphan, whereupon maybe-Kossil exposits about her great faith leading the order. I think I’m going to […]
http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/13175270/ Another chunk of Con art! Gawd, some day I’ll get these all up. This one features everybody’s favorite land whale. Well, my favorite land whale. (I imagine in this crowd, there’s probably a bunch of people who can quote jaw-bone and metatarsal lengths at me like baseball statistics, and who have their own favorite […]
Running off even MORE prints. Damn, it’s been a busy Christmas. Not that I’m complaining! (Psst! Rapidly approaching the point where stuff won’t arrive by the 25th. Get those orders in now! /marketing) I have accomplished the vast majority of my Christmas shopping. Some people are getting art. These people, being friends, will hopefully forgive […]
It’s James’s birthday today! He’s 31. I’ve been around him for over a decade, which mostly means that I find myself saying things occasionally like “Weaseldome!” and then thinking “Christ, I’ve been around James too long…” But that’s more just reflexive habit, since I love James dearly and am terribly glad to have him around. […]
I’m working on a Gearworld painting, the first of a set intended to be a coherent show, which god willing, I can shop around to a gallery somewhere. I probably won’t put most of them on-line until I’ve either worked out the gallery angle or abandoned the notion in despair, as painful as this is–I […]
I’m starting to think that the lunatic Christians (DISCLAIMER: Yes, there are perfectly nice, sane, good people, some of whom read my LJ, who do their very best to follow the teachings of certain carpenters, they’re not all like that, etc, etc, I’m aware of that, so let’s just get past that bit and accept […]
