OH MY GOD. They like the offer. We’re going in tonight to make a change to the contract they asked for, and then…um… Well, hell, I don’t know! We are likely to get the house! Aiiiiieeee! *spasm* …This also highlights something James pointed out last night. We have no furniture. Oh, we’ve got a fine […]

A beautiful pair of eastern towhees out browsing under the neighbor’s feeder this morning. Also a white-throated sparrow, and the usual suspects of goldfinches and juncoes. Waiting to hear back on our offer on a house. We should know something, at least, around 10, and while I was mellow enough last night, I’m starting to […]
It was a glorious day out today. 84 degrees, in mid-March. Sheesh. Since Gimpfoot here is still unable to go bike riding, we took the good weather to go out and look at some houses. We’re putting an offer in one tonight, but since there’s already another offer pending, I suspect our odds to be […]
We’re having a drought here. Things like the inches of rainfall we haven’t got are mentioned on the TV frequently, but not being a native, I have nothing to compare it to, so it doesn’t mean very much to me beyond the basic intellectual “Well, that’s bad.” But we definitely are in a drought. This […]
Every now and then I get a comment that says something like “You’re very talented, congratulations.” I am always a little baffled by the congratulations. I’m touched they think I’m talented, of course, but congratulations are…I dunno…something else again. You congratulate people on graduating or having kids or buying a house or succeeding at something, […]
Doodling various face shapes. I have an urge to put some of these guys on the rococo backgrounds. http://www.deviantart.com/view/30100216/
Okay, this is just wild. http://www.animationarchive.org/pics/artzywar02.jpg Check out the website’s other work by him, by all means–but this one stands out.
This painting was inspired by a hallucination I once had. You can tell because it’s much more normal than my usual, and nary a giant penis in sight. http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/30031911/
Finally saw Mirrormask. Ah. Hmm. Hmm. I love Neil Gaiman. I respect Dave McKean, even if I don’t particularly want to cover the walls with his art. I am fiercely dedicated to whimsy and we all know my love for magical magickyness that acts freaky and arbitrary and–well–magical, and not like D&D with a well-rounded […]
James knows a good thing when he stumbles on it. Wife is depressed from missing great house, and has PMS to boot? Time for dessert and Miyazaki film! Last month, apple pie and “Spirited Away.” This month, it was mondo ice cream sandwich and “Kiki’s Delivery Service.” Next month, he’ll have to locate a copy […]
