We return! Pigeon Forge, Tennessee is a dreadful tourist trap, of a peculiarly religious stripe, but it was a fun jaunt anyway. The cabin was gorgeous, if decorated much like Pigeon Forge itself. Being used to camping, I was not bothered by the mice inhabiting the place. I fear no mouse. One of our friends […]

And we’re off! I’ll be out for a few days, so if I don’t get back to you on your e-mail right away, it’s not that I don’t love you/agree/want your money/need that kidney, I promise! Wish me luck in the wilds of Tennessee. If I’m not back in a week, assume I perished Deliverance […]
I was in the shower, and noticed a mosquito had come in with me. My first thought was “Aw, hell, I’m gonna get bit in all kinda scary places.” My second was “Gee, I wonder what it’s like to be a mosquito in the shower?” You gotta figure the water droplets are as big or […]
It took me a whole year to get around to doing this, but I regret nothing! http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/40022592/ For non DA users: Blackbeard’s Rugged Tampons (click for full-sized image)
James is about to tackle the wasp nest. Updates as they happen. Update: Like a dwarven ninja, he sprayed the nest with gouts of foam and ran like hell. This would have been a much better plan if the nest hadn’t had a back exit on the other side of the pillar, from which wasps […]
My Florida anise has been happy in its new spot. At least, I think it’s been happy, because today it flowered. Except that Florida anise, according to the tag, flowers in spring. Huh. While rampaging new growth is sometimes a sign of a plant about to die horribly and trying to stave off the grim […]
Another day, another…something or other. Next week, we’re going to Tennessee for a coupla days, so I’ll be incommunicado, which means that I’m scrambling to get Diggers done over the weekend. In accordance with the ancient laws of the universe, one always suffers the huge bill immediately before one goes on a trip (although that […]
Lord, it’s a day of announcements! Pre-orders are now available for the 2007 Ursula Vernon calendar. This sold out in, like, hours last time, so I kinda suggest that you might wanna order quickly–I think Ellen ordered more, but…well…y’know. The theme this year is “Rodents We Have Known,” and includes the original captions for all […]
Unnnnggghhh. Took the car in to get the brakes serviced. The guy said we didn’t need new brakes or a new air compressor. He fixed the cruise control for free. That was nice of him. Unfortunately, he also needs to take the engine apart to the tune of $900. Words like “crankcase” and “leak” and […]
Updateness! The corrected version of Digger vol 2 will be on sale from Sofawolf on the 20th. Signed copies will be available at a later date, to be announced (they gotta ship me the box to sign.) Black Dogs, vol 1 — “House of Diamond” is hopefully to be released in January. This is not […]
