Viva Pinata game…is…crack. It’s like SimLife, only cute and not so impossibly hard. And with pinatas. You have to breed the pinatas together–they do a “romance dance,” very cute, all fairly tame. At least, so I thought, until James started a game, and suddenly it turned into “Pinatas of Gor” in there…

So! Christmasness. Spent it with my folks, who are, as I’ve said before, very cool. Got kid brother a PS2 and some games. Corruption of youth proceeds apace. Some very nice gifts. James got me a lovely necklace and a copy of “Viva Pinata!” and my father sent me one of those bird feeders that […]
Back from the wilds of Pennsylvania! I have very little to report, except the following thoughts on the director’s cut of LOTR. 1. It had more Faramir. I approve of this greatly, as I would not kick him out of bed for failing to hold Osgiliath.2. Aragorn still charges a platoon of light elven archers […]
Okay, gang, off for the holidays. If you need anything…err…well, call 911 if it won’t wait, and if it will, I’ll talk to ya later this week! And a merry Die Natalis Solis Invicti to all!
Calf length black velvet skirt — $29 Running out to get more ink and paper — $79 Expression on husband’s face as he checks out ass on way out the door — priceless. Generally I assume people love me for my brain, but every now and then, a smidge of evidence to the contrary doesn’t […]
Man, the last “Doctor Who” was a downer. Realizing that this will drop my geek cred several notches, I did not actually watch “Doctor Who” as a child, and so had little interest in the remake. It wasn’t until a coupla months ago that James roped me in, aided by the fact that the second […]
So James picked up the new Tom Waits album. It’s not bad. It has its moments. Even Tom Waits that I’m not overwhelmed by is a damn sight better than 99% of the rest of the music out there, god knows. And, yeah, it has its moments. Unfortunately, Tom Waits had this one moment, way […]
I have been stressed and burned out and wracked with guilt for not painting for days and days and days. On the one hand, filling the Christmas rush print orders, which is work that needs to be done but still…not painting. On the other hand, in the last month, I have written over 100K worth […]
Spent yesterday Christmas shopping. James’s nieces and nephew are the killer–the one niece loves…god help me…Lisa Frank. The less said about the time I spent trying to pick out Sparkly Glitter Stationary, the better. A piece of me died in that store aisle. I long for the days of Hello Kitty. In writing news, Scarn […]
My father makes his own bio-diesel, as I’ve mentioned, out of used cooking oil. In case you’ve ever wanted another reason not eat at fast food joints, I recommend his post on the subject… http://gvernon.livejournal.com/2474.html
