Yup, it’s time for a year-end wrap up post! Brace yourselves for bullet points, as we play “Ursula Attempts To Make Herself Feel Better About The Fact She Probably Didn’t Accomplish Nearly Enough Last Year!” So! In 2013… In the garden: I ID’d a number of exciting new species in the yard, including cranefly orchid, […]

Or at least the, y’know, mild enthusiasm. I pick up this old manuscript and remember how much I love it. And I could finish it! And self-publish it, even, since no publisher will ever buy “Four Extremely Broken People Have An Adventure!” But I am convinced on some level that it must suck because I […]
…as Rooster would say. Whatever you celebrate, however, with friends, family, blissful solitude, just another day, or in my case, takeout Chinese food and vegging–have a lovely evening and a fine holiday.

ROOSTER: “Heyyyyyy, ladies…you know, we have a friendly wood-woad back home at the castle…all you’d have to do is renounce evil and I’d be happy […]
Yesterday Kevin and I went to see the Disney movie “Frozen.” It is a Disney Princess movie, a genre of which I am generally skeptical.

We are down in Kevin’s office when I glance out the window and see the Fed-Ex guy lugging a very large computer box up the walk. The new server has arrived.* I open the door and we make small talk while I sign. Then Kevin finishes putting his shoes on and come out onto the […]
The Art Thing is now known as Artemis Thing, because…err…it wasn’t an Arthur. Paint got added! A lot of PITT pen, some acrylic paint in Unbleached Titanium, Titanium White, and Transparent Raw Sienna. Angus would like to assist in this process. Artemis Thing gets a leather tunic.
