It's 7:39pm on Wednesday night, and I find myself paying very close attention to this moment. A typical married-at-home-boring evening. Furface is sitting behind my chair as I write this, panting a little in his wild hope that I'll either throw the ball or let him outside to play with his Pomeranian puffball girlfriend next… Continue reading

By this time I'm sure you've heard the story, as it's all over American news (as opposed to BBC, which is where I try to get most of my world news since they have a more balanced world view).A man, if you can call him that, in Austria was recently caught after holding his own… Continue reading I can’t think of a pithy title for this.

That's right...and I DIDN'T fall down! And I remembered ALL the choreography! Woohoo!! It actually was pretty fun and not as nervewracking as the first time Nic and I danced the Guild show. Don't know if that's because we had more people in our group (as opposed to a duet) or because I was more… Continue reading It’s done!

It's Horse Expo weekend. It's also the weekend my parents are making the final move to Los Angeles and the weekend Nic and I are in the Guild of Oriental Dance annual show. Yeah. I'm not really ready for any of the above, to be honest.Bellydance was not my usual positive-body-image class last night, for… Continue reading Vacation!

Yeah. that's really all I can say. Thank any and all deities that I might actually be able to catch up on my sleep this weekend.Only one more week until the Guild show. I get sick just thinking about it...I'm SO NOT READY.

Seriously.If you have any ANY interest in fantasy novels I highly recommend Anne Bishop's Black Jewels series. Definitely not for children, this adult fantasy… Continue reading Feeding the Ravenous Imagination

I was so irked at The History Channel today I had to send them a comment. We're watching a show that's supposed to investigate whether Cleopatra actually killed herself using a famous FBI Profiler and modern forensics. I think it's a great idea. Except for the same glaring issue that plagues ALL of the History… Continue reading History Channel: The Great Misinformer

So it appears the Bob Job is real...it pays sorta decently and he's getting fingerprinted at the airport tomorrow...to start Thursday. This is still a temporary fix to an ongoing issue though, because I know running a forklift and a floor polisher won't be sufficient for him in the long run. But in the meantime,… Continue reading Almost Hopeful?
