So...I get quite a few spam comments that are filtered out by this platform (thank goodness) and I always review them before deleting because often they're entertaining. The recent spate of "is cbd oil good for..." followed by a variety of ailments have been fun to read. This one, however, made me shake my head.… Continue reading Negatives and Positives: a Spectrum

Wildlife Here is Determined to Drive Me Nuts in the best ways
First, let me just say now that I'm moved into the house (on five acres across from a golf course): I did NOT realize how die-hard some folk are about their golf game. As I write this it's a whopping 37 degrees Fahrenheit and alternating between rain and sleet. Yet there are multiple groups of… Continue reading Wildlife Here is Determined to Drive Me Nuts in the best ways
Twin Missives
I moved fully in with the horde a week ago, with Ragnar, Minerva, and fAngus. We now have five couches. FIVE. COUCHES. WHYYYYY. We are all adjusting, and things are good. So now I live with the twins, who both have fun things to share today. I anticipate more of these, especially since Stone (yes,… Continue reading Twin Missives
Packing my Office, and Other Random Weird
I'm working on packing in between breaks for silly things like work and seeing people and sleeping. I hate packing. I hate moving. Sigh. But I'm excited for the result, even though I'm sad I'll no longer see the neighbor's new black lab puppy growing up and awkwardly following his older packmate around their yard… Continue reading Packing my Office, and Other Random Weird
Review: Beneath the Keep by Erika Johansen
*I received an ARC from the publisher for this book in exchange for an honest review. I'm a sucker for good historical alternative fantasy, especially dark fantasy, and I adore a story that I can't predict. Erika Johansen's Beneath the Keep is brutally satisfying, and left me wanting to read the rest of the series… Continue reading Review: Beneath the Keep by Erika Johansen
Planning in the Dark – an update of sorts
This isn't a funny post (although I bet I'll have a few after I get the furballs moved, because the horde is understandably concerned about fAngus protest-pooping and Minerva eating their stuffed animals when we move). It's more of a reminder to myself. In my Pagan calendar, the period of time between Yule (12/21ish) and… Continue reading Planning in the Dark – an update of sorts
Sunday Spam
The spam I get in the comments section of this blog is often stupid, sometimes horrendous, and occasionally too funny to ignore. Some of today's selection, the bits that weren't about how to get CBD products, seemed worth repeating. Most of these are under the same "Hairstyles" bot (uses different IP/email addresses but same handle),… Continue reading Sunday Spam
Adventures With The Horde
One lovely fall Friday not so long ago, six children sporting various amounts of fur and legs were awakened at 6:30am, because the bus picks up the human children at 7am. It was a chilly October morning, and the adults communicated mostly in quiet grunts or sighs, waiting for a single-cup-at-a-time coffee maker to HURRY… Continue reading Adventures With The Horde
Still not one of the reviews I owe
So, I'm still behind. In my own defense, in the last week or so I: Flew12 hours in a mask (9 in the air, the rest in airports)Remembered just how close LAX is to a scene from The Walking DeadSnorkeled with sea turtlesDiscovered the joy of POG (that's passion fruit, orange, and guava juice mixed)Watched… Continue reading Still not one of the reviews I owe
Wait, is it September already?
I have a few new Tiffany Reisz books read and pending review (if you haven't read any of her Original Sinners or standalone novels, check my Reviews page for links), but I've been remiss in actual blog posts this summer, so it seemed like now's a good time to put up a general update of… Continue reading Wait, is it September already?
