I has a motorcycle! I rode said motorcycle on the street! It was amazing! Meet Simone. My motorcycle. She's a 1981 Suzuki GS 250 T. The nifty sportbike of the time. Only a little 250cc bike, but rather powerful for a 250. I bought her a few months ago for 240 dollars. There were many issues in getting her on the street. Mainly... The guy I bought it from didn't have the ...
Vyvyan comes home today! I just had a half-hourconversation with the emergency vet -- she says he did NOT have a seizure, though he was awfully close. His temperature was way low, and it would have been high for a seizure. It doesn't mean he was any further from death, but it does mean there's no brain damage (I have been so not thinking about that) and that the disease is less advanced than I ...

FYI, my Proofreading From Hell ended yesterday. Hurray! There are likely still many mistakes left, since I stopped caring after the second day, but as one friend from study abroad once said about her homework assignment, "It took two minutes, it's ugly, and it's crap, but it's done, and that's the American way." I know; bad unprofessional Minako-chan. But there are only so many days in a row ...
Paris Hilton is going back to jail! My faith in the American justice system is restored...somewhat. My faith in the Christian god is still nonexistent. However, my belief in karma is still steady. Well, I don't think we've seen the end of this, no sir. There's still plenty of melodrama to come, oh yes. In fact, this is shaping up to be the smash hitsoap opera of the season (it remains to be ...
Calloo, callay, oh frabjous day! President Obama! Oh yes! This seems even more amazing than John F. Kennedy's win back in the day - when some Americans could still remember a time of "No Irish Need Apply" (for the job of Joe the Plumber, never mind Chief Executive Officer of a nation with a very White Anglo-Saxon Protestant upper crust). Now, of course, everyone remembers the era of "Camelot" ...
... The vorpal blade went snicker-snack! He left it dead, and with its head He went galumphing back. "And, has thou slain the Jabberwock? Come to my arms, my beamish boy! O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!' He chortled in his joy. `Twas brillig, and the slithy toves Did gyre and gimble in the wabe; All mimsy were the borogoves, And the mome raths outgrabe, " she smiled softly as she finished,...
... dwarves have sent emissaries to request aid as far away as Iskahaal, the capital of Ruustivaar, and Callay, the capital of the Obandi Republic. Unfortunately aid has been slow in coming. These countries have troubles ...a lack of work. So when the high priest of the temple of Pelor in the heart of Callay, where the story begins, put out a call for a number of experienced travelers to be well paid...
