I finally finished R's baby quilt, in time for her second winter at least! Here's a photo: It's called Rebecca's Road. The path travels crazily all through the quilt, just like our paths in life. And in one place the path gets reversed, signifying that sometimes we make mistakes, but if we keep moving forward they will straighten themselves out. Her mother...

So, I've finally gotten into Red vs. Blue . I know, like, way late, right? I'm just not a big fan of watching things on my computer, and the DVD sets were expensive for not knowing what was on them. But then I came across a 75% off sale and got seasons 4 and 5 for $5 each. And watched both in two days. For those not in the know, Red vs Blue is a humorous series made by people using Halo to animate...

OK, so, with my nice new digital camera, which has a sufficiently good amount of storage space, I took an assload of photos. No, really, if I printed them all out it would be really uncomfortable. Sorry, that was totally inappropriate it. I really should delete it. I think all sense of brain-being-good has been dissolved by this work week. I'll try to behave myself. Anyways, if you want to just...

Since zoethe and bec76 have been urging me to get more into bellydancing, I played the doumbek drum for about an hour last night, slapping my way through an instructional video. I used to be a semi-professional drummer, so both Gin and Bec were curious to see how I'd take to it. I've been resisting it, though, because I hate drum circles. Nothing against those of you who like...

Long-time readers (and real-life visitors) will remember the Christmas Moose we had on our lawn, before it was killed dead by a plow. It was a wireframe moose that lit up gaily, and was much-loved by our friends because it was the only way to pick our house out of the otherwise-identical row of houses on our street. Everyone loved the moose. Now, bec76 and zodarzone got us skelemingoes...

DC I totally forgot to include Detective Comics #853 by Neil Gaiman and Andy Kubert in my Weekly Haul because I had set it aside for  bec76   to read.  Geez, now that it's all on its own I feel a lot of extra pressure. OK. Andy's art is, well, Andy's art. It's certainly his good stuff, and it's obvious he took his time with it, but I've never been as taken with his art as I am with...

The thing that really struck me about the Cleveland show was how damn much I miss my friends. Don't get me wrong. I love my island. I love Maine, I love the Atlantic and my new life. But seeing everyone together in one room almost brought me to tears, and there were not enough hugs to go around. Sitting in theferrett  's living room after the show and laughing with everyone I thought: this...

When I hear about an odd phrase, I immediately hop online to see if that phrase is a dot-com. Imagine my horror at discovering that ClownBukkake.com is alive and well. And yet there's something indomitable about the human spirit that someone heard these two words before me, and said, "On those two words, I will plant my site." However, bec76 and I were talking about some friends holding...

This is a repost from my personal journal. I've posted it to this community because yuki_onna called it "the first spontaneous, in-the-wild, Palimpsest fanfic" , and while I agree with her that it isn't really fanfic... ... it is art created because of, and in a way, companion to the wonderous Palimpsest ; merely a brief glimpse of some of the maps I saw in my head while reading, specially...
