You have to love the weather around here. One week insanely cold; the next week warm enough to make everyone wish fervently they could go outside, and then just as quickly to what we’re dealing with right now. Wind. We get wind in this area of California. It’s not your mild delta breeze - no, […]
Friday night, a horde descended on our house, armed with character sheets, pencils, books, and dice so that EvilPheemy could finally run the first part of his Call of Cthulu game. For the first time in my (albeit short and sporadic) role-playing career, I’m playing a male character, mainly because with a game set in […]
In all my life I can honestly say that I rarely, if ever, have food cravings. I’ve never been one of those people who just *had* to have chocolate, or cookies, or any other food that people regularly crave. Granted I get hungry, and more often then not I eat because I’m bored or feeling […]
Random Acts of Journaling - March:
“I understand lightning. I am not afraid of the rumble, gentle as an empty stomach but powerful enough to shake the ground beneath my feet. I’m not afraid when the sky opens up and blinds my eyes with rain. And when its cold fingers reach down, looking for someone to […]
A few months ago we bought a set of eight dragons. They’re all no larger than perhaps seven inches tall, and so far they’ve lined the window sills in the breakfast nook, lending a little bit of bright color to the otherwise still undecorated room. They’re very cool dragons, and if the company ever makes […]
If Project - March: If you were to think of life as a competition, how would you rate your performance? What criteria measure your success?
If we are to consider life a competition, we must accept the reality that it is a competition without any other teams involved. It’s a race of one; a solo player […]
This morning we got up early and hopped on our bikes for a ‘quick’ ride to Starbucks (which I now know is about a six-mile round trip). This time it was much less painful than the last time we attempted it - for one thing my butt isn’t the least bit sore, and neither are […]
Saturday we drove down to Berkeley to visit Beth and Sabs, getting a chance to play with all their kitties (or at least the ones who were willing to be social), eat lunch, and catch up. While we were there, Beth showed me her installation of
When the alarm went off this morning I bapped at it weakly and then rolled over to poke at Richard. He mumbled something about being really tired. The door to the guest room doesn’t latch (an item on the list of ‘hey, it’s been a year so now it’s time to come do the basic […]
Walking into D’s house is, for me, like stepping back in time. An orange tabby nearly trips over his own feet to come greet us, while a small siamese is a bit more sedate about seeing visitors. Several other cats peer at us with a marked lack of interest from shelves and around furniture. There’s […]
