StrangeWords and Standard Manuscript Format
Title says it all. This week’s StrangeWord article is on SMF – and the non-standardness of it. It’s basic stuff. The writing, cleaning, and working like a dog returns to normal…
It’s Pretty Pen Friday
Because it’s a GORGEOUS Friday (have the windows open and the furnace off)… I’m sharing the pretty. This isn’t outside, but it’s the newest member (thank to a dirt cheap eBay auction) of my fountain pen collection. Oh, and if anyone has any reason to buy me a bottle of wine, ever, this is my […]
My Morning of Nature
Our dog decided to “sleep in” this rainy, cool Monday. Until this… Yes, the opossum tried to play possum on the fence when the dog couldn’t knock it off. It was a fun filled morning.
Radio…Well, Quiet…and Craziness
February is the shortest month of the year – but this year it’s also the craziest. Survived two conventions back-to-back, my birthday, and one of the worst sinus attacks in quite a while (almost still getting over that one). My Day Job is nutso right now and will continue to be such for at least […]
An LOLCat for my Birthday

ConDFW is in the Rearview
And it was a totally successful convention. There was a bit of miscounting (due to lack of sleep and over-caffeination) I sold 15 copies of “When the Party’s Over”. We sold a TON of the new Redheads of the Apocalypse. Came home with a couple of AWESOME pre-birthday presents. Ate decent Asian food. Indulged in […]

My Kingdom for A Car…
Well, not the WHOLE kingdom. But as of 8 a.m. this morning, we are in need of a car. We’re looking for a solid, reliable 4-door, automatic in the ~$3K range. Preferably some kind of hatchback/wagon/suvish type for hauling art and books and stuff – but not dealbreakers. If you know anyone who has something […]
Technology Fail with Extra Fail
It’s not JUST the flash/thumb drives the bleepin’ computer doesn’t see/install/recognize – it’s ANY USB MASS STORAGE DEVICE. Yay. I can’t back up to my external hard drive either. I’m currently attempting to back up to the network drive just to ensure a backup SOMEWHERE. GRRR… I’m not sure if this is a Toshiba problem […]
Even More Technology Fail – But Gilligan-Like Day Jobbedness
“Jobbedness” – That’s your brand new word for the day. You’re welcome… Good news… my three-day temp job moves into it’s 3rd week on Monday. Yay. Fingers crossed for longer, more permanent situation there. Great company. Fun people. 1/2 the commute of the former Day Job. Bad news – Even More Technology Fail. Let me […]
