My Little Piece of History

Monday, October 29th, 2007

My house is somewhere near 95 years old.
And like any fine time aged piece of architecture, its got its quirks. (Also known as “flaws” but that would be unkind, because the house can’t help it that she’s so old or that someone thought a galley style bathroom with a width of 3 feet across would [...]

Sticks Never Amused Me Much

Friday, October 26th, 2007

Unless there is something cool to poke at.
On that note, I hate this ultraskinny trend. When your breast implants weigh more than the rest of your body its time for some pasta. Please.
You know who I really like? Helena Bonham Carter. Besides being in awesome movies, she manages to dress like a bag lady (and [...]

They Are Watching

Friday, October 26th, 2007

This week was Parent Teacher Conferences at my son’s school… he is doing extremely well, just a few little things to work on, and we are very proud that he got advanced scores in both Reading and Math!

Thankfully, I can get Zoloft for around $30 a month, but for Lunesta the cheapest I could find was [...]

Rest in Peace…

Robert Jordan. You will be missed! He passed away Sunday September 16th, and I only figured it out in Borders last night when I saw the memorial to him. It’s silly, but I felt like someone punched me in the gut. Thankfully, being the genius that he was he had made arrangements to bring his [...]

If the Shoe Fits

Thursday, October 4th, 2007

So, if people pay me to write things for them, does that mean I’m a writer?
Cause I feel like a poseur (and I’ll probably always feel that way) but damn it feels nice to have validation that I’m good at something I love. And the more positive reactions I get, the more it makes me [...]

An Open Letter to My Beloved Fantasy Fiction

Monday, October 1st, 2007

You know I love you. There isn’t one of you yet that I wouldn’t follow on a 21 book journey through space and time itself. Implied bestiality and demon rape? Sure! The death of the hero in the first book? Why not! Page after page of clothing and scenery descriptions? I may bitch and moan [...]
