There’s so much going on that I don’t quite know where to start, so here’s the capsule version: – Work, work and more work. (That’s a good thing, because things are getting DONE!) – Eye appointment: The good news is that I can wear my contacts again. The not-as-good news is that my wearing schedule [...]

The air conditioning fixed, last weekend was fantastic even if it did go by a little too swiftly. First up, the previous weekend’s JACON take: I got the TOSHIHIRO KAWAMOTO: COWBOY BEBOP ILLUSTRATIONS (~THE WIND~) book and, even more happily, a “Voice I-Doll” of Athrun from GUNDAM SEED/GUNDAM SEED DESTINY. The best part? HE TALKS!! [...]

Thank heaven it isn’t summer yet. My apartment complex’s management declared today their “annual inspection” day so they could tromp through our spaces and do important things like change AC filters, put the batteries in the smoke alarms, see if we’re doing things we shouldn’t, etc. I had to contain Josie in my bedroom with [...]

The last week or so has been mildly insane, starting with the truly bizarre hours I had to keep to make sure everything went A-OK for the last Thursday’s early morning TV appearance with the day job.

And it should be on sale this week at a big box retailer near most of you. That is all… Current Music: “Bad [...]

My unplanned blogosphere radio silence lasted a bit longer than I would have liked. Life got in the way of wonderful plans, and I didn’t feel like subjecting you, the lovely people who seem to enjoy reading my ramblings, to it. Wasn’t nice. Couldn’t make it funny or remotely entertaining if I tried. Bleh. But [...]

Ah, the joys of living in the land of flowers: We’re having a vicious lightning storm — I probably shouldn’t really be on the computer — and the TV station keeps turning on the annoying beeping sound effect as they start the “extreme weather” crawl on the bottom of the screen. YUCK! Back to work… [...]

Today found me totally wondering where this weekend went. Daylight Savings always pulls a number on my sleep patterns, and this year was no different. Woke up at 7:45 rather than the usual 6:45, and it kind of set the pace for the rest of the morning and early afternoon. The Good News: – I [...]
