Me: I’m going to clean my cube today. Amelia: I’ve heard that one before. Me: Shut up. Amelia: About twice a month, since you put me up. Me: Well… I’m easily distracted! Amelia: By shiny objects… dull objects… dust motes…. sun beams… oxygen molecules. When aren’t you distracted? Me: uuhhhhh….. So… who do you think [...]

This week’s Then and Now is brought to you by a Belly Dancing show I went to a week or so ago, with KK. I would just like to say how much I love this song. If I had a son, I’d name him Screamin’. But his middle name would not be Jay, it would [...]

“Hi, again, wicked, gorgeous, unimaginable vastness of the universe.” Ok, I admit, I was sitting here with zero ideas for a 50 word fiction. I even thought I’d write the fiction first, and let the theme come out of that, but nothing happened. Blank screen. Then I read Mark Morford’s latest article, about the Kiwa [...]

I am doing a riddle contest online… again. This is bad, because I’ll get stuck on a riddle and it will occupy my mind, nonstop, until I solve it. It drives me nuts. I finally had to quit, the last time I did this, because the obsession was overwhelming. And the riddles were getting too [...]

I’ve been a popcorn addict lately. But it has to be made the old fashioned way. In a popcorn maker, not a microwave. It makes a world of difference. So, I think I need this: A portable sauce pan and popcorn maker. It runs off of your car’s cigarette lighter! That’s so cool! Only problem [...]

Evildeb and Lloyd just returned from Reno Nevada, where Lloyd fenced in a tournament. This is her report. Well, I took my camera but when I tried to take a picture I discovered that I’d removed the disk. So, I took the attached pictures with my phone. The view from our window was very pretty, [...]

How did I come across this episodes covers? I can’t remember. But the original song is pretty fabulous. It’s the impeccable Nina Simone. This song was featured on the second “Six Feet Under” soundtrack, which is a disc I enjoy a lot. It also features Imogen Heap singing “I’m a lonely little petunia.” Can’t beat [...]

I need to go on vacation, kids. It’s not just a time off from work thing, although who doesn’t love that. I need to go away somewhere I’ve never been. Walk streets in a city I do not know. Or maybe I need to go to a cabin by a lake, somewhere quiet, with just [...]

Evildeb is reading technical support cases in German. She’s translating them in babelfish. We thought the above was from the error message, and wondered why we couldn’t have the same words in the English error message. But it’s not part of the error message. None the less, it’s a good blog title. My day, however, [...]
