Dollhouse

Saturday, February 20th, 2010

This post has been on the burner for a while. I wish I had been able to finish it before Dollhouse was done with; but alas these things don’t always happen the way we wish. Dollhouse is one of several shows that’s given us a lot of food for thought about ourselves and the way [...]

Doing Myself a Disservice

Tuesday, February 16th, 2010

I’m hoping to rectify it though; but at the risk of sounding weird I’ve been having in a contradictory manner, you know like discovering you have eczema and then don’t actually look into or use any eczema treatment and wonder why you’re still itching and bleeding.
Well, that’s what I’ve continued to do with my [...]

Special Effects — Still my Favorite

Tuesday, February 2nd, 2010

It’s been a while since I’ve dyed my hair. I dyed it Scarlet and Black, or more appropriately “Nuclear Red” and black before we went to ECT for my BILs wedding but I hadn’t re-dyed it since then. Our hair dye supply was greatly depleted as a lot of the dye bottles had reached their [...]

3D TV

Sunday, January 31st, 2010

I took Mum to see ‘Avatar’ yesterday because I wanted her to be able to see the wonder of it in 3D. I just don’t feel that it will be the same in 2D especially not in 2D on a small screen. It’d be like trying to use shrink tube terminals to do an oil [...]

Venture Bros

Saturday, January 23rd, 2010

Hubbie stumbled across “Venture Bros” before we got rid of our extended cable, and we’ve been watching the first season via the wonder of Netflix since then. It’s really interesting in a bizarre sort of way given it is a knock off of a variety of things and a satire at the same time.
I [...]

RSS Feed Readers

Friday, January 22nd, 2010

Up until recently I had used Thunderbird for my feed reader; but then tragedy struck for the third time, and I realized I did not want to put all my links back into Thunderbird in case something else happened. I wanted a feed reader that was online, one I could access from anywhere, so that [...]

Mac & Cheese for breakfast

Tuesday, January 19th, 2010

It may not be thermogenic fat burners, nor your typical breakfast food but I like it anyway. Munchkin asked for “mac & chez” for breakfast and I figured that was simple enough for my caffeine withdrawal-suffering brain, so easy mac it is.
I did however find it silly that the box told me I had [...]

Sorting out the Twitter Thing

Monday, January 18th, 2010

For a while I had a separate twitter for the tarot site, and for personal, but I found I was never using the tarot twitter except to advertise sales and wasn’t really networking with the clients, so I canceled it and combined them, but I don’t think that was the answer. I think I should [...]

Stabilizing?

Saturday, January 9th, 2010

I’m hesitant to call it that because there’s still some dregs of issues and tiredness and irritability, but I suppose that may also be the last of the sleeping pills coming out of my system as well. I haven’t taken them since Wednesday and I’m tired and sore but we’ve also still been doing a [...]

2 Years

Monday, December 21st, 2009

Two years ago today we signed the mortgage paperwork on this house. I felt it auspicious that we were signing the paperwork on the Solstice, and despite the rough times we’ve been through with money and health, the house has always remained, a great comfort and great shelter.
Slowly and surely we’re getting used to [...]
