The Shattered Prayer

I spilled tequila on my keyboard today. Is that bad? I mean, it can’t be any worse than all the cat-hair adhered to my keys. And hey, the tequila might even eat through some of the cat-hair and make typing easier.

The Baptists finally came by to help us clean up the damage done in the yard by the tornady. And yes, it was very nice of them. My nephew and niece were also here, mowing the lawn and helping pick up limbs and what-not.
I, on the other hand, was not doing any of those […]

So, it being Sunday an’all, and not a very good day for TV, I found myself watching the History Channel. I can see why Richard enjoys history so much. I watched a show about Stalin’s plan to create an army of monkey-men.
What I don’t understand is why Richard would rather read about pilgrims than […]

Che correctly pointed out that I have been reading about the Bubonic Plague. Just a little light reading about a happy topic to whittle the hours away on the train as I go to and from work. But the thing is, I’ve moved on from the plague and am now some 300 years […]

Cleto is 2 years old today. And like Richard, Cleto is an Aquarius. I was thinking today about all the things Richard and Cleto have in common.
They’re both intelligent and very witty. They’re both affectionate toward those they love. They’re both moody, quirky, loud and inquisitive. They both like having their butts licked.
For […]

It was from a contest I entered months ago. Which really isn’t all that exciting when you think about it. I prefer Mojo’s “mysterious gift from the other side” theory, or my own “poison t-shirt from my worst enemy” theory. (Note that I’m the one who comes up with the paranoid hypothesis).
Then there […]

My baby Bea is 8 years old today. Thank you bea for eight wonderful years of cuddly, furry, sometimes pointy and bitey love.
When Pi and I decided to expand our family (not in the crazy way he’s doing now, but in a more considered, Planned Parenthood kind of way), we decided to adopt from […]

My cats are seriously angry with me now. I’ve definitely interrupted their schedule.
Cleto sez: “Its no fun playing with the rattly mice in the middle of the night, unless it wakes you up!”
Bea sez: “Its my sleepy-time. You know I can’t sleep unless its right next to your head, so that my relentless purring […]

Hot damn. I’m feeling pretty good. I wrote two whole chapters on my book today. I really cranked out the words. I feel like I should reward myself.
Oh well, I guess I’ll just have a cookie.
Tonight I notice Josh is hunting werewolves on Destination Truth. I love werewolves. Unfortunately, I hate Josh. He’s […]

I thought we’d put Morrissey in the blender, so why am I quoting him in the title? Because lately its been true. Every day I wake up feeling like its still the weekend. There’s a certain ennui that has blanketed the past few days. Its been like sunday, and though Sundays are great, they’re great […]

Today I was thinking about what music I wanted played at my funeral. Don’t ask me why I was thinking that, I just was. No, I’m not dwelling on death or goin’ all emo on yah (), it was more a musical thought than a death one.
And let me say, Christian Slater has gone […]

That long weekend was kinda hellish. If hell was really really dull and boring.
I’m not sure how weekends are different from any other day to me. I do the same thing on weekends that I do on weekdays. I read tarot, write, try to make some dosh.
I think the difference could be Don’s […]

So for Mother’s Day my mother got a trip to the hospital in an ambulance. That was late last night. She sounded much better this morning, and we’re unsure of when she might be cut loose.
But I tell ya. Those EMTs were some of the unhealthiest looking men I’ve ever seen. It doesn’t inspire […]

So… Lost.
I actually enjoyed last night’s episode. I can’t really say I gave it my undivided attention, but I haven’t done that in a long time. I can say I paid more attention than I have in recent weeks. Months maybe.
When Locke’s father first appeared on the island, I thought it was pretty […]

Will petty annoyance week ever end? KK came home with lice.
Lice!
I know it happens to every grammar school kid. Well… it didn’t happen to me. I don’t remember ever having lice.
Though I did once have a roommate with crabs.
Still, yuck.
No one else in the house seems to have them. I use tea-tree […]
