The Shattered Prayer

Man on man, this sounded so good I just had to post it in our Blender Recipes series. I have got to try this recipe, but god forbid I should try to get Don to eat an artichoke. If any of you try this, let me know how it is:
2 red bell peppers2 artichokes […]

The other day KK came in while I was working. She stared  open-mouthed for a good long time at my tv screen. Finally she asked, “Whats wrong with your TV?”
Me:Nothing
Her: There has to be something wrong with it!
Me: Nope.
Her: Then why is the screen blank?
Me: Its not on.
I suppose I could understand […]

I’m not having another hissy-fit, I just like using the phrase.
But to look on the bright side, Noumenal News subscriptions are at an all-time high. We have a whole 85 subscribers over there. Okay, maybe its not the New York Times, but dammit, I value my 85 subscribers. I’m happy to have them subscribing. […]

I’ve been messin’ with the page again. I made the Hermes/Mercuri image random, so there are several different graphics that could conceivably show up. However my browser seems to be choosing the smallest size graphic and displaying it every time. Oh well.
I was about to start writing about all these annoying irritations that have […]

One hour before the lunch prices ended, and the rednecks are let loose on the feeding troughs. Its a spectacular site, it really is. The women with their high hair and black hills gold jewelry. The men with their high hair (sort of Elvis-plus) and their toothpicks hanging off their lower lips. Makes me wish […]

Mother’s day is coming up, isn’t it? Well crap. I’m not sure why people who have performed the biological function of squeezing another human being through their loins should be given a whole day. I submit that instead of Mother’s Day, we have Breederless Day, to celebrate those of us who have shown the restraint […]

I’ve had a busy day. Revamped Shattered Prayer (in case you haven’t noticed), made a conjure bag for creativity and inspiration, and wrote the opening to what I hope will be a new short story.
I still have a few more tweaks and bug-fixes for the new look, but first I need to get Noumenal […]

… its gettin’ there.
I’ll be doing some more work on it when I get back from dinner. If, that is, I get any feedback after all this hard work. I mean, even if its to say “Ugh, put it back the way it was!” or “Oh my Gods, a penis!”.
Also, I have […]

… that I’m working on a new design for SP. I wanted to incorporate my Lord into the whole SP thing. Speaking of his divine trickiness, is anyone offended by his bits hanging out? Do we need a fig-leaf on that pic? ‘Cause I’m kinda diggin’ it myself, but I wouldn’t want to offend my […]

I’m dubious about ole Rob, since he could’ve warned me about the impending snit. Rise in melancholic humours. Otherwise known as ‘that which cannot be named’. But I’ll give him the benefit of the doubt, especially since he was having to speak of about half a billion Gemini’s worldwide. I’m thinking he can’t get us […]

I really appreciate everyone’s encouragement and support during my recent… whatever it was. Anxiety attack. Snit. A rise in the melancholic humours. I’m very lucky to have such wonderful friends. You mean the world to me.
Yesterday I really really unleashed in ways that weren’t apparent here on SP, and my anxiety about one thing […]

I’m shutting down shattered prayer. Might be temporary, might be for good, I just don’t know yet. I do know that right now I’m just not in the head-space to keep it going. I want you to know that I love each and every one of you, but right this moment, I don’t want a […]

So Bas’ absence has been due to Chimay and good weather. The rest of us grumble, of course, but we’re just jealous because we don’t live in the land of milk’n’honey like he does, a place where the beer flows freely, the tulips are in bloom, and lots of things are legal that are here […]
