See the duck’s feet paddle faster and faster
I’ve been packing. Trying to get a load together for the man to take out with him this weekend. And also to get a bunch more ready for when he comes back. What’s nice is all that decluttering we did…
I’m BAAAACK
This last weekend was Miscon. It was spectacular. I love this con. It’s growing by leaps and bounds. It’s incredibly well-run, super friendly, and in a lovely setting. I had a blast. The panels were immensely well attended. At least…
Iron Man 3
Finally saw Iron Man 3 with the kids today. It was fun. Really liked Guy Pearce and it was fun how Tony Stark was hardly ever in his suit. I loved how Pepper became more of a character and tough…
Because
Because it’s cold and I refuse to turn the heater on in May, May 19th for criminy’s sake, I started a fire in the woodstove. Because I haven’t actually left town in seven weeks, and I haven’t seen a good…

Weight loss and fads

Stuffed myself tight as a tick for dinner. Last night of having my folks in town. Probably don’t need to eat for a few days now. But it was worth it. My dog has a sore in his armpit (front…
A little of this, a little of that
I bought this painting by a local artist Jenny Fallein. She’s married to a poet who taught in my department (they’ve decided to move). It’s a big painting. Like four feet by three feet. Here’s a not-so-great picture of it:…
It’s dog shedding time
I’ve not got much news, I’m afraid. School ended, and nothing so far has come from the showing this week. My folks arrived early, so that’s been wonderful. Weather is good. Thought we might get a thunderstorm today, but it…
