Plinky asked, “What energizes you?” I struggle with major depression (actually, treatment-resistant depression), so it’s difficult to find much that energizes me. However, really great conversation with just a few people does it quite well. The same goes for story games, or a really good tabletop roleplaying session that focuses on characters and plot rather than […]
Cruisin’
Plinky asks, “Would you ever take a cruise? Why or Why not? Where would you go?” Sure. I’d love to take a cruise. In fact, that seems like a lovely way to travel to/through the Caribbean or along the coast of Alaska. I know people who have done both who recommend both trips highly. I think […]
Lost Girl and Canadian Television
Katie recently introduced me to Lost Girl, a show that is very obviously NOT an American show. It’s exotic and amusing and sexy—especially sexy. But then what do you expect of a show about a succubus? I knew it wasn’t American as soon as I heard some of the banter, which wouldn’t fly on broadcast […]
Cat & Dolphins!

Maybe It Isn’t the Flu
Katie seems to be feeling a bit better. She slept through most of the day, and just got up a few minutes ago (right at the end of my and Sam’s date) feeling like she could eat something. Solid food, even! That’s progress. Since she didn’t have any antivirals, I don’t think this was really […]
“Go ahead, America. You don’t need us.”
“Watch all the topsoil go down the Mississippi. Transport your children in baskets on top of your SUV deathmobiles. Keep playing with your cute and cuddly pal, the atom. Press your nose against the TV screen for even more educational 3rd Rock From The Sun enjoyment. Use plentiful gasoline to burn book- readers at the […]
Vacation?
You’re packing for vacation. What are you most likely to forget? What do you wish you’d packed after you get to your destination?
Dollhouse Fans? TV stuff
Do any of you record Dollhouse? We don’t do cable, so Katie and I have been watching it streaming on Hulu. This coming Friday’s episode isn’t going to be streamed, though, and we don’t want to miss it. Any chance of some help? Pretty please? It’s fairly amazing how much you can find to watch […]
Time Flies
I used to get so annoyed when my mother would say, “Twenty years from now, nobody will know the difference.” She was wrong in a sense—I certainly still know the difference, about so very many things. On the other hand, I do understand the longer view much better now. Twenty years seemed like such a […]
Tired Now
I had a pain doctor appointment last week but wasn’t up to going. So Sam rescheduled it for me, and I headed across town today. Apparently, this was the day for “fitting in” everybody who has canceled an appointment in the last Goddess-knows-how-long, because I arrived to find no parking (even on the street in front […]
