There’s been a lot of behind-the-scenes legal battling going on with regard to various Internet providers desiring to block or restrict certain types of access to the Web. Comcast is one company that wants to sell its priority connections to high-paying corporate accounts and “providing” the remaining dribbles to the home user. I have been Continue reading →
What Is WITH The Spiders?
8 July 2008 By 6 Comments
Remember a few weeks ago when I found a very large “Southern House Spider” in my bedroom and killed it? Then a couple of days ago when I killed a big Wolf Spider with an egg sac on the porch? Well, that same night I came inside and killed another huge Southern House Spider in Continue reading →
Weird Feelings
2 June 2008 By 4 Comments
In the past couple of weeks, I’ve noticed a number of timely developments in my circumstances that I would call synchronicity if I only had a better handle on it all. I mentioned that I started schema therapy about 6 weeks ago; this has generated a lot of back-burner thought processing and semi-conscious contemplation that, Continue reading →
Joey Was Here

Among the stranger synchronicities of recent days, today I found myself Wiki-ing Joey Ramone, who has been on my mind all night, only to discover that today is his birthday. He would have been 57 this year, which makes him ten years older than I am. Or would have.
Once during a week of weird behavior on Meridjet’s part, I showed up at our “astral house” (a shared space, construct, or whatever) to find him talking to a very tall and lanky guy I could have sworn was Joey Ramone. I promptly about-faced and hid in the kitchen til he was gone. This probably makes me the wimpiest person ever: either I missed my chance to meet a dead punk idol, or I am afraid of my own imagination. Ha!
WTF is the Blog Awards Challenge?
16 April 2008 By Leave a Comment
There’s a new site and blogging contest called “Blog Awards Challenge,” based on the internet-age-old practice of supplying writing prompts, or challenges, for community-wide use. On LiveJournal, there are several communities that do this, particularly those given over to “muses.’ Muses are typically roleplay characters modeled after characters from books, movies, and television shows. The apparent goal of the Blog Awards Challenge is to award bloggers for the best writing, but as of yet there don’t appear to be any contest sponsors, professional judges, or anything aside from fellow bloggers running with a new idea. The url, the blog award challenge dot com, doesn’t match the title of the site, and a cursory look around shows that the site is run by two bloggers and allegedly aided by
Collar Me in My Dreams
28 March 2008 By 2 Comments
Another quick archival post, that was posted as an addendum to my last post of a few minutes ago.
“Just remembered. After processing dreams ended, I dreamt I went collar shopping. I tried on a metal one made of a bunch of very cool-looking links (variety of maybe four different kinds forming clusters, each link of a different type of metal) and almost got that but decided it was too necklacy. Then I moved on to leather, but all they had were pastels. *laughsnort* I was going for purple when the dream shifted and there were a bunch of zombies or some shit like that wandering around. We had to evacuate. Later there was some sexual aspect which I can’t see clearly now, but I woke up on the verge
