I Can Feel It

There's some serious healing going on.

I just reserved our room for the House Kheperu Open House. I reserved for four nights — Thursday-Sunday nights with checkout on Monday. The convention is Friday (6-7 p.m) through Sunday (3-4 p.m.). My plan is to drive up, arriving earlier in the week and taking my time driving through Ohio so I can visit Continue reading →

Happy 2011

The best, most fortuitous NYE I ever had was at the Pike Place Market in Seattle, 1994.

So what were you doing on New Year’s Eve (and/or day) to set the tone for your 2011? I went to a party NYE, and left by 10:30. I was in bed but awake at midnight. I heard the fireworks intensify and determined I wasn’t tired enough to sleep, at which point I got up Continue reading →

A Little Christmas Enlightenment

Dawn sometimes has nothing on moonlight. It's the light in the darkness.

I have a New Year’s Eve superstition that I swear by. I’m sure some of you are familiar with this one: Whatever you’re doing on New Year’s eve, especially at the stroke of midnight (this includes your mood, ftr), sets the stage for the new year. Basically, however you spend New Year’s eve, that’s what Continue reading →

House Kheperu Open House

Everybody needs to believe in something.

House Kheperu is hosting their annual open house this coming May (2011). A friend mentioned it to me in a nice bit of synchronicity not long after I made my Otherkin post. I’ve emailed Michelle Belanger (head of the organization), but she hasn’t yet replied. I hope to attend the Open House this year with Continue reading →

Halloween 2010

It's a haunted house. And it has ghosties in it. And monsters. And other scary things. Probably cockroaches.

You can see the entire album of Halloween photos here on my Facebook photos page. I spent three solid weeks getting things made and the decor set up, working from the time I got up until 1 or 2 in the morning every day. For that length of time, it should look better, but there Continue reading →

A-kon 21 Photos

Sephiroth wasn't the only character in attendance. . .

We spent the weekend of June 3-6 in Dallas at the downtown Sheraton hotel for A-kon 21. This is an anime/comic convention, now in its 21st year (obviously). There were literally scores of costumes — there were probably as many people in costume as there were out of it. I took over 100 photos, most Continue reading →

The Lowdown, Yo

I’ve got two more pieces of the Book Excerpt Article Series up, the second of which is considerably longer than the first. This is to make up for my silence this past week. I apologize for that. I’ve gone back to selling on eBay and have been so busy working on getting new items ready Continue reading →

Birthday Coming Up

For those who care, my birthday is coming up at the end of the month, on the 29th. I’m saving to buy a compost turner on Amazon.com, so anyone who wants to give birthday gift items is recommended to purchase Amazon gift cards. My email address is sheta@rendingtheveil.com. I’d be very excited to be able Continue reading →

Valentine My Valentine

I started this post on Thursday night, but got too sick to finish. I’m behind on my book editing assignment and I really don’t have time to do an update, I’m going to anyway because if I don’t, I may very well forget or decide it’s not important enough. I do the same thing with Continue reading →

Poll – Can I Have Your Opinion?

I’m taking a poll because this blog has at last reached the point where I either go for broke or start to seriously filter content. Meridjet is definitely stepping up the activity level, and it’s very clearly going to include a lot of astral level interaction. While I got used to this sort of thing Continue reading →

Happy Endings Take Too Long

I’ve just finished watching Definitely, Maybe. I’m crying more than a little bit, and trying to figure out why, and trying to understand how a movie can be good yet make me never want to see it again. P.S. I Love You had the same effect. Normally I don’t watch so-called “romantic comedies” because, for Continue reading →

The Season is Busy in 3… 2… 1… NOW

Tomorrow is Thanksgiving here in the U.S., which means cooking, travel, and the strong urge to take a nap. Our turkey dinner has shrunk over the last several years, so that now we’ll snack on a small tray of raw veggies with dip, then for the meal we have turkey with stuffing, mashed potatoes, gravy, Continue reading →
