Going Out of Town
I'll be out of town from Thursday, June 3 until the following Monday or Tuesday. I doubt either Alanora (who's here with me this week) or I will have time to post anything before then, as we're busy getting packed. We've spent the past week running errands ranging from car ...

Furs, Bones, and Teeth, Oh My!
Sheta is asking for donations again, only this time I'm looking for stuff you no longer use or want, or would be willing to part with. I'm going to be doing a bunch of art this summer focused on animal parts. I've been putting this off for a long time. ...

MediaFail: A Truly Awesome Idea
I receive email updates from Free Press, a group concerned with keeping the Internet free, fair, and accessible to everyone. I'm going to save time and paste their latest to me. I strongly encourage reading this because they've come up with a great idea. You might be familiar with FailBlog ...

Since I Don’t Have an Assistant
There's a filtered post, for those who can read it. Okay then. I wanted to provide a general notice and disclaimer about my tardiness and my disorganization level. I just found a comment thread on another blog that underlined the need for me to do this. In that thread it was ...

Ala’s Story Part 5 – Sadness
Another week passed before I could return home to visit again. My back was unbelievably sore. I couldn't raise my arm up over shoulder level without the stiffness getting to me. I had to carefully wear my backpack on the other side. Once I accidentally whacked the sore spot with the ...

Coming Soon
I just wanted to post and let you all know that Alanora telling her story has inspired me, and I'm working on my own, starting from meeting Meridjet. There is much I've never revealed, and I'm giving serious thought to writing the entire thing down. Right now I'm very busy ...

A Long Time Away
I have been away too long. We are well on the mend here, coughing still but out of any danger. Kara is feeling better. Things are returning to normal, though I have a lot of catching up to do, and not just on this blog. I've got writing, editing the ...

Difficulties Continue
We had my daughter back in the emergency room last night because she has steadily gotten worse since leaving the hospital, when she was much better. Her pneumonia is gone, but the allergy situation here (pollen etc) is horrible, ranking "highest possible" every day, so her situation has been exacerbated ...

All is Well
Kara came home from the hospital today. She's got like 7 prescriptions and a breathing treatment apparatus to get her through the next two weeks. Fun times! We also need to make an appointment for a sleep study, so I'll be calling her doctor tomorrow to let them know. But ...

My Daughter is in the Hospital
Just a quick update. We're still sick here, though I'm definitely on the road to recovery. We went back to the ER today because my daughter kept getting sicker. We got there at 2:30 and she was finally admitted to the hospital (for her first overnight stay ever) around 9:30. ...

Time to Refocus
I've had a guest from out of town here for the last week. She left this afternoon, and I've been trying to readjust to the idea of being home with just my daughter again. It's rather like returning from vacation — routines seem strange. While Christina was here, we were ...

Explanations
So much has been going on! I spent a week cleaning in preparation for a termite inspection — morning to night, every day — and then we had to be exterminated, as I knew we would. There were guys here for three days — one day for the inspection, one ...

The forum is ready, as some of you have already discovered based on the fact that this morning I had 3 guests visiting. :)) You can access the forum here until I get the link up on the main page. I'm still tweaking, but feel free to break the ice ...

Forum Coming Very Soon
I've been trying to figure out ways to enhance user experience here at this blog, since I can be wordy and many people want to get straight to the good stuff. I've installed a forum, the same type we have in use (so to speak) on Rending the Veil, but ...

Infinite Potential Award 2010
Back in the day, web awards were a big deal. Not so much anymore, but since I've had this blog I've started to get back into the habit, which I'd left behind during my years on LiveJournal. Last year, I gave out "Blackbird's Favorite Roost" awards (two, I think — ...

Quickly, then, before bed (yeah, it's dawn here)... Thanks to all who voted in my poll. It's been removed now. I appreciate you taking the time. Also, I made a filtered post earlier, if you're inclined to log in and read it. The icon attached to this post (see the blog; it ...

An Introduction of Sorts
I saw this mini survey on LJ, and figured I'd fill it out for those just arriving (as there are a few wandering over from Facebook). Feel free to skip if you already know me. :P 1. Name, age, location. My name is already known to anyone coming to see me, but ...

Wow, Nostalgia
My mood has been all over the place lately. The last couple of hours, I've been damn happy. Mostly lately, I've been blah. I'm savoring this happy time. So I'm working on my book and listening to Winamp. And Rush's "The Trees" comes on, and wow... what a rush. No ...

OMG A Meme
Something I stole from bunney at LiveJournal... Go to Urban Dictionary and look up your real answers to find the crazy answers! 1.) Your name? Julie Sweet and downy haired girl, changable, and often misunderstood and complex. A fearful creature as well as highly loyal. She will rule your affection and once you ...

My friend Susan and I are nearly finished with our Art League Road Kill Chairs contest entry. We're making a dragon chair, and I'll be posting photos after the contest is over on the ... 12th? I think. I'll post work-in-progress photos as well as shots of the competition. I ...

Top 10 Reasons Why the Blog Layout You Created Sucks
Actually, this is really more of a list of reasons why I personally won't use your layout, but that's not as much of an eyegrabber. ;) I composed this list after signing up for Bebo today and going through 50 pages of skins to find some I liked. Adjust according ...

Art Present and Random News
I have a spiffy new header image up at the top of this page. It's a gift from my friend Mats Holmgren, who has a gallery here. Bless his heart, he lets me beg free art from him on a regular basis, and is going to be illustrating a couple ...

Updates – A Waste of Time?
I've been working my ass off on the blog, which is probably very naughty of me since I need to be working on moving Rending the Veil. However, I am justifying this indulgence with the rationale that I'm familiarizing myself with the CMS, of which this blog layout is a ...
