This Guy Died, Except He Didn’t
Occasionally, things in my life happen twice. It's an anomaly I'm still trying to figure out. (Edit: This one turned out to be simply mistaken identity, which is a relief. It usually isn't so simple to solve.) It first happened in the 1980s when a favorite actor, Will Sampson, died ...

In Which I Rant
The New York Times today reports (among content about the new health care bill and the release of the names of those killed at Fort Hood) that "There are just over 100 people in the world serving sentences of life without parole for crimes they committed as juveniles in which ...

English Language FAIL
I've been combing the thesaurus and the dictionary for a synonym for "experience" (verb form). Did you know that, unless you have a very specific experience in mind (e.g. "feel" or "imagine" or "meet," et al), there isn't a good substitute? I need an adjective adverb form of "experience," ending ...

My Blog is, Firstly, For Me
An article in the NYTimes online today attempts to determine why people blog when they should be doing things like "homework and swim practice, or perhaps even housework and parenting." Their determination is that bloggers assume that just the act of starting a blog will provide an instant audience, followed ...

Kitties Rule, Except For That Awful Smell
Hey folks, long time no anything! I thought you might like to see a couple of pictures of the new kittens, who are 8 weeks and 1 day old. We have four, all males, and they've officially entered the cute overload stage. They do little hopping attacks and leaps, graceful ...

Speechless, Are We?
The email issue appears to be fixed. I know I shouldn't be surprised that no one commented on my Valentine's post after clamoring for it, but I am. It irks me, because it was difficult for me to put myself out there like that. I haven't decided yet how I'll deal ...

I Try to Keep an Open Mind
...but sometimes I just get pissed off. The link leads to a Christian woman's blog who has a post on how "the ban on gay marriage slows the erosion of family." What. the. bleeding. fuck. I continue to be amazed at how anyone anywhere can believe that what another person ...

Something Weird
For several months, I've been seeing far more than the usual number of shadowy movements seen from the corner of my eye. They are growing in realism and frequency, and in the past two days I've seen at least a dozen out of the corner of my left eye (none ...

A Message of Import
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 ...

What Is WITH The Spiders?
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 ...

Weird Feelings
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 ...

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 ...

WTF is the Blog Awards Challenge?
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, ...
