On the Next Couple of Days
I’m about to crash. First, I’m bloody tired. Second, I’m leaving before dawn for North Carolina. I need the sleep. Two friends of mine are getting married on the beach tomorrow. It’s going to be grand. 🙂 Then, on Sunday I’ll be in Raleigh, seeing my sister and my niece. And yes, I do haveContinue reading “On the Next Couple of Days”
On Communications Woes
My computer has been mostly dead all day, and a little headshake won’t make it happy. Four years ago, a lightning strike while I was at work fried the motherboard’s comm bus. The onboard modem was a total loss, and I’m pretty sure the network port was a goner, too. I installed a PCI modemContinue reading “On Communications Woes”
On This Morning’s Writing
While I’ve talked a bit about “THOD” the past few weeks, except for this snatch of dialogue, I’ve not really offered much insight at all into what I’m writing. Except that “THOD” is not actually the title, one of the main characters goes by Freddy, the story spans twenty-five years, that sort of thing. OverContinue reading “On This Morning’s Writing”
On Twisted Presents
I have a niece. She just turned six months. I am really thinking about getting her a Care Cthulhu. Yes, I know that’s not the proper name for it. But it looks like a Care Bear!
On the Mop
Saturday was a rough day with my grandmother. However, I’ve not told the story of Saturday night. As mentioned previously, I went to Big Lots Saturday night, for no particular reason except that I could. And there’s a liquor store in that shopping center, and since I had no beer in the refrigerator, I couldContinue reading “On the Mop”
On Anticipation
After several weeks of ambivalence, this weekend I really started looking forward to Shore Leave. You know what it was? It was taking a look at the website, reading my duff biography, and writing out a new one. And then seeing some of the other people who are going to be there. People that IContinue reading “On Anticipation”
On Things Accomplished
I stopped at Big Lots last night. There was no particular reason, I just hadn’t been to Big Lots in a while. Ultimately, I bought a DVD — La Femme Musketeer, which was a made-for-television sequel to The Three Musketeers, centered on the daughter of d’Artagnan. (d’Artagnan is played by Michael York, reprising his roleContinue reading “On Things Accomplished”
On Starship Musings
Nothing reminds you how truly butt-fugly the Enterprise-D was than to see it drawn manga-style in the new Star Trek: The Next Generation manga.
On the Desktop Theme Meme
Stolen from Paul Gadzikowski: 01. Anyone who looks at this entry has to post this meme and their current wallpaper at their livejournal. My current wallpaper. 02. Explain in five sentences why you’re using that wallpaper! Karen Gillan. Scottish. Redhead. Super attractive. I fancy her. 03. Don’t change your wallpaper before doing this! The pointContinue reading “On the Desktop Theme Meme”
