What am I reading now? Well, I never got into Buffy the Vampire Slayer myself. I know many people who are quite manic about it, but me -- meh. Vampires don't look or act like that, in my world; then again I'm an old-school Masquerade - Camarilla - Sabbat wonk. I feel especially drawn to ( Read more... )

Here's a bit of a blast from the past. I heard Level 42's "Something About You" on the radio on the way home today, and it put me in a fabulous mood. Never fails to do so.

The song, by the way, was one of "our songs" when I was dating a girl named Sharon. This was way back when I was in college ( Read more... )

The full moon was beautiful last night behind high clouds. I'd wanted to get the camera and set up my tripod, but they were moving so fast as to be gone when I finished. Today is gray and dreary through the window. I like that sort of weather, usually and perversely, but it doesn't suit me too well today. Right outside the window is a busy ( Read more... )

My heart sang today.

It's been doing that a lot recently. But today was ... incredible.

Today was my last full day in sunny Southern California. Well, the latter words, anyway. Yesterday was recovering from my sisters' wedding, see. Today we had nothing to do, so Mom asks me "beach, mountain or desert?" And of course I answered beach, ( Read more... )

There are many singular events in my life that qualify as being "very happy" -- birth of my daughter, of course. The moment of realization that a certain person means a certain something to me -- and having that realization returned. The standard "first intercourse" which I remember in great detail, or the first kiss, which I don't. The first time ( Read more... )

Synchronicity was with me this morning.  Just as I got in my car, Vicarious by Tool came on.  I really like rocking out to this song, as well as a lot of other songs from this album.  I got to work before it was over, but I was early, so I stayed in to finish the song (how many of you do this?).  One of the new guys came out get a jacket from his ( Read more... )

I have just found the most beautiful thing. Well, functional. Ack! I mean comfortableOh hell. It's a mouse. Pointing device. Whatever. Linky later ( Read more... )

I haven't had much to say recently.  Oh, I've had thoughts, mostly when I'm away from the computer.  "Gee, I'd like to write about that," I think, and then *pouf!* by ( Read more... )

Oh ... and I need a copy ofAdobe Creative Suite -- including Photoshop, Illustrator, GoLive and Indesign. For the PC. I've earlier versions of these programs for my mac, but I'm currently using a PC ( Read more... )

I've done it.

I set up my new computer today. I'm using it to write this -- as I install something in the background. So far ... I almost hate to say it, but I'm really pretty happy with it so far. The only thing I don't like about it is that it's not a Mac. And that can't be helped; I can't afford a Mac anyway. See previous entry for ( Read more... )
