Today's Teefury offering is practically a must for fans of the Eleventh Doctor. The only thing missing is a bow tie.

Order promptly; Teefury shirts are only available for 24 hours.

I think I had one or two interesting dreams last night, or maybe the night before. Last night, there was certainly an engrossing, confusing dream that may have also been the interesting one, but I doubt it.

Yesterday was also very busy. I won't try to drive back from Barre on an hour's nap and single can of Pepsi again. I turned off the interstate ( Read more... )

Daryl Joyce has done some very nice illustrations for Doctor Who.

I went home early on Monday, as I had a tickle developing in the back of my throat. It's developed into congestion, coughing, tiredness and all that jazz.

This morning I woke up feeling the worse yet, so I'm hoping that means I'm peaking -- nadiring? I'd really like to start feeling better soon.

In the meantime, I've had an informal Kolchak: The ( Read more... )

We camped at Smuggers' Notch this weekend -- and I climbed a mountain.

A couple years ago, I talked with a former professor. On mentioning how easily blocked I become writing a story, she told me, "The character's going have to fall off the rock," in reference to a particular situation. "You decide what happens next."

I'm feeling that strongly these days. This cartoon in particular characterizes my state of mind.

Sifting through old papers, I found a cache of reproductions from a fine arts class study guide. Highlights include Night Hawks, Portrait of a Madman (Assassin or Kleptomaniac), The Night Cafe, and Polar Ice (The Frozen Sea).

The Salmonbot appears to have metamorphosed again. This time, it seems to be using ICQ accounts as a mask, as I got two separate instances in ten minutes. And I wonder if the bot switches out parts of sentences for ye olde English, as in a chat transcript I found on themissinghat .

The command $optout appeared to work, so I'm thinking this really is a descendant ( Read more... )

Trudging up to work this morning as I do, I came to my usual right hand turn onto South Union St. A flicker blue button down shirt at the corner of my eye and rushing wind was all the warning I had of the idiot recklessly careening along the sidewalk on a bicycle. He successfully swerved around me, while I mostly just spun in place tracking the ( Read more... )

I overheard a bit of small town life this evening.

Having a snack at Barre Dogs, I watch a man walk in to use the bathroom. He mentions going to the movies to see The Sorcerer's Apprentice. The proprietress expresses surprise.

"Well," he replies, "I already saw Twilight."

Barre's a two screen town, I knew that fact, but the reality of what it meant ( Read more... )
