A motley crew of fairly recent links to share. The italics are my notes.

So I'm spending way too much time tired right now, despite trying to counteract it however I can, and posting is obviously suffering. I have been posting to Twitter and Tumblr, but that doesn't require near as much brain power. :) As a bonus, my body has kicked over to winter temperature maintenance (regular low-grade fevers with accompanying aches ( Read more... )

Speaking of things that entertain me (we were, trust me): the currently airing Pepsi Max commercial. ( er... spoilers for SPN seasons 3 and 5? )

It's a bit funny when one is jumping between LJ/DW and food blogs. Thanks to TasteSpotting, I run across a lot of content that I wouldn't have otherwise seen since they aggregate from many sources. Seduced in by an interesting recipe header with a pretty photo, I can end up anywhere. The thing is, LJ/DW tends to be kind of homogenizing (when you're ( Read more... )

I would have pictures of starting the tomato and leek seeds but someone made off with the camera this morning. *ignores flist's sigh of relief* They're warming their tootsies under the lights now, but considering the soil is starting at 45 degrees Fahrenheit (7.2 degrees Celsius), they're really not awake yet. In the meantime, I come bearing links ( Read more... )

I'm in windy, snowy northwestern Ohio. I strongly suspect Australia (et al) is laughing itself silly right now. Anyway, because I am unbelievably boring in print lately (it's like the words parade through my head in an actual monotone for the love of pete), and because I've been putting off tagging a bundle of things into Delicious and therefore ( Read more... )

Good news! Well, for us anyway. :P River's eye is finally showing dramatic improvement. She had her fourth vet's visit this morning and Jack went along for moral support. Both were weighed while we were there and River has lost a pound this past week on her 'diet' while Jack has - gasp! - actually managed to gain a pound with all the inactivity. ( Read more... )

I could natter on about how it's the depth of the year and while I'm chipper more often than not, I'm still finding myself in partial hibernation and pretty slow moving but, well, I would just be boring myself. This would all be part and parcel towards explaining why I've been reading shockingly little fic the past week, let alone reccing it ( Read more... )

What has been rambling through my brain the past 24 hours or so.

So I was talking about the reading queue yesterday, eh? Well, there's the official queue, and then there's the stuff since the last tagging catch-up that's laying around in gReader or local bookmarks or whatever. Anyway, I was just thinking to myself that there's a number of ( Read more... )

As usual, I feel like I've been lazing around and accomplished very little today. Somehow, though, lunch/dinner was made (sloppy joes and shells 'n' cheese - fancy stuff), two kinds of cat food were mixed together, pups were fed, 5 qts. of apple pie filling were canned (with pics and more to make up and can tomorrow), dishes were done, litter box ( Read more... )
