Wow. I feel like I've just emerged from a cocoon or something - well, almost emerged - kind of blinking at the light.

So con_txt is over, and I'm still alive. For a while I wasn't sure I'd make it ( Read more... )

Had to trailer both Bodie and Griggs down to the Special Farrier today (their regular farrier comes to them, but Griggs has been going to this specialist regularly for some corrective work, and it's worked miracles for him; for Bodie it was just to check to see how last summer's hoof crack is doing). It's a long drive - 60 miles each way, about an ( Read more... )

Quick post - well, as quick as it's possible for me to be! :-) - because I really, really, really don't want to fall out of the habit... When I'm not at my computer, I think of things that I want to post about, but when I'm here, it never seems to happen. I think it's because I feel like I have to write something significant. (And I generally am ( Read more... )

No one tagged me :sob:, but I wanted to do this anyway, because...it seems to me that it's good to think about happiness.

( Ten (recent) things that make me happy )

It's funny how I think about Pros all the time, but so seldom post about it! It occurred to me I could actually write some of those thoughts down. *g*

I read a story recently that I cannot get out of my head - it's haunting me, in the way that stories sometimes do. But it's so unexpected in this case because it isn't a slash story. To put that ( Read more... )

I feel so pathetically out of touch, and there are so many things I want to post about, but I feel so out of the habit...inertia is a horrible thing. I know I owe many emails, too. I've been working on con_txt stuff (go sign up for the next con.txt - it'll be fun!) and Close Quarters stuff (yes, there will be a next CQ, and I'm going to announce it soon ( Read more... )

Never Far Apart is now available for ordering! Or actually, pre-ordering; printing is in progress, but zines won't be ready and shipment won't begin until probably mid-May or so ( Read more... )

Okay, I've waffled long enough - it's time to just do it.

I've been working on a big project for the past, oh, year plus. Some of you know about it, but I haven't talked publicly about it - I've wanted to wait until it was far enough along. Now it is; all the pieces are in my grubby little hands and the process is this close to finished. So ( Read more... )

No, not Day 6 yet... But since I liked Day 5 so much, I figured I'd go ahead and put up some more pretty pictures - namely, a scorching little series from In the Public Interest that I somehow overlooked yesterday in my zeal to post...

Here's a taste:

I think I've had enough of words for the moment; now it's time for some pretty pictures! So today is all about the hotness that is Bodie and Doyle in their shoulder holsters. There's just something about those leather straps and what they represent - competence, physicality, aggression, masculinity (I don't know, they just seem masculine to me ( Read more... )
