I think I've said it before, but Christmas when you're a grown-up sure is a lot of work. I don't mean that in a bad way. I'm certainly not griping. It's just that before this year I don't think I really appreciated just how much work it is. M. and I cooked and cleaned non-stop both yesterday and today, just to have a handful of guests over. This is ( Read more... )

No update since Thanksgiving. I'm losing my touch. Truthfully, I haven't had the slightest interest in blogging lately. In the past even when I've lost the motivation I've never lost the interest. Now all that's changed ( Read more... )

This Thanksgiving I am thankful that I live in America where we have American Christmas. That is to say, we pretty much just buy gifts, get fat, watch sappy movies, and do it all in one tidy package on December 25th where we try to forget there are things like darkness and evil in the world ( Read more... )

But if the snow we got Saturday night continues to hold out it will be a white Christmas, which I haven't ( Read more... )

Happy Solstice everyone. Since I've been on a power metal kick the last few days I want to take a moment to remind everyone of the true meaning of the season, which is of course to LIFT YOUR SWORD ON HIGH AND DIE IN GLORIOUS BATTLE!!! Since the Vikings invented Christmas, this is appropriate ( Read more... )

Spending two hours shopping this time of year feels like a twelve-hour ordeal. Why do all the places I like to go to shop have to be congested at the best of times? I hate congested streets. Give me wide stretches of open highway any day. That's the small town Kansas boy in me for ya ( Read more... )

I just realized something cool... I made my New Year's resolution for this year! My resolution was "get my novel published." Granted, I was thinking of Fool's Game at the time and not Apocalypse Woman, which at the time was not even finished. But still, I don't think I mentioned a title in the resolution so it counts.
