Many words about nothing which is actually something
Today's plan was to do a bit of eat-later cooking then head outside to transplant the vegetable seedling I raised from seeds. Good plan, that. The problem is the sky just opened up, the rain came down almost as if someone opened a sprinkler above Acadia House and now I have to regroup and punt. ( John Lennon was right, life is what happens while you're busy making plans ) -
The Me Manifesto
I'm not a very good fan.
I'm really not and I suppose I should send this to the fifteen or so bands trying to friend me on MySpace every week. Yeah, I have a lot of musicians in my friends' list but if you're looking for slavish OMGTHISISTHEBEST(fill in the blank)EVERTHERECANBENOOTHER fans...you're not looking at me. ( Musings from a not very fannish fan follow ) -
What I'm not eating for breakfast & why it matters
Some mornings are made for Southern breakfasts, piles of eggs and biscuits and pork products...did you know there are all different kinds of bacon from different parts of the pig? Grits if they're well made (hint: they're not supposed to be too gritty) and breakfast potatoes OM NOM NOM NOM NOM and sauteed vegetables ( Read more... ) -
Why I don't watch CNN
The title of this piece is honestly a little less than 100% "transparent" a word I have come to loathe in no small part BECAUSE of CNN.

I recognize that I'm doomed to failure because there are going to be words which must be read in this piece. Reading, like thinking, does not seem to be a strong point with the targets of my comments.
To the Tea Party:( I think I blew the whole short words and sentences thing early on ) -
Epic rant
I woke up this morning still channelling a goddess. Scathach. If everything living in this house is still living come dusk it will be an authentic miracle. Then I'm moving to the outside world. ( This is the mother and father of all rants and if you're offended you know which part of me you can kiss ) -

Was going to be homey, now is Floydish
It is gloomish, cold and raining here. I have not yet succumbed to the temptation of listening to Pink Floyd's The Wall which is where I go during that 'abandon hope all ye breathing creatures' mood ( Read more... ) -
Peace at a reasonable price
One good thing about moving to Acadia; the dogs are much quieter now. ( Barking dogs may never bite but they will drive you to distraction )
