Twin Peaks...I don't even....this is show is satire, right?
Twin Peaks is kinda awful and kinda brilliant, and I am watching it compulsively. The show is so surreal that it is sliding into my everyday world. Yesterday I had this conversation with with the significant other:
Me: So...you fell asleep...and they shot Waldo!
Ryan: What? They shot Waldo!
Me: Yup. Assassinated him.
Ryan: They shot the myna bird? That ( Read more... ) -

Yay! I am pretty sure I saw my first nuthatch in SoLo today. I've only seen sparrows, jays, chickadees, starlings and cardinals, so it's exciting. Last year I saw an oriole and an American goldfinch. Once, while I was visiting my pappa, I saw an Eastern bluebird, which are really rare in Ohio because of the shift from pastures and orchards to big ( Read more... ) -

Watched the movie adaptation of Terry Pratchett's Going Postal last night. I have not read that particular Discworld book so can't comment on if it was a successful adaptation or not, although I found it to be an entertaining movie.
HOWEVER, I am mentioning this because David Suchet played a bad guy! With long manlocks...and an eye patch. And I am ( Read more... ) -
Oh Ohio
Put in my last row of peas, some spinach, chives, and some lettuce yesterday. As I was forking over the last shovel full of dirt onto the newly transplanted gooseberries...it started to snow.

The significant other told me that if I were a prehistoric critter, I'd be a wiwaxia. I am sure he meant it as a good thing, I THINK, but I still had no sassy comeback for being compared to a weird ancient sea critter. So I called him an opabinia and told him he could go back to the Cambrian...which makes me sound more informed than I really am, ( Read more... ) -

It is probably too late to plant my sugar snap peas, but I will anyways. It's going to thunder storm on and off for the next three days here in NE Ohio, but then it looks like it will have a span of good, clear days, so that means time to till and turn up earth ( Read more... ) -

I just read the The Earl and the Fairy by Ayuko.
I thought it was pretty good, but am increasingly made uncomfortable my scenes in which women are grabbed/touched by men and then continue the threatening/invasive behavior even after they are asked to stop.
BUT, Ermine:
Kickass ladies in Victorian men's dress, why yes, I will take some of that:
