A great Kid Night last night, which I'll come back to in a moment. And it's a beautiful, sunny, warm, green day out there (wide carnivorous sky or no), and I'm sitting here - we'll come back to that in a moment. I woke this morning at 8:30, after getting to sleep at 3 ayem. I dozed off watching Rodan (1956) on the iPad. And then I woke from a very ( Read more... )

I do adore waking up and immediately discovering that the world is even more angrifying than when I went to sleep. Wait, no. That's not right. I don't find things worse upon waking. I'm not that goddamn naïve. I wake up, look at CNN.com, and get a face full of humanity. Which really puts the fault on me for looking, as humanity cannot be expected ( Read more... )

The weather is grinding me down. Day after day after day now of rain and overcast skies, highs in the fifties Fahrenheit, sixty if we're lucky. Outside it's green, but I cannot summon the energy to step out into the dank and wet and chill. And this is May? I haven't been outside since Monday, but tonight is Kindernacht, and I'll go out with Spooky ( Read more... )

Please comment.

Vulcans. You know, because they have green blood. Because it's copper-based, and oxidizes green, instead of being iron-based and oxidizing red. And today is St. Patrick's Day. And I'm a dork. And...oh, never mind. Bad dreamsickness this ayem, but now I'm only manic, which is a vast fucking improvement ( Read more... )

It's been a while since I've done an ayem blog entry, but here's one. Why the hell not. The world's back on Caitlín Standard Time, meaning I'm no longer early for everything, and I figure an anti-celebration is in order.

1. I'm at sixes and sevens over the fact that Sirenia Digest #75 has been ready to be PDFed and emailed since March 4th (!), yet ( Read more... )

A couple of things I wish to draw your attention to:

1) The next round of eBay auctions to pay Spooky's mom back for the loan to buy the new IMac (Mithrien, though I may change her name to Lúthien). New goodies up now, including the original keyboard from my last iMac (!!!!), on which I wrote everything I wrote for five years. What could be more ( Read more... )

Almost two hours ago (more now), I woke from strange dreams of Florida. I dream of Florida much more often since Kathryn and I visited Jacksonville back in January 2004. That trip, we went to be near the sea and find all the places where I'd lived as a child and to collect Pliocene fossils on Neptune Beach (bits of bone, along with the teeth of ( Read more... )

But I won’t follow you into the rabbit hole.

Yes. I am on a Kate Bush kick.

It's a beautiful autumn-summer day out there, sunny and blue skies, the temperature at 70F. Nice. Have to get Outside today. Getting out of the house is mandatory on a day like this. I'm doing a good job, actually, of not keeping myself cooped up.

At 4 a.m., not sleeping (despite the meds), I was on Rift talking ( Read more... )

I think I was actually a little disappointed to awake and discover it looks like we're still stuck with the 2.9% of the earth's human population (200 million/3.9 billion) that Harold Camping promised we'd be rid of come 6 p.m. local time (which it is now long past in much of the world, ergo...). I am left with a question for Camping, though. Given ( Read more... )
