The newest hatchlings are ... are doing tai chi. I don't know how he did it, but apparently Jonah *did* manage to influence them in the shell. Amazing. However, the other hatchlings are unaffected by his antics ( Read more... )

Getting worried about some of the eggs we picked up at the fair, wondering if the trip here might have addled them ( Read more... )

Jonah wants to shave his head and get it tattooed with a blue arrow. I've tried to tell him that that wouldn't go over well around here, but now he thinks he wants to follow the warrior-monks back to Cathay and study their ways. Apparently, in order to do this, you have to shave your head and mark it with a blue arrow. I guess that's to prove ( Read more... )

He got hold of some of the books of Angelica, Lady Cottington and ... and came up with a scheme to exploit the fey for his own profit. He's been ... this is horrible. I couldn't believe it when I finally saw ( Read more... )

Two of the most recent eggs hatched out kangaroos. Prehistoric kangaroos with massive claws. What I want to know is ... how did this happen?

Jonah's out fooling around with something. He came home from the picnic the other day and was out again immediately. I think he's only come home to sleep and I won't swear to that.

Wouldn't ya know it. I've been running all over creation trying to figure out who has been stealing the flower fairies of the Valley and getting nowhere. Mgr Ki forces me to take a day off for a picnic (of all things) and up he pops! Literally ( Read more... )

Got hit by a bad allergic reaction today - can barely see to type (or read, which is even worse). But still, here be dragons.
