Beltane Film
OK, first of all, the drunken revelers at Belltane Saturday night left the front doors open and our cat, Buck, got out. He was pretty much beyond reach until we stepped out the front door yesterday at dusk just in time to see a small black and white blur being chased, I'm not making this up, by a lovely Grey Fox!!! Textile Tart and I chased the Fox ( Read more... ) -
I'm always doing this...
I started commenting on Dreda's recent thread about gun control and the Virgina Tech shootings and it got to being too long for the comments page... so I'll just put it here ( Read more... ) -

My Shameless Eliteism
OK, I am about to reveal that I am an ‘avid’ fisherman. (Ok why is it always ‘avid’ for fishermen. Sorta like ‘staunch’ for Republicans. “He is a staunch republican.” I read somewhere in reference to some damn hollywood actor, it think it was Bruce Willis. What does staunch mean anyway? Would anyone really want to be staunch? “Stiff necked, ( Read more... ) -
Craptastic
Ok, so I'm just going to cut my losses and call this a crap week, OK? But, having never been one to take that sort of thing lying down I went into the bustling metropolis of Torrington CT. today. (For those of you that don't know, Polyhymnia and I are in Connecticut this week, at the home of Poly's Dad the maverick cellist D. Darling.) The main ( Read more... ) -

In fact, if I had shown any aptitude whatsoever for computer modeling or quantitative analysis I might have tried to become a meteorologist. I love the fact that meteorology is science, hard ( Read more... ) -
Apparently it's almond
According to Jess the magical soap is almond flavored, er smelling. Hmmmm, I would have thought I'd recognize almond. I'd have expected something much more exotic like Mystical Himalayan Boabab Blossom or Dusky Tasmanian Mangos.
How about, Hottentot Almond Soufflé then? -
Soap
As many of you already know, t-tart is a maker of soap (in addition to many other fine products), and a few weeks back she gave us several cakes of her finest private reserve soap. This morning I started using the brown nubbly soap with bits of nuts and twigs and berries in it and while this is one of the most unsoap-like bars of soap I have ever ( Read more... ) -
Oook
Having the same birthday as Julius Ceasar (at least according to some astrology book's and website's famous-people-born-on-your-birthday lists) I have never been very comfortable with the ides of March. And in the spirit of this anti-holiday I woke up at 3:00AM and took a lovely tour of every last bit of inter-zone from the back 40 to main street. ( Read more... )
