Do you happen to have a pair of birds that are… just friendly?

Me: Ooh, Hitchcock’s The Birds is on…
Him: I hate that movie.
Me: Haha, I know!
Him: Fucking black birds… crows… whatever they are!
Me: All kinds of birds…
Me: PECKING YOU
Me: PECKING YOU TO DEATH
Him: Exactly.

Moving In

We got moved in over the weekend without too much drama and I’m back online. It will take a while to sort everything out, and there are a few things that need to be adjusted or fixed, but overall I’m pleased. Kerby seems happier and more interested in everything than he has been for […]

Moving On

Although rare, occasionally things come together more easily than you planned. I found a new apartment that takes large dogs in a decent enough neighborhood! It’s a 2nd floor two bedroom in an old Victorian building downtown, with hardwood floors and a back porch. No fireplace, unfortunately, but the price was right. It’s also not […]

Maybe the apocalypse IS just around the corner…

Seems like it’s just one natural disaster after another these days. Life is so fragile and temporal…

Neighbor Get Your Gun

Smyrna must be the trailer park area of Delaware. This is too good to miss: Mayor, councilman feud flares again. Here’s an excerpt:
SMYRNA — Councilman Patrick Cahill and his wife, Julie, have been arrested by town police and charged with making terroristic threats after a Thursday shouting match with Mayor Mark Schaeffer and his family.
And […]

Autumn is a second spring when every leaf is a flower. [Albert Camus]
Delicious autumn! My very soul is wedded to it, and if I were a bird I would fly about the earth seeking the successive autumns. [George Eliot]

Unexpected Insights

Published October 2nd, 2005 in In My Life. 4 Comments

I had a moment of unexpected insight a little while ago after receiving some less than good news about a frustrating situation. I got angry briefly, then went to have a good cry because no one that I could confide in (dump on, rant to) was available. Suddenly there was a knock on the […]

About This Blog

Just another personal blog, wherein I bore you with what I've recently watched, listened to, read, digested, contemplated, observed, and experienced, and how cool it would be if I were anything like the person you think I am. I'm a beautiful and unique snowflake, just like everybody else.

  • Faster, Paris! Kill! Kill!

    TCM showed a couple of cult film classics from 1965 tonight, Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill! and Mudhoney. One of the female leads in the latter bears a striking resemblance to Paris Hilton. I could picture her in a remake along with Nicole Ritchie, although neither is voluptuous enough for a Russ Meyer flick! #


  • I am not a spammer!

    I've been getting a lot of bounce back emails over the past few days. It appears that nyominx.com is getting joe jobbed—someone is sending out spam and putting fake email addresses with my domain in the "From" field. To top it off, I'm getting the same spam messages coming from other domains who I assume are also getting joe jobbed! The worst part is that there's really nothing I can do about it except complain and assure you that it's not originating from me. #


  • My current header image...

    ...is an homage to The Greatest Nancy Panel Ever Drawn. Marginally related: I was feverishly sick once while quite young and, so sick that I was hallucinating... At the foot of my bed, a tiny Nancy was chasing a tiny Sluggo (or maybe Sluggo was chasing Nancy, it's been so long I can't remember now) across my blanket with a stick, intent on giving a serious beating. I screamed, and my parents came running, but I never could really quite explain to them what had terrified me. #


  • Grrrrrrrr

    I updated my obligatory "this is my dog" page, now including a short sound clip (video soon to follow, hopefully). #
