Where the Walls are Soft…

Insomnia by Cat He was wonderful company for the last few years. I’m really going to miss him…I took this video in May, when Sheikh was still sleeping above my head. Not very long ago, he was his usual fat and fluffy self, but then became boney and light as air in a [...]

Out-Numbered and Surrounded… This video was taken in Clergue Park almost three years ago. Those of you familiar with the visage of The Evil Hypnotist as a teen may enjoy the journey back. She was not quite 12 when she was nearly eaten by these monsters. And yes. I sic’ed them on her. [...]

The Melt DownTaken March 15, 2009 with Canon PowerShot A550 I did the only thing I could think of to do, which was shriek for Kyla to come.So the other night, in the middle of one of The Evil Hypnotist’s dark, white nights, which, incidentally, turned into one of my own, I sat straight up [...]

Birds on a WireTaken March 15, 2009 with Canon PowerShot A550 I will find him, though… I know what barstool he sits on.In the movie, “Blow”, George’s dad tells him that money isn’t real. “It doesn’t matter, Georgie…” My dad would have disagreed with that one. I sure as hell disagree with that [...]

R.I.P. Bea Arthur1922-2009 This upsets me to no end. It also upsets me to realize that she was gone for a week before I read the news…

On GuardTaken August 9, 2008 with Canon PowerShot A550 He can be a real arse at times, and no one has ever had to point that out to my child.I’ll be using a lot less of my little stepper machine in future, I think… Since I bought the Prissy-Van, “Walking-About” has declined to “walking across the [...]

Is It, or Isn’t It…?Taken November 7, 2008 with Canon PowerShot A550 I look around as nonchalantly as is possible when one comes across what might be seriously illegal ziploc baggie-filler in the middle of the night at one’s place of employ-ment, with Han Solo’s voice running through my head: “I don’t know!

What – Me? Procrastinate?! …we didn’t drop the ball. It’s more like we just lobbed it back and forth until it went over the fence and got lost in the tall weeds.Remember this!? Oh, yeah, that! I remember that! Now. I posted it on February 11th. Ahem…* I don’t [...]

Now, the bill is causing an ulcer.Taken February 17, 2008 with Canon PowerShot A550 It’s hard to tell if her phone is ringing, or if the stereo is set to Auto-On.As a former “Smother Mother”, placing a cell phone in my daughter’s hands relieved some of the “she will surely be kidnapped/assaulted/raped/arrested or otherwise end [...]

“Ouch!”Taken February 9, 2008 with Canon PowerShot A550 Guess who ain’t gettin’ a tattoo for her birthday?She swore she wouldn’t. Pinky-swore,even. It looks like hell, doesn’t it? I told her it looked like it was infected already, and she said, “Yeah, but only a little infected.” She’s been after me for over two years to [...]

It’s been a BAD day.

Lost in Translation? And then somebody reminds me that our local steel industry has been bought out.Okay, I’m having trouble following… I’m unemployed. The last thing I want is to have to go back to retail. Well, no, actually, the last thing I want is to have to go back to [...]

Look Who Showed Up at the J.O.B. I only know that every once in awhile, after an alarm has gone off, I slowly begin to realize that I no longer see a face that I’ve grown accustomed to passing in the hall. Hmmmm.This little guy came screaming across the parking lot this morning, begging [...]

Nasty. Horrible. Crappy. StressFULL. Crappy. Stupid. Endless. Tear-i-fying. CRAPPY. More crappy. I have not had this bad a day – start to finish – in such an incredibly long time that I can’t recall having had this bad a day in… I don’t even care, but I’ll bet it was a Wednesday. Wednesdays suck. Today felt like [...]
