You asked for it

Ohhhh, the paaaaain! At the urging of , I’ll subject you all to some poetry from my high school notebook. *blushes* I’m more inclined to share the essay on Death of a Salesman that my teacher liked so much, but that wouldn’t be nearly so interesting, I suppose. Without further ado, behold what a cheeseball … Read more

Newly discovered cat toy

Mini marshmallows. Renewable source. Non-messy, since they like to eat them. Marshmallows aren’t bad for cats, are they? (I mean, one at a time, not a lot at once, expanding in their little tummies…)

Frequently Asked Questions

I got an email today that made me realize that I really do get asked a number of questions that would be best served to answer in public, as I get these questions periodically in various permutations. So, I’m starting an infrequent series today I’ll be labelling in the tags as FAQs. Here we go … Read more

Sadly lacking in the content

Sorry, been rather busy lately and haven’t updated much. Hope all your Thanksgivings were wonderful. Mine was nicely relaxing, and I didn’t do a stitch of work the whole weekend. And now it’s been a crazy week this week. If you’ve seen the news about the snowstorm in Seattle, that’s one thing that’s been going … Read more

Truth is…

I just got back from watching the new Will Ferrell movie Stranger Than Fiction with a friend. What a GREAT show! I like Will Ferrell about half the time–he’s a good comedian, but I don’t go for over-the-top humor. I liked Bewitched and Elf, though, and with the premise of the story being what it … Read more

So I’m working from home today, and now I’m taking a little lunch break and pondering my ballot (which I really need to fill out and send off), and for some reason I got to looking at ‘s journal, and it brought back some fun memories from this summer. Mostly, it was this entry that … Read more

Rain, rain, go away

That’s all. Just go away. Oh, give me three feet of snow and the knowledge that it’s truly winter (and thus, all the mold is DEAD! ha!) over this ocean dumping on my head any day. At least with snow you’re not as likely to be soaked through while still outside. Sure, it’ll melt on … Read more

As promised..

Pictures! Well, this is part 1 of 2, but part 2 may come anytime between now and Christmas, depending on when I get the film developed. Me, as Eowyn. Note my “short sword” (okay, a dagger) on the wrong side, of course, ready to slay a Nazgul. I love my job. We have such fun.

Halloween at work

Halloween could be said to be the most anticipated day of the year for employees here. Many people dress up, and there’s a company party. Today R.A. Salvatore dropped in and signed some books. But the highlight of the day, I think, was that three guys dressed up as Vanilla Ice and the V.I.P. Posse. … Read more
