Does it know?
A couple of weeks ago our car's check engine light went on. Greg checked the car, redid some of the fluids but the check engine light stayed on, so I called the local dealership and made an appointment for it to be looked at. I tried not to use the car just in case, and I have to say, I really hate that check engine light ( Read more... ) -
Worst song virus I've had in a while
I was watching shows in the On Demand section of our TV provider's menu. First off was the "CSI" episode "Bump and Grind" followed by "CSI: New York" with the episode "Food for Thought ( Read more... ) -
It's like losing the aunt you always wished you had
I just learned a minute ago that Elisabeth Sladen has died. To say I am stunned and saddened is an understatement. While I never had a chance to actually meet her, she played one of my favorite sci-fi characters of all time: Sarah Jane Smith. I have Sarah Jane audios, DVD's of her original "Doctor Who" appearances and her "Sarah Jane Adventures" ( Read more... ) -

I got an odd phishing e-mail this morning saying that TRION Worlds had noticed I was attempting to sell my RIFT account which violates the terms of agreement and could I please sign in at the link below to verify that I'm not being all naughty and stuff ( Read more... ) -
Strange subject for a picture book...
I was in Barnes & Noble and while cruising down the bargain books table, I saw several stacks of picture books for young children but I zeroed in on one stack of books with the title THE JUNGLEI thought, "Wow. That's not an appropriate subject for a picture book! I can't imagine how they're going to draw the piles of meat with rat poo or the ( Read more... ) -

I was in Pinkabella Cupcakes in Redmond today to get some dessert for tonight. As I walked in, I was greeted with the scent of buttercream and fresh-baked goodness as well as some music playing softly in the background ( Read more... ) -
Sudoku causes the end of the world
I was poking around Nikoli's website to see what they charged for their puzzle subscription. You see, sometimes, you just want to do a Yaijin puzzle on-line, you know what I mean, and where else do you go but the Japanese publisher who put Sudoku on the map all these years ago ( Read more... ) -
My search for Savage
I went into the Redmond Borders today looking for It Gets Better by Dan Savage and Terry Miller. After looking on the new release table and then the new non-fiction shelf, I went to the info desk. I mean, considering it's on the New York Times Bestseller list, one would think it'd be somewhere easily discovered ( Read more... ) -
Wish my eyes had been open for this one
Last night, Greg and I were watching "Marcel's Quantum Kitchen" on Syfy while winding down the day. Well, Greg was watching, I was tired so I was half asleep, head on the pillow and eyes closed.
That's when I heard someone on the television say, "I'm makin' love to this meat log!"
Greg and I both started laughing. -
(Untitled)
A piano solo is playing.
No other instruments,
just two hands and a minor key.
I feel the music

I know this feeling.

part of me away with it
as it floats past.
