Solstice
Just realized that the summer solstice is just around the corner. I haven't really been keeping up with the spiritual parts of my life in the last couple of years, and really, I never did solidly define what my spirituality is. Neo-pagan is how i identify (when i bother to identify) my spiritual inclination because its enough of a catch all to ( Read more... ) -
Updates
So its been a busy few weeks here. Since my last post I went to chicago and back, continued supporting Al through her brother's wedding drama, and failed to have a vasectomy.

A pleasant surprise
So one of the things I have long bemoaned in my corporate existence has been the fact that I had to take our my earrings. This made me very sad. I always had a great appreciation for the ability to wear body jewelry and make a statement against conformity. But then, in order to get a job, I had to conform, and it has and does feel at times like ( Read more... ) -
A bad year for SF authors
This has not been a good year for SF authors. First Robert Jordan dies, Terry pratchet get Alzheimers, and now Robert Asprin has passed away. I have been reading Asprin's books (the Myth series and Phule books) since i was in high-school. I haven't picked up any of his newer works, but have been thinking of it recently. Its more than a little ( Read more... ) -

Massage
Al and I took the day off together as a sort of couples bonding experience. It was both of our first time getting a professional massage. We just got back, and I have to say that i do not remember the last time i was this relaxed and at peace with the world. It was a 50 minute massage with a combination of deep tissue and softer muscle ( Read more... ) -
Clock watching.
I have another hour and 20 minutes of work. I just turned over what i spend a goodly portion of the week preparing. This is not enough time to actually get something started on a Friday, and everyone else who i might be able to work with to get smaller tasks done appear to have either gone home early or taken the day off. I might be tempted to ( Read more... ) -
Iron Man
So I would just like to recommend Iron man the movie to all and sundry. Now, I should say that I have been an Iron Man fan for a long time. It was, in fact, the only comic book I ever had a subscription to. But having said that, this movie was probably the best super hero movie i have seen in a long long time. I would equate it with the first ( Read more... ) -
Thought I'd share

I thought I'd post the links up her for anyone who is interested, plus one i made for my nephew. I've made other cakes over the past few years, and if anyone has pics of them, please email them to me so i can add them ( Read more... ) -
