So much for that weekly posting thing...
Yeah, I'm not even going to make excuses or dwell on it. Instead, here's what been going on in the past month:
1. Fantasy baseball season has kicked in hard, as it does every February and March. It involves researching players' scouting profiles, looking through statistical abstracts, sorting spreadsheets, making trades in leagues, and in some ( Read more... ) -
All the things
Funny how materialism can sneak into your life when you're not paying much attention. Not that I'm finding myself profoundly deep into a materialistic state right now, it just seems to manifest in different ways, some of them not intentional ( Read more... ) -

Forcing myself to write something here today. It's easy to fall back into old habits, particularly when you research and write a fair amount during the day. I'm also dealing with some brain fog today, a side effect of some medication I took last Thursday. (It's once-a-year; I was worried the symptoms would be horrible for a few weeks, like last ( Read more... ) -
I hope love can trump hate
I meant to post something again before now, but I seem to have gotten distracted with all the Trump administration news as of late. Inaugurated on Friday 20, he, Bannon, and the rest of his administration have managed to destroy all the things. OK, not all of them, but they've been busy planting the seeds of ruin with executive orders of all types ( Read more... ) -
Mornings aren't for everyone
I don't watch anime as much as I used to. But then again, there are a lot of things I used to do that I don't do anymore. Life is change, after all. But I digress ( Read more... ) -
One prompt leads to another
Prompt 1: It started by listening to David Bowie's "I'm Deranged."

Douglas Harper's Online Etymology Dictionary says:
derange (v.)

You can't really tell all that well from this image, but there's still ice clinging to branches out there in the balmy 34F. It's slowly melting off the cars and branches, but there's a chance for more ice in the early hours of tomorrow. This iPhone photo certainly doesn't capture the silvery-white glistening of the ice seen with the naked eye, but ( Read more... ) -
Out with the old, in with the new?
Part of this process of writing here again digs into the underlying issue of needing to write, even when not motivated. Well, today isn't so much lack of motivation as lack of things to say ( Read more... ) -
Talking turkey?
I continue to cohabitate with Eric, largely out of convenience and cost-control. Over the past few years, I feel like I've taken over the freezer (above the fridge) with my stuff, but he's never complained. Still, it was full up, and I wanted to pick up some lamb from Soulard market to freeze, so something had to move out. The turkey got the boot, ( Read more... ) -
Let's do this...
This is still here. I don't know how, but it is. I made a digital archive of it a few months ago, wanting to keep it for reference. It goes back to 2001, for fuck's sake ( Read more... )
