Trees
Today the tree people came and cut down the poplars. One of them was taller than the house. A black squirrel had been chased up the tree by a cat, and when strangers came with chainsaws, it decided to climb higher. After realizing there was no where else to go, it launched itself towards the maple, sailed right through the branches, landed in the ( Read more... ) -
Learning Curve
Well, that was silly. Thank you to phillip2637 for pointing out that I had comments disabled. They are now enabled. Duh! -
LOTR
Last night technogeek1 and I went to see the musical "Lord of the Rings". While it wasn't all that I had hoped for, I'm glad we had a chance to see it before it closes. The staging was wonderful, and the special effects amazing (especially the balrog!). The actor who plays Gollum receives more applause than anyone else - and it is richly deserved.

Recording
I've been searching for a while for a nice little recorder to take to coventions. I miss my little tape deck - but it just doesn't really do the trick any more.

One of my favourites is Wearable Art - where we have spent far too much money and ( Read more... ) -

The Birds and the Bees
We have our second nest of baby swallows this year - we counted 3 little heads (mouths wide open - chirping for food) - and I think I saw one other at the back ducking down. So THATS what they mean when they talk about the birds and the bees... -
Filking from C to C
Further on the questions about a filkzine, I'm working towards starting an eletter (building to a paperzine)... So be warned, I may be asking a few of you if you would mind contributing on occasion (nothing big, mind you ). More to come... -

As some of you know, I have published a filkzine in the past. My intention was always to make this a regular zine - i.e. once a month, or 10 times a year, or even once quarterly. That didn't happen, for several reasons ( Read more... )
