Shamsen, swords and mad knockers... oh my!
I was going to start this post off by apologizing for the length of time it has been since I posted. As usual, I have been too busy living life to actually write much about it. But then I realized that was kind of silly. You see, to me, writing is an addiction; it is something that I have to do from time to time or go nuts... even more nuts than ( Read more... ) -
a bit of time, a bit of money, and bits of dead things... who could ask for more!?
Well, things have finally calmed down to a dull roar at work. While we are still shipping out amazing quantities of plumbing parts and supplies... most of them are now going to our regular customers ( Lowe's, Ace hardware and such) rather than straight to Japan. And while our work-place is still offering as much overtime as anyone can take, they no ( Read more... ) -
Wanting to swim in the Lethe, but floating down the Akheron instead.
**Warning! This post may contain some Dragon Age II spoilers, but I am too lazy and depressed to put it behind a cut, so deal ( Read more... ) -
The Universe at your finger tips... just be careful of which finger you use!
So, if you have been following this journal for any time, you know that I have been pretty down, depressed, low-energy for the past few months/years. I continue to try to get myself out of the slump I'm in, with varying degrees of success. But the universe, as usual, seems to try to thwart my plans ( Read more... ) -

Metallic rantings
OK, this winter is getting old. It has been a physically wearing winter, what with all the ice chipping and snow shoveling, unfreezing of pipes and such... but that is winter in N.H. And every time I start to get cranky about it, I think to myself “It could be worse, you could still be in Minnesota ( Read more... ) -

That time of this month... lacking only in Krampus.
This Christmas was actually a really good one for me. I did all my shopping on line, so did not even have to set foot in a store once! My ancestors may have been consummate raiders and pillagers, but that does not mean I am willing to partake of the Black Friday madness! The only time I actually went out to physically get a present, was went I ( Read more... ) -
Stray Dreams
So, as anyone who knows me, or has read my journal entry about my evening with a drunk Russian stripper knows... I take in strays. Most of the time, these strays are animals... feral cats, shelter dogs, snakes abandoned by their owners, etc. etc. On rare occasions however, these strays are human ( Read more... ) -
Late nights with amazing young women, and my homicidal iPod.
Late nights with amazing young women and my homicidal iPod.
So, on Tuesday last week, I got out of work, went home to change cloths and then jetted over to Joanne's place, because her, her 8 year old daughter Riley and I were going to see the Dresden Dolls in concert down in Boston. Yup, a long drive, a late concert and a long drive back; on a ( Read more... )
