Happy Chinese New Year! Technically, New Year's Day was on the 26th, but it lasts for two weeks until the Lantern Festival on February 9th. Things are looking up, though to make sure, I'm hosting a small Chinese New Year celebration; it will be good luck ( Read more... ) -
Obama Drinking Game
I had an absolutely lovely time at girlie47 and safetypup's place yesterday. We watched the inauguration, had plenty of wine and champagne, and enjoyed a "fine selection" of videos from You Tube. And the company was wonderful, including Her Every So Wonderfulness Herself, skkyechanWhen watching the speech, I admit to being teary-eyed. In my defense, a rather sad event had ( Read more... ) -

Someone put me out of my misery. This is unbearable. -
The Versatility of Risotto
ammitnox asked about a basic risotto recipe, and when I sat down to write, it seems as if I have a lot to say about risotto. And, as she is ever wise, she suggested that I post it somewhere on the Internets so I can refer to it later. So, here it is, with a few additional points of commentary. Now, I do have a few risotto recipes that I like, but these two ( Read more... ) -
Fascinating
So, I'm always fascinated by people who somehow manage to develop the ultimate online advertising gimmick*. Take one helping of "cute!", add a few dashes of "have to keep up with it", and sprinkle liberally with "addictive." Then, add advertising. The users/players keep coming back, the unique views/clicks/views keep going up, and the owners rake ( Read more... ) -

ST has a monthly column in which we invite a guest of the opposite species sex (or, possibly the word I want is gender; we're rather diverse) to write an article about something in the comics medium. It can be about what you like, what you don't like, that Buffy special sauce, sex in comics, a favorite creator, or a ( Read more... ) -
Feeling Better
Well, it's been a couple weeks, the cycle of antibiotics is done, and I'm beginning to feel good again. I actually had energy today. That was brilliant. I missed that. I do have to stay on claritin and the nasal spray, though; apparently, allergies have caught up to me. Boo, hiss.
FYI, St Patrick's Day ... the Pogues ... 9:30 Club ... a match made ( Read more... ) -
Sick and Tired of Being Sick and Tired
So my nurse practitioner (who is generally made of awesome and win) gave me more meds. I have a second sinus infection; the first was one month ago. Also, I keep looking like I'm healing, and then I cycle through sick again. It's been 2.5 months now. So, she prescribed something specifically for a bacteria that acts like that (cyclically), and we' ( Read more... ) -
Dance and Play
There's a lot coming up over the holiday season, so I wanted to remind everyone now.
The lovely and talented lenepeace (hey, just because I'm biased doesn't mean I'm wrong) will be performing with Kismet at Jammin' Java tomorrow night. We haven't heard Kismet live before, so we're quite excited. We even promise to be an embarassment behave ourselves. ( Read more... )
