Our cats have so completely taken over my desk chair that they are collapsing into one another into a sort of feline snuggle singularity, an adorable two-headed mass of sleeping fur so dense that only cuteness can escape. This makes it somewhat difficult […]

Bizarre dream this morning… The Galactica crew arrived at Earth to discover that the cast of Heroes are a Cylon genetic experiment based on the DNA of Jack Bauer, who presently has 24 hours to remodel a home in time for Christmas.

Good: Got first big chunk of big project delivered on time and more or less working as desired. Business folks are generally happy with what our team produced in the limited time available.
Bad: Had to miss the holiday party at German class in order to get there, so no Sekt and no […]

Just a quick post for now… We are back safely from San Francisco. Thankfully, the house is still standing–no exploding water heaters, no massive wake of feline destruction, nothing. I suppose it’s a good thing we got in when we did, as the news now tells us a plane got diverted to […]

Bloody hell, it’s been almost twelve days since I’ve posted any new photos from the Germany trip. Harrumph. I guess that’s what happens when I let myself get distracted by other things: houseguests, complete disassembly of the office/computer space to prep for painting, work, catching up with Tivo (I can’t believe I’ve […]

My recent vacation photos hiatus is in part due to spending last weekend being all responsible and grown-up and stuff–Laura, one of my nieces, came to visit us for the weekend. Note the use of the word “my,” a big step for me, as for most of the past seven years, the girls have […]

Did they spin off a “Cylon Victims Unit” or something?

Mood:confused

After far too much not-blogging, I think I’m hitting the point where the withdrawal is really starting to bug me, so I guess I’d better take care of that.
Work is fairly unmentionable; I pulled a few 12-hour days last week, which I should probably stop doing if I’m going to be the only one (as […]

I grew up watching “Dr. Who” on the PBS station out of Albuquerque, usually late at night, and in my earliest experiences, with my hands over my eyes to protect me from those damned terrifying Daleks. My inner four-year-old can still hear the cries of “EXTERMINATE!” echo in the darkness of my childhood bedroom. […]

I broke down and picked up the first season of the new “Battlestar Galactica” show on DVD as a bonus Christmas gift to myself, using a coupon attached to the Serenity DVD as an excuse. In the past week and a half, we’ve blown through both the season 1 DVD set as well as […]
