It seems like a lot of folks on my friendslist are having uncool things happen in their lives, or are simply having a difficult month. I just want to send good wishes out to all of you, whether you read this or not. (I've been lucky enough to be pretty okay, although I [...]

Random detritus that's collected on my "to blog" list

Went rock climbing again today; if I can keep up the once-or-twice a week pace for a few months I'll be pretty happy with myself. Today was special, though, because I managed to make it up a course that had previously defeated me; while my forearms are burning as a result, it's a good [...]
The Goat in the Grey Fedora

For anyone who needs a bit of silliness to balance out the seriousness of their day, The Goat in the Grey Fedora is a pretty amusing point-and-click adventure game that also happens to be a hilarious spoof on noir films. (Yes, I know the noir genre gets spoofed all the time and that's nothing [...]
Beautiful fall morning

I've actually been somewhat surprised by how much I'm enjoying this fall. Normally it's a time that makes me feel sad that summer's over and yet another year is drawing to a close; today, however, the crisp air with hints of woodsmoke is stirring all sorts of happy, contented feelings.

As any cat owners who read this blog can probably testify, one of the biggest hassles of cat ownership is litterbox-scooping. Now, I don't particularly mind the job (I'm one of those people who's gifted with an immunity to the “ewww” factor most people have regarding blood, feces, vomit, etc.), so I made a [...]

Yesterday, when I was heading to Blockbuster to return a DVD, I saw a police car, a fire truck, and an ambulance all parked by the nearby Tesoro gas station with their lights flashing. In Juneau that's a bit unusual, though certainly not unheard of – people collapse occasionally here, though I'm still sort [...]
New girly things!

I just came back from a grocery run where I spent almost $65 on materials of no particular nutritional or practical value. Something about this amuses me greatly. Fortunately, everything purchased is of recreational value, or else I would have to start seriously questioning my sanity.
The bulk of the purchases were makeup-related. [...]
Hangin' loose

Weekend was long, and fairly restful. Adam didn't make it in until late thanks to a flight cancellation, so we weren't really able to give him the grand tour we'd had planned, but it was good to see him nonetheless. Today has consisted mostly of him following Brian around preparing to head out [...]
