Dagstine has a new blog entry promoting his upcoming story collection from Samsdot. Step right up, girls and boys, coming soon is the beginning of something much more spectacular and rewarding than that! By “that,” he meant his Doctor Who polls. Well, damn near everything is more rewarding than a Doctor Who poll, so I’ll […]

Page grabs are here. Page 1. Page 2. Page 3. I may have missed something, but, it happens.
This Bird’s Nest

As many of you know, we like to go to The Cape for bird watching in October and April, when the birds are migrating. If we time it right in October, we can also hit the Wine Festival. April is dicier, weather-wise, so we could easily end up tromping through mud, get stuck with rain, […]

This thread at SL is really funny. Mikkake has not one defender — not even Dagstine. Yes, I have page grabs, in case Matty takes the snippers to the thread (if he hasn’t already). I’ll post them later, if necessary.
Dagstine Eats His Own Foot

Hat Tip: Dumbstain These were originally posted as comments on my previous entry. Apparently, Dagstine made a total ass of himself, yet again, on Shocklines. The rest of the entry is really long, so I’ll put it behind a cut.
My $189 Problem

Remember yesterday when I mentioned that I had a hot water pipe burst? Those plumbing pipes never should have been routed through the ceiling of an unheated garage, given that an interior wall was only a few feet away, but so be it. Let’s just say that when the pipe burst, my car got a […]
Food Porn: Lemon Bar

I made these yesterday. We brought a dozen over to my parents, and kept the other half of the batch. To my surprise, there were only four left this morning! They’re chewy-gooey, with a crunchy bottom crust that is only slightly sweet, but chock full of butter. The recipe is here. In other news, we […]
Black Bear

I don’t really mind seeing these in my backyard, but I prefer the red foxes and coyotes. None of them are particularly aggressive. Mostly, they look up, startled, and watch you, if you encounter them. If you stay calm, they generally just move along. They’re supposed to be hibernating this time of year, so I […]
Mike’s Meatloaf

This sounded good enough for its own entry, so I did a copy-pasta of it from the comments on “Food.” I’ve never bought applesauce, since it only takes 20 minutes to make from scratch, but Karen’s subsequent comment about why you might need to drain it reminded me that my mom used to buy it […]
Ice, Ice, Baby

Around here, tire chains are illegal. This isn’t Manitou Springs. Still, I know how to drive on 2″ of ice, with mere steel-belted radials (aka, rain tires). Take it about 1 mph. The cop who was blocking the intersection to direct everyone elsewhere advised me about how slippery it was. I explained that I lived […]
