Always the same thing…

Kitchen dancing is my favorite...

April. Right then. We keep having days of eighty-some-odd-degrees. But then there was also some snow. Because Minnesota. BUT! Look at this forecast. It’s open windows and hoodie weather. It’s so pretty. The kitchen faucet has been sputtering every time we turn it on, and making strange ticking noises when it’s turned off. The first time I questioned it, Bob said, could be sign of a leak. Did either one of us bend over and… Keep reading…Always the same thing…

Shadows on the glass…

Bears...featuring Unicorn Tail...

March. Sure. Warm. Cold. Warm. Snow. Warm. Snow. Warm. Blizzard. Snow. Cold. Snow. Warm. FIRE WEATHER. Sounds about right. It took five and a half years of fidgeting with it, but I finally wore out the Popsocket on my phone. I popped it open and my phone promptly went strangely…limp…in my hand and I realized the top half of the plastic was hanging by a quarter-inch connection. The last bit tore the rest of the… Keep reading…Shadows on the glass…

Count the Stars Above…

You are MAGIC!

February. This year is off to a rollicking good start, no? Jesus. Fucking. Christ. If I said what I really want to say, I’d be put on a watch list. There are enough news stories in the past week alone about people getting raided and arrested for mouthing off on the internet. I am so fucking exhausted. Anyway. Is it really just a lead-in to the monthly Last.fm stats if it’s 1200-some-odd words? …) We… Keep reading…Count the Stars Above…

Make it through the winter…

Oh hai.

Well it’s January. Which means it’s time for the annual ICE DAM! Just sitting at my desk, hearing the telltale pat-pat-pat of water dripping from the living room window frame. It hasn’t poured out yet, but I’m sure it’ll happen before its cleared. Now the HOA management company is requiring picture or video proof of the leak, or they won’t send anyone out. Like, yes, I’m lying about a fucking ice dam, please send someone… Keep reading…Make it through the winter…

A Year in Review…2025…the Books…

A Year in Books...2025...

The Books!? Apparently. I didn’t start out with a plan to write a year-in-review for the books I read last year. I had read multiple books in a short period of time and decided to make some notes for myself because the progress was so abnormal for me, but nothing I’d call a review. When I hit double digits, I started fleshing out my notes, but didn’t know if I would actually do anything with… Keep reading…A Year in Review…2025…the Books…

A Year in Review…2025…the Music…

Last.fm Day by Day 2025...

I kind of knew the numbers were going to be on the lower end this year, but I didn’t realize how much lower they were going to be. I spent a lot of time sitting in my video game house (FFXIV) listening to in-game music while staring blankly at the internet (or just the wall). I also spent a lot of time falling down Youtube rabbit holes. And Jinx* has been watching more music videos… Keep reading…A Year in Review…2025…the Music…
