it's a convoluted mess
Effortlessly… February. A month rife with baggage. January was a smear. We all know how the news has been and we’re not going to talk about that horror show. I don’t need to get put on a watch list for the things I have to say about it all. My brain is not so much mush anymore, it’s more like pulverized pulp leaking out my ear. It is useless. Anyway. Windows 11 forced a version… Keep reading…It shouldn’t be so hard just to be…
Yesterday post-work we went grocery shopping and realized it was only 66 degrees outside with low humidity. When we got home, I turned off the A/C and opened the windows and the cool, fresh air in my house was a shot of adrenaline dopamine I didn’t know I needed when I had a headache that was trying its best to turn into a migraine. I woke up with a full-blown migraine this morning (the first… Keep reading…Got no shame…
It is, as I type this, eighty-one degrees outside. It’s 30% humidity, windy, and we are under a Critical Fire Weather Watch. Yesterday I saw a news headline that claimed Minnesota has “no more signs of drought” because it rained last week. Makes sense.

Remember when songs you bought off iTunes were… Keep reading…Against the glass…
[ Basil vs Vices ] Basil: Hey! Remember that fanfiction you started a few years ago? Me: Could you be more general? Basil: You KNOW the one. Me: (I’m gonna regret this)……Why? Basil: WHAT. IF. Me: Please don’t. Basil: No, but what if. Me: Stop. Basil: Hear me out. Me: There are already FOUR iterations of that thing. Knock it off. Basil: Here’s number five. Me: Weren’t you hibernating for the winter? Basil: Nah. Winter’s… Keep reading…Tethered here together…
It is currently 62 degrees outside. In February. In Minnesota. It’s fine. Everything’s fine. Anyway. I don’t remember when Basil the Gremlin Muse was officially created. I had ideas about a gremlin muse rolling around for a long time before I created a critter in the game Spore. The game came out in 2008 and the first mention I can find of Basil on the blog is in 2010. So he’s been around for at… Keep reading…Kill the Lights…
