Watching the wrong board…

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. One of the bathroom faucets has a drip that keeps getting progressively worse and the handle is getting floppier by the day. Our kitchen faucet did that once upon a time….

April. Apparently. We woke up to snow this morning and everything covered in white. By lunchtime it was over and melted and the sun was trying to shine. This has been the weirdest winter season we’ve had that I can remember. Technology is making me crabby. No, no. More than usual. …) Feedly doesn’t show ALT text for images that don’t load in an RSS feed. So there is no indication that there should be… Keep reading…Just keeps spinning round…

Minnesota Weather Update: It snowed. Two days in a row. We got about half a foot of snow, which is way more than the rest of this winter combined. Will we get more? It’s only the end of March, so we very well could. I’ve been digging around in my iTunes library because I still have a couple thousand files that have fucking DRM protection on them. Remember when songs you bought off iTunes were… Keep reading…Against the glass…

Up for grabs…

March. Okay. It is currently sixty-seven degrees outside. The rest of the week is going to be in the forties, but today I turned the furnace off and opened the windows. Because fresh air. …) We bought a rice cooker. We’ve only used it once, but it was a rousing success, which is unheard of in most first attempt cooking ventures for me. The texture was on par with good Chinese food. I didn’t have… Keep reading…Up for grabs…

Kill the Lights…

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…

Cut through the darkness…

Minnesota Weather Update: IT SNOWED. Like, measurable snowfall. It was probably three inches at most, but the snow removal company had to actually come out and shovel and plow for the first time this entire season. I heard shoveling around bedtime and looked outside and there were so many dudes with shovels, there was practically one in every driveway on our patch of street. Usually it’s one or two doing front steps while the truck… Keep reading…Cut through the darkness…
