it's a convoluted mess
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…
I used the word writing eighteen times here. *cough* Every January like clockwork, my brain starts to think, I should do another Project 365. And then I have to remind myself, NO, YOU DOLT, YOU HATED ALL THREE TIMES YOU DID IT BEFORE. And the urge mostly passes. But for a few weeks, my brain grapples for something creative to glom onto because the turn of the calendar into a new year does weird things… Keep reading…Let old habits through…
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.

He’d been suspiciously quiet for quite awhile, but he’s back. He dredged up some old characters for a totally different plotline, but so far it’s still a blinking cursor. And also just half-baked and not… Keep reading…Blacking out the sun…
Happy Halloween? It certainly wasn’t The Halloween Blizzard of 1991 (TM), but Minnesota was still very Minnesota-y for the occasion. Pouring rain that turned into snow that turned into slush. Slush everywhere. State Patrol reported 169 accidents between midnight and 2PM. Because people forget that they have lived in Minnesota their entire lives and cannot remember how to fucking drive the first time it snows for the season. The camera was far more interested in… Keep reading…One stop short…
I started writing a different post and it quickly devolved into an extensive tirade about software and while extensive tirades are kind of the norm around here, I was annoying even myself, so…delete. In short: I Do. Not. Like. Windows 11 and I Really. Do. Not. Like. how every MF software is moving to the subscription-based model. Just let me buy a program once so I can run it into the ground until I am… Keep reading…Keep it undercover…
