Watching the wrong board…

Sara

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….

A million miles of road…

Sara

Two thousand one hundred words. Give or take. Writing about writing. Story Code Name: Wicked Also known as: The Wicked White Monstrosity Fun fact: The story was code named Wicked well before the band within was named Wicked White. Fun fact #2: Bob suggested the name Wicked White for the band without knowing the story’s code name was Wicked. Premise: After Hallie’s life goes off the rails, she upends things further and moves to the… Keep reading…A million miles of road…

Against the glass…

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…

Tethered here together…

Sara

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 over. I’m here to help… Keep reading…Tethered here together…

Kill the Lights…

Sara

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…

Fever-dream tangerine sweat…

Sara

I don’t know, ask Pete Wentz. Fever-dream tangerine sweat sounds like a review of Panic‘s Viva Las Vengeance album. *ahem* This is only about half as long as that monstrosity. And probably makes even less sense. Anyway. Clearing out my brain. And by brain I mean…well…my actual brain but also my writing folder. Same difference really. Regardless, not a pretty task. Writing about writing…folders. Twice in the history of this blog, I went through and… Keep reading…Fever-dream tangerine sweat…
