  • Fridge Apnea

    So I’ve determined that my refrigerator has fridge apnea. Yesterday I noticed water dripping from the ceiling of the fridge compartment, as if something had melted from around the freezer compartment that shouldn’t. I wiped it all up, necessitating the door being open for some time, and then noticed that despite this, it hadn’t turned…

  • Laundry scandals

    I tried out a laundromat for the first time this morning, since the dryers at my complex have been wimpy, useless buggers lately. I’m fairly impressed with the experience—the washers cost more, but while the two at my complex come in small- (normal, I suppose, if I’m feeling kind) capacity, the ones here are large-,…

  • Oh, Canada!

    A mini-vacation sort of weekend: I went up to Victoria to see the sister who in other periods of history would surely be terribly scandalous perform Verdi’s Mass as part of the chorus. I envy them, because for most of the songs in my choir’s upcoming concert, we want to be smiling to draw the…

  • Post Con

    I’m back! Con was a ton of fun, as they so often are, especially since Norwescon is at the center of several of the spheres of my past. I ran into someone from high school there this year. I also got to be on my best attended panels ever, thanks to Jim Butcher. In his…

  • Story success!

    I finished my short on schedule! A day early, in fact, but that’s because it came out only 4k. I tend to run short on my first drafts. Dunno why. Personality, I guess! It often seems that the writers I know more often run long. Watched Mega-Python vs. Gateroid today with a friend. It was…

  • Line edits

    Before I launch into the main topic, housekeeping: my webmaster and I are working on changing comments this weekend, so you don’t need an account to post one. You can always head over to my facebook and comment on the link for the current post too, though. It’s also good for following new posts if…

  • Substandard eyeballs

    Hooray, I’m almost human again! My cold has subsided finally. I have also successfully stolen my parents’ software and done my taxes, efiled, and scheduled for Uncle Sam to suck what I owe out of my account (Sigh). Staying at my parents’ has made me realize how my prescription really has risen, the way the…

  • Plague vector

    I should be careful when I celebrate–I remarked to a friend on Sunday that I thought I’d conquered whatever con crud germs I might have picked up because I’d been sleeping deep for a week, but feeling just as tired. Immune system in action! Not an hour after saying that, my sore throat started. So…

  • We’re live!

    Welcome everyone, to my shiny new website! I’m a little busy with the holidays to be posting much just yet, and you’re probably all a little busy with the holidays to be reading much, so it all works out. In the meantime, let me point out a few specifically shiny things. Over in the links…
