It’s official–Fall is here. My furnace–set VERY low–kicked on this morning. The first sign that not only is fall here but winter is close on its heels! The furnace is running as I type this. It’s kind of a reassuring, comforting sound, almost primal in the way it makes me feel more cared for and [...]

Since this is Banned Books Week, I’ve been trying to think of some cool way to celebrate that ten thousand bloggers haven’t already done. Aaand, I’ve pretty much come up blank. LOL.
So, here’s what I’m doing. I’m gonna list a few of the more… colorful books on my shelves. Then I’m going to say why [...]

Procrastination can be a beautiful thing…especially when I get to play with my boys. The last we saw of these guys they’d been taken hostage by the evil Colonel Attar. Luckily, a few heroes saved the day when Tom, Colt, Gay Bob and Big Joe rushed in and subdued the Colonel. Okay, fine, so Gay [...]

In this, I don’t mean romantic mind games between hero and hero, although those aren’t always fun to play either (although they are often fun to read about). No, in this, I mean computer games. More specifically, the kind you can download from Yahoo! Games.
Don’t do it. Two words: time suck.
Yeah, it’d be cooler if [...]

One of my children started middle school this year. It’s a big transition from grade school to multiple teachers, and schedule changes. There are huge changes to deal with at school and with their own developmental changes. Tough transitions for any 11-12 year old. Our kids are dealing with emerging hormones and the increased [...]

Maybe? Okay, it’s pretty much a given, because I do love me some Cthulhu mythos *g*
Just this weekend, I found out about this nifty little site called Innsmouth Free Press. They have not only “news” from Innsmouth (for those who don’t know, this is one of H.P. Lovecraft’s fictional towns around which he wove some [...]

So this is the week I am on the hunt for boots. Why? Well, my favorite pair of biker boots are losing their souls. I’ve had them re-glued and re-screwed twice. They’re done for at this point. While I do have a second pair of boots, they’re traditional biker style, and I prefer engineer boots. [...]

I’ve started the next wolf book officially. I have no idea what to title it though. I had some reservations about the working title and Kimber confirmed them today, so as of now I’m titleless. Hmmm, I may have to get Dick D a run down of the plot. He rocks at [...]

Not that first time. That one was so long ago I just about can’t remember it anymore. (Was forgetable anyway) No, I am talking about something much more important. Friends and neighbors, I am facing my first time away from my darling MacBook, Admiral Crunchbyte.
The Admiral has a bit of a crack in the front [...]

I have to share an absolutely gut-busting, hilarious, unbelievably creative book with all of you. My cousin was just over this afternoon and he lent me a book by Graham Roumieu called Me Write Book: It Bigfoot Memoir. The pages are filled with sketches and handwritten notes by Bigfoot that I don’t even know if I can describe. [...]
