Ode to the Spammer
My darling; my dear one; my good long-lost friend:
your tag line to pleasure your note doth portend.
The rare precious chance to see Trixie nude,
into my hum-drumness allows to intrude.
When need for an organ to stretch through the roof;
I rush to your substance before it goes “poof!”
“You’ve won!” you declare as you detail my prize;
while “processing [...]
“Climate Change” is B.A.D. (?)
“B.A.D.” stands for “Blog Action Day”, an interesting acronym, considering…
Is there a global crisis? Or just a global point of interest?
I’ve been blogging now for two and one-fourth years, and in that time I’ve had the opportunity and joy to participate in two previous Blog Action Days. The event takes place on October 15th each [...]
Cat, Twitter, and the alternate ME
I’ve been on a long(ish), strange journey for the past couple of months: It all started with a Tweet (a short text message using the social networking provider “Twitter“) back in mid-August from Carocat, who (and I may actually forgive her for this; haven’t decided yet) posted a link to a music video. “Nice”, I [...]

One of the things I’ve always appreciated about both Taoism and Buddhism is that each of them can be practiced as a religion, or studied as a philosophy. I’m sure that’s true of all spiritual writings, really, but there is no onus in the writings of the Tao on practicing a particular ritual. It’s [...]

This is what I often yell at speak in a slightly elevated tone to my computer when it’s accessing the Internet and I don’t know why. Between automatic updates, and just random computery things, my connection will just start going nuts, sometimes when I’m not doing anything. As a Registered Control Freak(TM) this bothers me [...]

As it’s been raining, (good thing) and it’s also overcast, (OK thing) it mostly has blocked out the sun (not my favorite thing). I must have that S.A.D. thingy, because, even though I live in an area which has over 300 sunny days per year, once the sun disappears for more than 10 minutes, I [...]
Read Full Post | Make a Comment ( 2 so far )I need this blog
I need this blog to do something new for me. It sits, passively, while my life rushes by; uncaring.
Barely two years old; already cantankerous; not even “the terrible twos” can foil it—it never asks: “Why?”
I need this blog to do something new for me. I’m not known for maintaining friendships long past their usefulness. Cold; [...]
Anatomy of a Blogroll
It’s my second bloggiversary today, and while it seems a very short year since my first one; it also seems as if I’ve been at this for more than two years! As I wrote in my last post, summer, and July in particular, seems a good time to start a new project and a new [...]

It’s odd, I’ve often thought, that the days of the week in the English language are named after Norse gods and planetary bodies, yet month names are a mixture of Latin numbers, Roman Emperors, and Rituals, with a Greek goddess thrown in (Maia, or May). We English speakers are all mixed up, don’t you think?
Time [...]
Mooning on Moonday
I had planned for some months now to write about the 40th anniversary of the moon landing. Space exploration is of profound interest to me. As a child, as I’ve written elsewhere, one of my favorite books was You Will Go to the Moon! When I read it; people HAD gone. I just knew I [...]
