Just a quick link today, I’ve got stuff brewing. I’ve never been a fan of hunting, and I always liked deer, until they destroyed my garden. But since I no longer have a garden, I’m back on the side of non-hunters. I suppose I see the benefits of thinning out the herds, but I can’t [...]

Baptism
What was going through my head when I thought I’d have an easy move? I requested that my helper monkeys come at 2:00 on Sunday, thinking that I’d be out of there with one truckload and happily munching on “job well done” pizza by 3:00. In reality, the pizza did not happen until after three [...]

There was something so pleasant about that place
Nice to see the world kept spinning yesterday when I decided I just didn’t want to write a blog post. No particular reason for that, really. I started one, I didn’t like it, so I just stopped. It was nice to be free from the anxiety I have all day long when I’m constantly checking [...]

The floodlighted night
I’m going on record here. I am the one person on the internet who didn’t really like the new Batman movie. Admittedly, I went in more interested in being air conditioned for two and a half hours, not because I was hoping it would be The Greatest Movie Of All Time. But still, I was [...]

Uh huh, yes, um, okay…
Since the neighbors moved out of the house next door to me, the landlesbian has been in rare form. She has been talking up a storm. A scattered, tangential, incoherent, I-want-to-walk-away-now storm. Mostly it’s about her frustrations with the guy who’s plastering the house and how he’s a “diva.” But she also refers to the [...]

What do you call a deer with no eyes? No eye-deer.
I’ve always been a fan of deer. Deer hunters piss me off. How can you shoot such a majestic creature? The way they hop through the woods, so graceful. Sure, it’s a little scary when they dart across the road at dusk, but seriously, that’s our fault for building roads through their land. That’s how [...]

UPDATE
Since I was yard sailing all day Friday, I completely ignored the internet. Nothing personal, of course, it’s just good to get away every once and a while. If anyone spent the day wringing their hands, wondering the fate of my stuff, I’ve got one thing to say to you: get a life. But even [...]

Come on down!
My next door neighbors (the ones who live in the John Lennon slept here farmhouse) are moving out at the end of the month. I’m saddened to the point of grieved about this. They are exceptionally great neighbors, and I’m not hopeful that someone as cool will take their place. Because they want to purge [...]

Wordless(ish) Wednesday
We had a huge storm last night. And I told you I’d get a picture of the Thai Spice / Fortune Cooky mural. I can’t find any information on this mural, other than it was done by some high school students at an art school. I hope they make something of the vacant lot here. [...]

Remember me to the one who lives there
It’s official, on a hand-written lease, no less: I’ve signed on to live on the Christmas Tree farm for another year. The Landlesbian kindly only raised my rent $7 for utilities, and even though I’m still paying too much to save any real kind of money, it’s a good deal. I think she showed compassion [...]
