A Book Cannot Be “Racist”. - Wednesday, July 14th, 2010

A book can contain racist ideas, but a book itself cannot be racist. Things like this make me hate humanity. I refuse to go along with this week’s warm, feel-good celebrations of Harper Lee’s novel (published fifty years ago today), To Kill a Mockingbird. Simply put, I think that novel is racist, and so is [...]

Fish Tanks, Tofu, and More Fish - Sunday, March 14th, 2010

Today was a domestic day. Kitti and I cleaned the fishtank (2/3 water change) and set up a new filter. The previous filter was getting pretty old and having some trouble. It was also getting really noisy. I could have just bought a new motor for it, but it was pretty dirty. So the tank [...]

The State Of My New Year Resolutions - Wednesday, January 20th, 2010

Happy New Year!! - Thursday, December 31st, 2009

It’s midnight GMT, which counts for more than just any ol’ timezone. My resolutions for 2010: Update this site more often. Or ever. Not constantly lose my cell phone. Remember not to put French Vanilla creamer in French Vanilla coffee. Take Cardiff for longer walks in the morning. Get back to those Rosetta Stone German [...]

All You Need Is - Thursday, December 10th, 2009

All you need is Nine, Nine. Nine is all you need. Which song was this lyric from? Get your own lyrics:

Conflicting Feelings and a Woodpecker. - Wednesday, November 18th, 2009

Pardoner’s Tale and Ace of Wands keep turning up on pirate sites. I have mixed feelings about this. One is “yay, people want to read my stuff.” The other is “I could really use that dollar.” I feel hypocritical complaining about it though because if someone said to me “Can I take your ebook and [...]

Off My Game - Monday, October 19th, 2009

The Barcstoberfest “Strut Your Mutt” and associated festivities has been moved to the 25th, so there’s still time to donate and sponsor Cardiff. I’m glad it was pushed back because of weather because I was seriously under the weather this weekend. The whole sneezing/coughing/chills/general misery thing. I slept most of Saturday and was bratty on [...]
