My mom gave me a cupcake maker. It makes the wee ones. It might seem silly to get something like that when I have an oven, but when the weather gets hot you don’t want to run the oven just for something like a few muffins. And the oven is sometimes unreliable — it heats [...]

I didn’t get to take a picture of this because the cat moved when I went to get the camera, but the other day I came home to find Rita snuggled up in the Clapotis I was working on. Double-plus-good? The knitting was on the dining room table. Rita’s mobility has increased so much that [...]

My mom and I were talking about TV shows. Partly because of my recent post and partly because that’s what people tend to do when they have lunch together and they both watch the same stuff. Mostly we were talking about Grimm. What I like about it is that it’s not really a supernatural show. [...]

“Epic” is a word that gets thrown around a lot. All sorts of things are “epic.” Most of them aren’t. The Cure show I saw on Friday, November 25 was epic. It probably wasn’t, but I can’t really think of a better word for it. They played three albums straight through, live: THREE IMAGINARY BOYS [...]
