Hear da lamentation of da women!
Conan the Barbarian as a three minute musical. Absolutely frightening and hysterically funny. Even sung with the right accent for Ahnold. Related Images:

Compared my #N900 to the iPhone 4G some of the fanbois here have. I like my N900 better. 🙂 # #FF @amethystdragon @spicycauldron @dancinghorse @vsmirk @djuggler # oOoO Sequel to The Dark Crystal! http://powerofthedarkcrystal.blogspot.com/ # One of the guys just got his iPhone and returned to work — after 8 hours in line at the…
Kasane conquers first trail ride
Wow. Two and a half hours worth of trail riding with 10 other horses and the Bay Wonder Mare Junior was amazing. I dismounted and mounted about four times. We went through our first water obstacle (BIG creek: wide but not deep), dealt with several bridges, water along side the trail, deer, and no-see-ums. The…
Finger update
The cut on my finger has completely healed over on the large entrance wound and the smaller exit wound. My finger is still a little swollen and I don’t quite have full range of motion back. However, the finger flexes enough to hold reins, so that’s all I care about. I still can’t hold a…
Tomorrow is the big day…
Kasane’s first trail ride. I’m nervous and worried and excited at the same time. We had a good ride today, even though this was the first time she gave me some grief while I was on her. At one point, we stopped near the gait and I asked her to walk forward. She refused, pinned…
Kasane graduates to the big ring
Today, Kasane had her first ride in the big ring. I warmed her up in the round pen as usual, and then, while on her, opened the gate and rode to the big ring. She hesitated when stepping out the gate, as it some magical line had been crossed. She walked to the ring walking…
Videos of riding Kasane
My friend Zoltan came out with me to the barn on Tuesday and videod a ride on Kasane. It’s in three parts. Unfortunately the first part is sideways. (I’ll fix this as soon as I get the license for my video editing software sorted out.) These rides are very early in Kasane’s training. She’s had…

Finger update
The stitches came out last week on Friday. So far, everything looks good: healing clean without tendon damage. However, there is some nerve damage. The top and inside of my finger feels like it has a perpetual case of Novacaine-like numbness. As the swelling goes down, I’ve regained a little range of motion. I can…
Video: The Mummy and the Archaeologst, A love story
Josh Ritter’s latest album features a song called “The Curse,” about an archaeologist who falls in love with a mummy. The music video for this song was created by the band’s drummer, who is also a puppeteer. It is so nice to hear a story-driven song with a good melody. The video is just perfect….

Got out to the barn today and Isis was in a fully sweat and grumpy. Too hot to do anything except groom and hose the girls. # Anyone want an invite to #Glass If so, PM me and I'll send you one. (writeonglass.com. Neat stuff. Make sure to read the service terms.) # Hints of…
Kitchen: 1. Kim: 0.
“I fought the knife, and the knife won…” Or Stupid Human Tricks — cooking with Kim! Srsly. Don’t separate salmon patties with a steak knife. Use the butter knife that’s been run under hot water. Don’t get lazy just because the steak knife is there all innocent looking. It’s really out for blood. That particular…
