A friend of mine emailed me this. I giggled a lot. Q: “Let us pray for understanding and for compassion.” Picard: “Let us do no such damn thing.” Related Images:

Yay Gorey!
Edward Gorey has a store, including the Gashleycrumb Tinies poster — the first Gorey artwork I ever saw. “A is for Anabelle who fell down a well…” Related Images:

Here is a new Zaurus feed. Looks pretty complete — and the best part is that it is updated regularly. Last update was December 3. Sharp ROM Feed at Linux To Go Related Images:

Apparently another Microsoft project. According to some posts on Slashdot this morning, Microsoft has started a city-by-city project to capture every street. The first two cities are Seattle and San Francisco. It’s an interesting idea, but it makes you wonder. Are they going to edit out every person who might appear in the pictures?

Every night at about 10:00 PM Kiesha loses her mind and her evil twin emerges. About that time, I’ll hear a high pitched meow (where Kiesha gets her nickname of ‘Squeaky’) and the scritch-scratch of Kiesha clawing on the back of the couch. It’s like a mating call: ‘Come play with me or else I’m going to tear things up!’ ‘Kiesh, get off of the couch!” She tumbles off of the back of...

Once my house chores were done (yay leaf raking), I went to the barn for some fun times with the kids. I thought it was only 3:30 when I got out there, but apparently it was 4:30. I took my time tacking Rajiyyah up. I had every intention of riding her, except it started getting dark. The good Grey Mare had her saddle, bridel, side reins, and lunge line on. We lunged at...
Continue reading...Dance Class
Dance class was a BLAST tonight! First, we were drilled on some techniques. The instructor really worked us hard — which was great. And tiring. For some reason, it is easier for me to learn more complicated dance moves than it is very simple ons. We were layering dance moves one on top of the other (2-3 this time). I really enjoyed it. We started working on a new choreography, too. Also fun....

A good friend of mine died on Saturday. The second death since Thanksgiving. His funeral is today. The farrier is coming tonight as well. I tried to reschedule — the earliest appointment would be at the end of December. The horses can’t afford to go that long, not with Isis back in work. She needs her Easy Walkers and aluminum back shoes back on instead of the steel front shoes she has on...

According to an article in the Union Leader, Newt Gingrich stated that ‘a “different set of rules” may be needed to reduce terrorists’ ability to use the Internet and free speech to recruit and get out their message.’ Ironically, this statement was made at the t the annual Nackey S. Loeb First Amendment award dinner. I’m not even going to go into how irate this man and his opinions make me. I don’t...

Rajiyyah was full of herself yesterday. When I lunged her, she kicked up her heels, pranced around, and was a holy terror on the lunge line. After a few minutes she settled down adn we were able to get some productive work done. What a silly girl. Poor thing has rain rot on her hips and her face. I put furacin on it, so now the green goop has turned black with dust....

I updated the photography album with pictures of Isis (under Horses) and Kiesha (under cats). I’ll try to be better about posting more recent pictures. Related Images:

One of my kitties, Kiesha, is a long-haired calico. For some time, I’ve thought that she is a Maine Coone cross. However, a friend asked me if she is a Norweigian Forest Cat (a breed I had never heard of). I did some research, and sure enough she looks like a Norwiegian Forest Cat and not a Maine Coone. Kiesha was a foundling, so I have no idea what her actual breed might...

So today I’m heading out to another friend’s house for an ‘orphans’ Thanksgiving’ meal. While I’m enjoying spending the time with my friends, part of me keeps looking outside at the beautiful weather and wishing I was riding… The food and meal yesterday was excellent. Great company and good conversation. I can’t get over how much my friend’s Mom looks like my Mom. I sent a picture to my Mom. She replied: “Eerie!”...

Happy Thanksgiving! Hope everyone has time with friends and family and not with the nasty flu that is going around. I’m going over to a friend’s house for dinner with her family. I was going to try to head to my Mom’s house. Unfortunately, between air fare prices and lodging for a diabetic cat… it makes travel a little more difficult. Related Images:

Wednesday night is my regular dance class. However, Thanksgiving is taking the place of dance class tomorrow. Just for fun, I emailed my instructor to see if she would like to come over for a lesson. She agreed. Whenever she comes over, we have something like a cross between a girls’ night out and a dance class. We went through my costumes looking at different things and how they might be adapted. I...
