I just read a review on io9 of Season of the Witch. It looks so cheesy. SO cheesy as to be good in a bad way. I could not resist. Nic Cage and Ron Perlman in a campy movie that has scenes with hommages to Monty Python? I am so there. 🙂 Related Images:

Where the intrepid explorer manages to get rides to and from work with friends and eventually discovers what happened to her car. The car was at the shop for three days, mostly because they didn’t have time in the schedule to work on the car. I finally got the car back today. The alternator and a battery cable had to be replaced. The car did pass inspection, though. It was way more than...

Well not so much. More like a scary outting in which my car dies on the Interstate and then miraculously works long enough to get off of an exit (road where I live) and park the car in a pharmacy parking lot. The car has been running a little higher RPM than normal, but the higher RPM comes down once the car warms up. That’s been the only thing that seemed strange today....

Before you give thanks on Thanksgiving, you first shop for food and clean. The cleaning part is what always gets me. I’m not messy, but I tend to leave things incompletely unpacked for as long as possible. You get to where things you need are out but the rest of it isn’t put away. The boxes were out of the way, and that’s about it. I started cleaning at some crazy time of...

Best thing about WordPress is that site layout can be changed easily. Worst thing about WordPress is that site layout can be changed easily. You can lose hours getting sucked into looking at themes, tweaking newly installed themes, and then making new graphics for header images. I just switched to a theme called Suffusion. Lots of options without having to edit the CSS files (which I don’t mind doing, but it’s nice to...

Stella, the 21 year old cat, is playing Guild Wars with me. She plays with the characters on screen as they move around. # Heat index is 111F (~44C).

I originally started this blog to write about the issues I’ve been having with my various medically challenged animals. Initially it was Basette with diabetes and Isis with insulin resistance. Over the years, I’ve written about every animal I’ve had because they have all had some kind of medical issue. It means so much when someone leaves a comment. Maybe all of the work I do to document what happens with my animals...
