Sylvana, an awesome natural horse trainer (and mentor), met me at the barn after work to help me with Kasane. Sylvana and Chris, the barn owner, have given me tips and suggestions for working with young horses using natural horsemanship methods. I’ve always done traditional training methods and always enjoy learning new techniques and methods….
After over a week of being away from the barn, I finally got back out there on Sunday. Sunday morning I realized just how much stress I’d been living with because I felt shaky and off kilter. The best solution when I feel like that is to go to the barn. Not to ride, but…
For the past month, I’ve been packing and coordinating a move. Finally finished the move on Friday, cleaned like mad on Saturday, and turning in the keys to the old apartment on Sunday morning. I used a moving company for the first time: Trosa Moving. These guys were great. It took five guys about 3.5…
Have moved into new apartment. Have box city to unpack. Am rebelling and watching Time of Angels. # Stuff is moved. Now it is time to clean my old place…Arg. All I want to do is go to the barn… # Got the keys to the new place. Now the fun begins… # RT @svgeesus:…
I’ve had a riding lesson for the past two Saturdays. It has been a roller coaster where my riding skills fluctuated from newbie to advanced. Had my skills degraded? Muscle tone wasn’t as good as it had been in 2008 when we were able to ride more. In 2009, riding time was minimized due to…
Worked two horses. Played D&D. Played with cats. Ren faire tomorrow, then riding. Packing panic for move to follow. # Found out Christina Cox was in Defying Gravity (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0184965/) She was great in Blood Ties (based Tanya Huff's novels) # Dentist appointment this morning. I just love dentists. No, really. I do. Really. # RT…
If horses lived and worked with us, maybe it would be something like this… Interesting how some ideas don’t even need words to convey meaning. 🙂 Especially with horses. Related Images:
Yesterday I did an experiment: I lunged Isis and Prize together in their paddock (which is also a backup ring). A few nights ago, I did a similar experiment except I lunged one horse at a time and swapped between them with both of them loose in the ring. It worked pretty well. How would…

I’m having to use the Winddow XP virtual machine on the Mac to do character updates for gaming tonight. Stupid fucking Windows keeps asking if I want to reboot. It’s downloading updates in the background even though that was turned off. I get so aggravated with Windows. It’s amazing how having to use an application…
The Nokia N900 has Skype integrated into the UI. Once a VOIP account is configured, contacts show up in the phone’s address book with Skype call/IM options. Since I’ve had the phone, I’ve never been able to answer a Skype call and hear a person for more than a few seconds. Reading on the Maemo…

Once the Nokia N900 was shown to be able to control a miniature helicopter, it was only a matter of time before one success to was extrapolated to a larger scale. The video, originally released by Tweakker and featured on Nokia’s blog today, is a hoax. Wouldn’t you love to have the option to purchase…
I picked up Ambush’s ashes today: a little white box in a purple velvet bag that says “Until we meet again at the rainbow bridge.” My poor little buddy. I held it together until the person at the clinic handed me the bag with Ambush’s ashes. I’ve cried almost every time I’ve seen something that…
