Snip snip
Cut about six pages of crap that wasn’t working, which pissed me off. Then dithered around writing bits and pieces of personal emails and rants. Those, at least, did not piss me off. Where’s my whiskey?

Things I Need Tonight
Loud music and whiskey. I don’t have any whiskey around, but oh yeah, we’ve got the loud music in spades. And I think I have two beers in the fridge.

Burn Notice
This is a smart, funny little show that does a lot of things I want to accomplish with Nyx and co. You’ve got the gun-toting former IRA member ex-girlfriend, the alcoholic FBI-informing best friend (played by Bruce Campbell. Seriously!), the chain smoking hypochondriac mother who’s really bad at being a mom, and the ex-spy who’s
Well, you know…
… if McCain dies in office, things might get interesting. Less interesting than if Obama dies in office (hey, she’s Alaskan! When is *she* running for president?

Lost Highway
Continuing my Twin Peaks-inspired Lynch kick, I watched Lost Highway last night. This is a Lynch I’m a much more comfortable with. The obscure cyclical story. Messages to yourself from the future. Dopplegangers. Body jumping. Choppy, nonsensical narratives. Creepy fellows. And, also, whores who get slaughtered. Ho-hum (I’m thinking that one of the reasons I
Reasons to Make Supplemental Income
What you can get for 135K in Portland, OR (price reduced!). What you can get for 135K in Dayton, OH. Or, if you want something more contemporary. Or something with a bit of land. Must… write… more… books. And etc.

Fan Art (No, this is not my work!)
Someone has apparently created a pony mod based on Jay Lake’s novel, Mainspring. I’ve seen a lot of mods inspired by movies and television characters, but I think this is the first I’ve seen inspired by a book.
