Psychopomp is one of my favorite P words. Â A psychopomp is a guide for souls, a sort of escort for the newly deceased. If you saw The Crow (and as a former card carrying goth, of course I did, several times) then you know both the Brandon Lee character and …
Only one of the best songs ever. It sent me running for the dictionary. I can’t hear the word obsequious  without following it in my head, under my breath always, always with purple and clairvoyant. I was a kid when Let’s get Small  came out and I think I fell …
Kainotophobia~Fear of Change Kainolophobia~Fear of Novelty Kainophobia~ Fear of Anything New  Fear of Change. We like our habits. We like predictability. We like things the way they were, not the way they are now or how they could be. I get it. Change is hard. Personally, as someone who …
I haven’t written yet about our Bean, but I want to. No this is not B for Bean or even E for Emily (what we call her when we are not able to call her Bean). This may just be the place. I’m not quite sure how it happened. When …
Tonight I’m not so terribly inspired to say much. I’m still fighting B for back pain, though it is improving. I’m getting ready to put up an ad on our local craig’s list for a trainer, I think I need one to get me going –and someone who can keep …
adding nested commenting and replies. Bear with me!
Ok, the collective term for cats is clowder. I just had to say that. Clowder of cats. not a herd but a clowder. Guess that’s like a mope of goths or a stomp of rivets. Â That said Today’s word is Charientism <–click on it to hear the pronunciation. I …
 A to Z Blogging Challenge Well here we go again. I am going to give another blogging challenge a try. Why? I failed the last one quite miserably. And the reverb/resound whatever the heck that was didn’t work very well either. I have always made it through Nablopomo though. …
Prompt B: What does your everyday look like? Describe the scene of your happiest moment of every day. I get up at 5. Hit the snooze button three times until Moshi says “the alarm has been stopped for today. I get dressed, sometimes I showered the night before. I wake …
I just can’t bear to pay $40 for a blogging client. $10, sure –$20 even but $40? So I’m trying scribe fire and Petrus. But it isn’t certified for Lion, so this could get interesting. Also, not sure about putting in pictures.
oh dear god. It’s been too long again. Do I have good excuses, of course I do. Some of them are quite silly. My desk where I do #wineparty and such isn’t comfortable. I have this amazing table –well it’s beautiful, from my mom’s vast antique collection but it doesn’t …
I have two weeks until Max Raabe in Dallas. I’m guessing nearly everyone is over hearing how crazed I am about he and his orchestra. And This Good god, I love them both. I love Nena. I always have. I have NEVER EVER listened …
Well, where is my mind. My mind is on leaving my current job and going to my next one. I can’t say that I’ve got my head in the #reverb11 #resound11 etc game. I wish I did. I wanted too. There are just so many places to visit to find …
I’m just going to start writing. I’m several days behind. I couldn’t write because what I wanted to write about I’d been asked not to write about. This intersection of work and the internet is a very interesting place. I mean I wasn’t specifically asked not to write in my …
I’m just herping and derping around. I’ve messing with my blog plugins. Wondering if I need to change the theme, considering learning how to write a wordpress theme. Except I really like the Steampunk feel to it. I’m thinking about all the things I need to do around the house …
