One, at least! FINALLY, OK’s house is finished. I wanted to get it out there before I ran out of daylight, but P was still asleep and that house weighs a metric fuckton, but it’s not going anywhere, so I’ll take pictures tomorrow or something. These’ll do for now. It’s not the prettiest thing I’ve […]

If they weren’t so goddamned busy trying to serve as many ads as possible, and make their mobile site difficult to navigate on…mobile devices, I might actually be able to scroll through more than the first screen of an article. I then had the bright idea that requesting the desktop site might help, but it […]

It’s only half over, but I’m almost finished OK’s new house, and I forgot to post this yesterday, when I accomplished nothing but loafing around, watching Criminal Minds and eating myself into a food coma. Anyway, it snowed a bitch when I was on my way home, and this was Thursday morning. If I ever […]

The shit old people will buy. Put a generic 8GB USB 2.0 flash drive in a Hammacher Schlemmer print catalogue in 2014, call it a “Picture Keeper” so old people will know what to do with it, and tell them it’s “smart” enough to know it has pictures on it and that it won’t duplicate […]

I don’t remember how old I was when we bought the set of encyclopedias, but I was young enough that I didn’t care about the encyclopedias themselves as much as I cared about the children’s story books that came with them. We got the encyclopedias, a set of dark green bound books called the Harvard […]

I forgot to post this. My tree has bloomed once before–it had a few on it when it was in the west window at 544–but not as many flowers as it has in the big southern exposure window here. It probably should have been repotted last summer, but I never got around to it. Anyway,  […]

First real snow. I’m about half-finished Ol’ Kitteh’s outdoor house, but no pictures yet. I worked outside and it was fucking cold. Anyway… Also, one of the few times Old and Crusty has allowed me to take a photo. Ol’ Kitteh’s bunny furs for his bed arrived. I put them on his towels to get […]

I was looking for a video editor on Play, and the first three all wanted permission to read my phone number, call status, and the number calling. What the actual fuck?! The one I’m installing has in-app purchases,  but at least it’s not trying to read my phone number or call status. I can understand […]

I was dead tired last night, but stayed up just a few more minutes to put the laces back in the boots I’d dyed. I’m happy with the colour, and I was pleased with the performance of the oil dye. The deglazer made enough of a difference that it was worth buying. “Ist gut.” 🙂
