All Apologies
My dearest minions, I have been dealing with technological issues for quite some time, and those of you who follow me on Twitter or are on my Facebook can attest to the frustration I have experienced over the past several weeks. It’s been a nightmare. I was in technology hell, but I’ve found an escape [...]

Writing/Editing Tip of the Week – Passive Voice
Since the spammers are being stupid now and only leaving me comments with links, which I won’t EVER approve OR discuss outside of this sentence due to their subject matter (things best left for erotic tales and little blue pills), I will now have to switch topics. So there will be no more Spam Comment [...]

That Feeling…
…when even though you’re surrounded by people, you feel utterly alone. Ever feel like that? It’s been almost 20 years since I’ve been without a dog in the house. Twenty. Fucking. Years. I can’t even really begin to describe how it feels aside from the statement above. I miss my Moonbug, my K’Lar, my MacLeod, [...]

My Moonbug
Most of you know that I had to euthanize Moon last Friday, June 29th, only two months before her 12th birthday. Sadly, this is my reality. The other reality is that this post may make you tear up. I’m tearing up just writing it, which is why I likely subconsciously put it off until now. What you [...]

Working Out and Swearing
A week and a half ago, I was out with some friends at a local Goth club (that was awesome AND that I’m totally taking RC Murphy to next time she visits). Toward the end of the night, my friend G and I were lamenting about our age, our bellies (because we both could pull [...]

Spam Comment – 25 June 2012
Hey, minions! I barely skimmed this one and thought it was perfect before I even realized which post it was on, which makes it even more perfect. HA! Today’s spam comment comes from piscine bois tonga, and was left on . . . wait for it . . . Zombieland. When you read below, you’ll understand why [...]

Mexican Chicken and Rice
I know, it’s been a long time since I posted a recipe, but I’ve been busy with other things and haven’t been experimenting much in the kitchen. Lucky for you, my sister-friend Deni has! She sent me this wonderful recipe last night. Though she said it tastes awesome, I have no idea, but we’re going [...]

Spam Comment – 18 June 2012
Good morning, my minions. I hope the day finds you well. As for my spammers, well, I hope you achieve a better education so you can leave this shitty job. I mean, let’s face it, you’re not really accomplishing anything but annoying the fuck out of people. Yes, I’m right. I’m not arrogant enough to [...]

Birthday Wish List
“It’s my birthday and I’ll sing if I want to…” I’ve had a few people ask me what I want for my birthday. My first response is, of course, to sell LOTS of books. That’s a given any day of the year, though, so I decided that since tomorrow is my birthday, I’d make a [...]
