half moon funk. it’s coming. not quite here. typical monday, not much to report. the library has an abysmal fantasy selection. bleh. turned in my books and wanted to pick out more, but couldn’t find anything i’d not either already read or passed over for lack of interest. they claim to have a share program that’s global. reckon i’ll check that out later. been feeling kind of inbetween lately. you know the lull that comes when things settle? kind of a catch your breath kind of thing only i’m not out of breath. nothing really catches my mind lately. not […]

i’m sitting here thinking about how to show love. it’s a light word these days, love. gets lobbed all over the place. tossed about like salt at a hypertensive table. too much salt ruins the meal… or more aptly, a word, said too often, loses its weight. actions always speak louder, but they are often rarer. the term coined for it ‘back in the day’ was ‘lipservice’ — to say a thing rather than to do it. how do you best show love? i’ve always thought it is best shown by doing things that demonstrate you are thinking about someone’s […]

i challenged a friend of mine recently to turn up the quality on their photographic excursions. tonight, i see they have several new shots up, one of which definitely qualified as ‘improvement’…. well, with a bit of post-processing. i think back to all the baby pictures i’ve seen in my life; both of my own children and of others. there are many ‘in-betweeners’… you know the ones, where the shutter clicked just before or after something amazing happened. heh. the ones i tend to like the most are of families napping together or in some manner of relaxed position. i […]

this is the most settled i have been in one place in almost eight years. i thought about it today. the reason i thought about it was that i find the last eight years has almost conditioned me to want to move as soon as things seem like they will settle. it’s odd. somewhat a pre-emptive effort to avert being caught out? hm. i catch myself saying things here and there like, “well, until the next disaster….”. but i must admit the ‘disasters’ are decidedly calmer these days, even the ones that have been of major disruptiveness. it’s… nice. i’m […]

a relatively quiet weekend. my roommate is back from vacation, so i’m back to spending time behind a closed door. i know he mans well, but i also know he either didn’t understand or didn’t believe me when i said i have a need of quiet. it may well be that my preference at home has ruined me for living with others. it seems the only time it has been otherwise was when i was raising my daughter or living with a partner. anyway. i just finished reading a rather amazing series by jaqueline carey, the kushiel triology. if you […]

i am sitting here wracked with goosebumps, shaking, quite literally. i did it. for the last week, i have been longingly looking at an ad posted to the local craigs list looking for a senior tester to relocate to europe and test for a ‘leading mmo company’. i know it has to be funcom. i just know it. today, almost without effort, i updated my resume and pulled together a cover letter and sent it off. as soon as i did, i felt electrified. i know that will sound silly. but i swear, i just sent it less then thirty […]

recording available: lunar-moth within the pane, thrumming, the delicate tappings against glass, i could hear them, faintly, from my pillows. from slumber, i woke and was restless, the light flutterings of despair upon the sill called me from the dreamlands and i replied, albeit reluctantly. the lunar moth is a thing of great and odd beauty. delicate green wings like leaves, veined with white and dusted silver by moonlight, antennae of deepest purple, fern-like and trembling for knowledge by which to navigate the twilight. it flitted and fluttered at the window, called by the soft beam of the nightlight. i […]

“nothing feels sexier than freshly shaved legs…. except perhaps having a man close by to say the same.”

go figure, i’ve got places to be and things to do. for a change. tag, title, and such complete, work complete, feeling much better and in the mood to be somewhere that isn’t staring at this monitor. short vid for those who care to see it. as always, click through to view. oh, and just because i’m feeling prett-ah, a picture, too!
