Mid-Vacation Update
I’m in the middle of this year’s vacation to Best Friends Animal Sanctuary. The best friend, Holly, came out with me this time, and she’s been meeting parrots. This picture was taken on my second shift, which was spent at Sinjin’s (the former HQ building) with miss Millie, who’s part of the biggest loser club […]

Once Again, Meet Rowling
Some of y’all will remember Rowling from her inauspicious start in this world. And despite me calling her “my medical foster,” she’s been with me now for years, after her first long-term adopter brought her back. And why is that, you might ask. I don’t like strangers traipsing through my apartment. (I could have ended […]

Moar Vacation Details
Thursday morning I was slated to try on some shirts for a presentation the store was doing at lunch, so I skipped the morning shift. That gave me the opportunity to tour Wild Friends and Parrot Garden. Parrots are still not my thing, but I think I want to take a Wild Friends tour every […]

Back In Kanab
It’s vacation time again! Spent Monday in Vegas at Aria, and got to spend some time with a friend I made on Bitnet. His SO gave us an awesome tour of Encore (he worked on it). It’s got sumptuous furnishings and an orthogonal layout (which is only notable because it’s a casino). Fun words I […]

Best Sleepover Evar
Went to Graz last week to help celebrate Holly’s birthday. Greg was out of town doing doctor-y things, so we had the place to ourselves. Speaking of which, I love the new place. Any time you get to live in a building that’s 150 years old and it has electricity and indoor plumbing, it’s a […]

Adopt a Buttercup
First off, this is not my image. I did my best but couldn’t track it down to the original. I guess that’s kind of how memes go. I saw this image again the other day for the dozenth time and thought to myself, “Well, that’s Buttercup if I’ve ever seen one.” Buttercup, for the uninitiated, […]

October Is Crazy
The pic is Dis on my lap after I got home from San Francisco. And it’s also what I feel like right now. October is probably my favorite month of the year. It’s chock full of awesome. There’s the Renaissance festival and Halloween and the leaves turning. But it is also too damn busy. And […]

Observations
I get to watch my first Fringe when it airs tonight. Yes, I’m easily excited. Made Timmy, ThinkGeek’s mascot, an Observer costume for the season premiere. Nobody noticed. I mean, my coworkers did. But there was no general hue and cry from the masses. I even had his name worked out, in case somebody asked: […]

Huzzah and Whatnot
Maryland Renaissance Festival. Wait wait wait. MARYLAND RENAISSANCE FESTIVAL!!!! That’s better. Missed the first weekend on account of the hurricane, but still managed to make the first pubsing. Whoever came up with the idea of the single song (“Leave Her, Johnny”) that was the summary of the previous week’s rained-out pubsings, kudos. Did my first […]

Fancy Pants
On Holly’s last visit she took a pair of my jeans back to Austria with her. And I got them back this week, all embroiderified (which was even better because I’d forgotten about them). They’re awesome. There’s more on them, but I’m not putting a picture of my butt on here. In other news, Disney […]
