  • The Second Page

    So, I’m obviously stuck – uninspired – what have you and the journal is now hiding under a couple of books I got for Christmas. You know, the one I can’t write in because of my First Page anxiety? Jay had this brainstorm, though. He said I could actually skip the first page and start…

  • My Writing Process

    I’m not sure what process everyone else goes through when they write; I tend to wait for inspiration, compose it in my head and then try to make it to the computer before it all disappears. That’s worked pretty well, except the last few times I felt inspired, it was 3am and I also happened…

  • Mean!

    So, I may have had someone convinced that the only way to gain my forgiveness was to give me cash. It would have been funny except for the bit where they were actually scrambling through their wallet and apologizing for not having any money on them. They even asked if they could pay me later.…

  • Haushaltung

    Guten Tag! Es tut mir sehr Leid, aber mein Deutsch ist sehr schlecht. Aber… Ich will etwas sagen Wenn Sie kein persönlicher Freund sind, dann werden Sie auf die Website nicht zugreifen können.

  • January 10th? Anyone?

    … to toss aside Hello Kitty and have a new focus for April in 2009! (I love you, April! Keep on Twittering!)

  • My Battlestar Friends

    Don’t forget about the BSG Webisodes before the premiere (January 16) like I did. Episode #7 comes out tomorrow at noon. Plus, by virtue of being behind, you get to repeatedly see the latest trailer for the Underworld Movie – Rise of the Lycans. Sure, the first five times I saw it, I was all…

  • A Rant for Lynn; A Story for Tony: Tech Support

    Tech Support Fact vs. Beth: I hate calling tech support and when I do call, I’ve moved beyond “Tier 1” and likely need someone who isn’t flipping through a book looking for a script to match what I’m saying. I need a “real” tech support person, not a glorified telemarketer. One of our hotshot IT…

  • Christmas 1975

    Christmas 1975Originally uploaded by Big Blue Mess I don’t remember many Christmas’ – just flitters of images – heading to my aunt’s house to be with the rest of the family – the children’s table at Grandbuddi’s – cranberry “sauce” making that sickening sucking sound as it fell out of the can – dressing up…
