the back is feeling a bit better today. i’m totally and utterly giving credit here where it’s due. tai chi is saving my ass.
a bit of back story:
i used to do a martial art called tukong moosul and studied under master yi, the guy on the wikipedia entry. he was awesome, the coolest and […]
happier back today…
oh joy…
okay, let’s get the crappy stuff out of the way first, shall we?
we had kitty vet drama on saturday evening when chess started stumbling around the house, listing to the left and missing his jumps. fortunately, the emergency vet was not overly expensive this time as it turned out he’s simply got a double ear […]

the safe-keeper’s secret - sharon shinn
sharon shinn has such great ideas. i keep getting sucked in by her concepts, it’s just too bad that her actual storytelling leaves me a bit cold.
in this case, her descriptions and worldbuilding had a lot of strange anachronisms. the setting is fantasy, but the children had full-on birthday parties and went to a […]
i can’t think of a title for this damn post…
updated the ink sketches, finally. i missed a couple days over the weekend, but dutifully did the sketches anyway, as soon as i got the chance.
the last few days have been filled with upheavals and errands, so i was glad to have a little time this evening to try and reconnect with myself and the […]

sometimes i lay in bed before getting up and dream up the ultimate computer network for our house. it involves a computer-run media center, many redundant terabytes backup drives and a big networked laser printer.
what can i say about this book? it's a lovely memoir of julia child's arrival in paris, her journey learning the language and discovering her life's passion in cooking.
the whole story is special to me, having grown up watching her show on television. mrs. child taught me a great many things about cooking (including the fact that mistakes are okay) and her warm, engaging style comes through in the text. i could hear her warbly voice in my head the entire time i was reading.
