Copperhead

So Ian and I were at the store Wednesday, and passing through the haircare/random toiletries aisle, Ian asked his usual question, “Should I dye my hair?” He does this from time to time, but most of the time we just agree “nah” and move on. This week, however, we went ahead and grabbed a box of dye and decided we’d dye our hair Thursday. Ian worked on my hair first Continue reading →

Elliptical

The husband and I went and got a used elliptical machine last night. We had to take the middle seat out of the mom-mobile again, but honestly it’s easier to get groceries and the like in there wihtout that middle seat. Besides, when Simon’s up, it means he gets to stretch out those long legs of his. How’d he get to be so tall, anyway? I’m the tall one, hehe. 😉 Continue reading →

I got tall!

I was talking to the little sis yesterday after the SFOL meeting in the library, and she informed me that the place where we’re getting the bride’s maids dresses called to say that they measured me at a half an inch shorter than Jessica so I’d need the “extra length” on the dress. That means I’m tall! That or their dresses are kinda short, hehe. It’s an extra ten bucks and they’ll probably still have to Continue reading →

This is going to be broken for a while

I’m currently working on getting my website’s file directory cleaned up so that things like pictures and files will be easier to find in the future. The husband has suggested that I do this time and time again because, honestly, it really is a kinda braindead idea to have all my pics and files and pages in one directory. It takes forever to find things and it’s just a pain in the butt regardless. So I’m Continue reading →

New page

I’ve added a new page to the Pictures page. It has all my old comics from the old site along with what days they originally appeared. There’s a new comic up following in the vein of the Atheist comics I started right before I ran out of time to work on comics much. Fridays are my boring days at work when I don’t feel like grading or doing much else, so I tend to doodle in the morning Continue reading →

Musings

Carved turkey on a black platter. Apples tinged with rose and rum. Don’t sweat the small stuff. Blue-eyed fangs. Was I standing up too close or back too far? Marinated. FCC regulations apply. Feathery green wings sing with blown noses. Spirals crawl on walls to reach leafy heights. Noitide. Egelloc. Koobeton. Tcejbus. Eno. Why do green staplers eat my students’ papers? Parce que j’ai Continue reading →

Can’t help myself

I can’t seem to stop writing. Too bad most of it’s not for the thesis. I think last night’s francophone poetry reading just stirred up more creativity so I feel I have to write or else I’ll explode. I might put up what I wrote two days ago soon, but for now, here’s a poem I just wrote this morning in response to ideas I got while walking across campus. It’s amazing how a strange, unrelated series Continue reading →

Making love

      He woke me from where I had been sleeping with my head in his lap. A few gentle shakes of my shoulder and I was roused enough to extricate myself from against his stomach.

      “Come on, sleepyhead,” he said softly. “Let’s move into the bedroom for this.”

      Blinking a few times, I sat up and rubbed my eyes. He was smiling at me with a playful, Continue reading →
