Not a lot happens in my life that I feel I can talk about publicly! There's my work, but we all know you can't talk about that. We're involved in a politcal thing that, if life were like an episode of Monk, would surely get us all killed. There's people in my thoughts who wouldn't want me mentioning them.

Therefore, here is a picture of a sheltie!



Also, I am mildly curious today about the fate of numberonemusic.com. I always kind of figured it was a scam, and now it's been missing for two days. My husband's band had a site up there. We gave them money. Oh well. It was a small price to pay for a couple months of him feeling that his band actually had fans. I feel it *should* have fans, but that is just me.

Great. I've been looking for that shirt ever since I visited.

I hope you didn't give too much money to the other site. Maybe they're about to launch a new site too? Probably not.

Well, the site is back I guess. I still think it's fake. When you post questions on their forum that seem to hint at the fakeness of the whole thing, they delete the questions. Now the forum itself is missing. Maybe it'll come back too. *shrug*

That's my shirt, silly... I was surprised Phil looked so handsome in a human shirt. He's pretty small.

Mystery Halloween costume

This might look like two guys in ugly clothes, but in reality it is a very nerdy Halloween costume. Can anyone figure it out? Edit: Steve West figured it out, answer is in the comments. Go »

Our dog is smart

Our sheltie, Philip, is really smart. Here is his latest Oscar-worthy film, where he shows off his ability to mimic Darrell doing the following actions: turn a circle, stretch, sneeze, lie down, roll over (partway), hop, and speak: link Philip also knows how to read a few words, kind of, though I think he gets bored with it :-). Currently he's in school for agility, which entails learning how to run around a course jumping hurdles and using tunnels and seesaws in a prescribed manner. Go »

New Camera

I didn't realize you could get a digital camera for $15 now... Once I became aware of this fact, I had to have one! Darrin got rid of his camera phone and this will serve the same purpose. Go »

Our first Con?

Darrell and I are thinking of going to this: http://www.valleycon.com/. We have never been to such an event before, and it is kind of expensive, but: A. Londo is one of our favorite TV characters ever B. Go »

Crawlspace

Darrell just ordered an Atari on ebay. It just felt good to get annoyed with my mom first :) The guys are so excited looking over all the additional Atari games they could buy. I know it's kind of stupid to be buying that kind of thing instead of the hugely complex games that exist now, but Darrell said he wants the crawlspace to be a fun place without the kind of long, complicated game that can cause painful obsessions.

The British know how to make TV

Correction to my earlier post - we have now seen almost to the end of season 2 of QAF (Darrell decided to watch it after all) and it seems only season 1 is really amazing. Perhaps it gets better again later, I don't know. Is it any coincidence that season 1 is the one copied almost directly from the British version? Go »
