Site updates
I added some stuff to the site, including OpenID authentication, and sporked the popup windows. Let me know if you find any bugs. What I did: Pulled out the only PHP page–the front one–which was only running browser detection to serve up the Netscape 4...If you ever want me dead… ;)
So, last night, around 1 or 2, my back hurt. I have a little plastic tub where I have various creams and such. There’s one bottle in there that I bought, noticed that the last ingredient was 0.25% Capsaicin, and have avoided ever since. See, I had to go to the...What’s Left
What I have left from my best friend for the last 14 years: 1 box of cat ashes 1 cat tooth, pulled by the vet tech on January 8. 5 x-rays: 3 dental, 2 full-body Photos Memories It’s more than I have for my other dead kitties, but it’s not...New story in circulation.

I was talking to the SO in the car this morning on the way to work about our respective writing projects. He thinks that the problem I’m having with the story formerly for the cliché challenge is that it’s not a short story, it’s a novel....Alas, alack, and woe.
