Getting back on the [insert mythological animal here].
I had two stories in progress when my cat got sick in December, and I hadn't touched either of them since until today. Well, I just worked on one a little, and I really like it. It's also 2700 words so far and I don't think it's even half-finished, although I could be...
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 stylesheet....
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 ER at...
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 enough.

Immortal Gifts invites readers to re-evaluate the meanings of things such as life, death, freedom, hate and love from the first page. Katherine Villyard manages to capture some of the most poignant questions we ask ourselves as we go through our individual lives. Is it worth being able to live forever if, in the end, we’ll lose the ones we love to mortality? Is Death really the ultimate enemy to life, or is death just life’s misunderstood old friend? To stop hate, do we need to restrict our freedoms? This book makes readers ask and answer tough questions not only about the characters and plotline, but about their own beliefs, understandings, and dreams.
