In the absence of the energy to do an original post of my own, I have reposted more installments of Anguiano Held Hostage.  These are the first-hand stories of a man trapped in Hell. Day 148 talks about food, our then-new cats, and The Boondocks comic strip (which later became crappy, but I liked it [...]

Hooping

A couple weeks back, I ventured into the cold and spent the better part of a Saturday shaking my torso in an intermittently successful attempt to keep a PVC hoop from hitting the ground at my feet.  The occasion was a free hooping workshop, organized by our friend Marie and taught by Lara of SuperHooper.

Breaking News:  I’m not on Facebook!!! There’s kind of a story there.  See, blogging requires a certain level of devotion that I evidently don’t have.  Part of the problem is that just a general change of scheduling, so that I’m preoccupied with other things at the times that I had previously spent on the computer.  [...]

Several weeks since I blogged anything.  Sorry about that.  I’ve backposted Anguiano Held Hostage:  Day 130 and Day 135 by way of making up for it.  Day 130 is about having a household of newly adopted cats, in which I sound uncharacteristically sweet.  Day 135 also discusses pets, but more to the point is a meditation on the [...]

Bob Barr is a nut.  For those who aren’t instantly familiar with Bob Barr, here’s a recent New Yorker profile of the man.  Frankly, I think the man is a nutbar, but that’s my typical view of libertarians.  There’s a wide degree of variety amongst libertarians themselves as to what constitutes “libertarianism”.  For a more extended [...]

Well, Marianne over at Conservative Amazons has decided to take her little ball and go home:  she’s deleting all my comments, period.  She posted this by way of justification . . . Comment policy: If you’re hear to attack rather than discuss, or indulge in any ad hominen attacks, you will have your comments deleted.  [...]

Finally fixed the cut-and-paste issue I was having with backposts.  For some reason, when I pasted text copy into the ’Post’ box, I was getting changes in font or size (or both), sometimes in mid-paragraph.  No matter how I tried to re-format the original material or repaste, I kept having the same problem:  what started as clean [...]

Bugger

Well, I’ve been trying to do some backposting, but WordPress and Microsoft Word don’t want to play nice together.  I’ve been getting all kind of changes in font and size when I try to paste something from one to the other.  After trying a few things to get around the issue, I’m giving up for now.  [...]

Wow, I’ve been way more active in blogging in the last few weeks, and yet almost none of it is in my own blog.  It’s that pissing-me-off thing, I guess.  Aside from a few comments on random blogs here and there, I’ve more recently done some commenting at Conservative Amazons.  This woman is rabidly conservative  [...]
