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
Posted in Amy, blogging, hobbies, tagged Amy, DIY, hobbies, hooping, hoops on December 16, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
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. [...]
Not On Facebook! An Exercise in Irony
Posted in Amy, blogging, Rants, tagged Amy, blogging, Facebook, facebook issues, family, Rants on February 22, 2009 | 1 Comment »
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. [...]
Happy Holidays, or whatever

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 [...]
Smart People & Insatiable Curiosity

I like smart people. Indeed, I find political discourse so tiring because it’s dominated by people who are loud rather than smart. I’ll spare you a list of examples, I’m sure you have more than a few in mind yourself. So it’s always a treat when I run across someone who is smart and [...]
Idiot Of The Day: Marianne

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. [...]
Cut-&-Pasting Backposts
Posted in blogging, Held Hostage, Lafayette, tagged backposts, blogging, cut & paste, formatting problems on October 19, 2008 | 1 Comment »
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 [...]
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. [...]
Rant, rant, rant . . . .

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 [...]
