As I was saying previously, we gave the bunnies away. They were cute, they were sweet, but they were high-maintenance. If you want to read about their arrival in our lives, I’ve back-posted those letters here and here. Amy tells me that it’s a heart-warming story, and she recommends you read it.
Bear in mind that [...]

Heavy Sigh
Posted in blogging, pets, tagged blogging, pets on June 15, 2008 | No Comments »
Tired. Haven’t posted much in recent weeks for several reasons. First and foremost, of course, is my ongoing status as a lazy bastard. Others include working on of other writing projects, dealing with assorted work and home issues, and most recently a looooong drive to deliver the bunnies to a new home. Of course, you [...]
Yep, life is a big barrel o’ crap right now.
As I type this, my wife Amy is in Prescott, Arizona. She’s trapped in a house with her mother, Penny, and her mother’s significant other, Roger, with no escape until her flight home on Thursday. I, on the other hand, am trapped in our home with three birds, [...]

So we found ourselves the proud new owners of two rabbits. Well, more chagrined than proud, but you get the point. Amy immediately started researching rabbit care on the internet, and I immediately started playing video games. She fairly quickly figured out that our new pets were miniature lop-eared rabbits, found a couple of [...]

“Honey, what’s that under your car?”
In the last couple of years, I’ve gotten interested in the notion of the dramatic climax and how it’s become misunderstood in popular culture. If I recall correctly from 8th grade English class, the dramatic climax is that tipping point where the action is irrevocably committed to a [...]

It’s been a gray and overcast week. We’ve had a bit of rain but mostly it’s just been threatening. The sun’s been out today for the first time in several days, but mostly I’ve spent it inside. My daily routine consists primarily of trying to keep Amy on task with her thesis. Her classes [...]
Anguiano Held Hostage: Day 39

It’s been a quiet week here in Lafayette. Of course, I had to zip out of town midweek to Fort Walton but everything seems to have sorted out. Did I miss anything while I was gone? Did we have another tax cut? Well, anyway, now I’m back and returning to my regular schedule of [...]

Yep, in this town, you gotta hit the ground napping. The house has been a bustling hive of rearranging, dithering, semi-unpacking, and generally non-productive motion that nevertheless provides a comfortably pleasant buzz of nearly useful activity.
“But,” you might say, barging in discourteously and interrupting me in the midst of writing my letter [...]
