Crying wolf, disposals, and dye

Skipped writing one of these last week because there wasn’t really much going on, and even this week was kinda low key. Well, there was my father going on one of his frequent bouts where he insists he’s dying and about to have a heart attack… but then instead...

Friday Stitch Day Update: October 29, 2021

Kinda a slow week on this front, kinda not… let’s see what I got done or chipped away at. First up, knitting. The only thing I’ve worked on was “Interlude” by Shannon Dunbabin, because the end is in sight and I want to plow ahead and try to get...

Weekly reading list: October 26, 2021

I think I’d said I would start posting a book of the week blog again, but then again that would require me to actually finish reading something every week so as to write it up, lol… And like most other areas of my life, I jump around between about...

Well, that didn’t go as planned…

This greeted me Saturday morning on Instagram: And despite a lot of heart emojis, mostly from cat ladies, the comments were a sea of puke and shit emojis: Oopsie… they even got rebuked from the left. And you can tell by what I clicked the hearts on what I...

Monday Memorabilia/Collections: Lemax Witches Tower

The Zamo the Destroyer Show #222

New episode of The Zamo the Destroyer Show: After snooping through Technical Support Monkey’s phone, Zamo forbids Chimpette from hanging out with Squeaky Simon… even though she claims to have never met him. In other news, Pierre got a public art commission in Idaho and Zamo thinks there might...

Poem: Liftoff

flight/strides floating in the night sky bounding, leaping propulsion til my lungs burst then pause and do it again until I can no longer I long to feel that again seemingly weightless breaking free of the earth and my own resistance launched into indigo and lit by orange glow...

Friday Stitch Day update: October 22, 2021

No finishes this week, but so it goes. Let’s see here… we’ll start with some dye jobs. I got these plain white with black stars pillowcases at Homesense a while back and got around to dyeing them: And there was a bit more aida dyeing as well: There were...

Monday Memorabilia/Collections: Lemax Cave Sweet Cave

This week, a small and simple piece that is now the only retired piece I have, Cave Sweet Cave: It’s a battery powered piece that I keep on my bedside table for a little dose of Spooky Town. The two vampires wobble back and forth (they’re on small hanging...
