It’s beginning to look a lot like “damn it, not this again”-mas… After a while of vacillation, work began today on the new maQLu album. Well, a new album of some sorts, we’ll see if it goes under the maQLu banner or not when I get closer to the...

So… it’s Saturday… time for another blog… As I posted on Monday, for now I’ve put Under My Skin on hiatus. Afterwards, I was starting to think maybe I made a mistake, but oh well. Not enough of a mistake to make me feel like writing a new episode...

Well, it’s Saturday, and more importantly, it’s the day after Walpurgisnacht, which passed with no major calamities this year, so we’ll call that a win. At least for me. I do hope the slug bait pellets I scattered in the garden last night caused some major calamities for those...

So, as the title says, no matter what the calendar says, it isn’t really spring until we pass the last average frost date. Which is April 10th here, and the 14 day forecast shows no sign of any later surprise frosts. In fact, I’ve been able to forego my...

It’s that time of the week… Well, I heard back from the local university, weeks after I decided I didn’t want to waste money going, lol… accepted, of course, with a shitload of transfer credits (as far as the university is concerned, I’m straight into third year, though the...

Most of my productivity seems to have been outside in the garden this week. I’ve been bitching about my squirrel issues, which seem to be done for now (fingers crossed!). One of the things I’ve been mindful of is making sure there isn’t any large or sturdy branch within...

That time of the week again: the Saturday life update blog. Well… let’s see here… Zamo was right about squirrels. Dad’s been thwarting the squirrels in various spots, but somehow they’ve still been getting in. I haven’t heard them in the attic of the house in the last few...

First up, an update about the whole returning to university thing: Yeah, forget that. LOL… I mentioned a bit about this on the last episode of Under My Skin, but the decision is now final. I started having doubts last week, though both my brother and my best friend...
