I’ve seen herons eat frogs, fish and slugs.  I have never seen the like of this.

Well, as intelligent as a teenaged boy, anyway….

For Halloween!  A car doorlock made of FAIRY SKULL!: For the car fanciers… I could have posted a picture that looked remarkably like Paul trying to break into the car, but it wasn’t a flattering picture of object or man…

Tonight I bought some more Christmas card fixings (I plan on making my own this year), met with Dax and Paul; took pictures of a white 1963 Signet Valiant RAGTOP with skull detailing and push button tranny;  and went to Dax’ place to pick up more or less the last of Katie’s stuff; collected some [...]

Thank god for the People’s Republic of Berkeley.

Here is Dr. Filk at OVFF (Ohio Valley Filk Fest, the Oscars, Emmys and Nobel Prizes of Filkdom) wearing an earring I MADE FOR HIM.  Scanged from Lady Miss Banjola’s blog.  Warning!  He’d be scary looking if it weren’t for the earring. It sure looks like everybody had an amazing amazing time.  I’ll be going [...]

I continue to be extremely sneaky – my most recent foray into sneakiness was telling my mandolin teacher “Lady Miss Banjola is a GEEENIUS!  Heer, I be showink you…” and then I played Tune Away…..

Best….. smackdown…..ever. Now I show off my brother, Kelsey and Sean. Next, Keith, me and Katie, and Keith and I are wearing the hats we JUST BOUGHT at Edie’s Hats.  I bought a hat from a hat company that’s been in business in England for 250 years; I nearly bought a hat handmade in Montreal [...]

One is a ten second clip of a kinetic sculpture, the other is a minute long edited version of the feeder video I took at nautilus3′s last weekend – it has sound!  It has titles!

Why would anybody be surprised at this news? And why does a newspaper have to do the research…?

The movie doesn’t make a great deal of sense, and there’s about ten minutes during which not a lot happens, but I recommend it because: It’s not a horror film, but the parts that are scary are shudder inducingly creepy; it’s not a comedy but I screamed with laughter three times – and I’ve seen [...]
