Words are little clamps we put on thoughts to stop the bleeding.

Winning at Solitaire is like having your faith in humanity restored. It only lasts until the next deal.

MtM Lessons of Solitaire

When you speak of "thinking outside the box" you ignore one very important thing: The box is yours. You created it.

In reality, there is no box.

NO! I will NOT lie down and fall asleep . . . . . *unintelligible muttering fades off*

Wow, I just hit a website that totally wants to stick its finger up my ass before showing any content. Unbefuckinglievable, do they think web browsers have cooties?

They can shove their precious "web property" in the rear bitbucket.

My Farcebork app blocklist. Haven't had to slamdunk one of these for a long time now. Blessed peace.

My awesome antique boar tusk, filled, drilled, and drying. Soon it will be the hottest new thing in wearable origami tools.

I used die stone, a very hard dental plaster, to fill it. Love the stuff.

What would make me happier:

Looking out my kitchen window and seeing a fox chowing down on a chipmunk.

Ugh. I can't get up after 5 hours of sleep and then go back for more. And I can't stay up until nap overtakes me because I can't let nap overtake me until I've gone to the farm market and I have to do that as early as possible because it's going to get rainy, and UGH I can't have coffee until after that because don't ask.

So I'll just get by on 5 hours of (thin) sleep as long as I can. Or go without tomatoes.

It's a question of what I need most, sleep or tomatoes. Time will decide.

It looks like the Borrowers left a few things behind when they moved out of the house next door.

Orange fungus still thriving

What I want to know is where the heck are they when I'm overrun by chipminks. Come on, guys, lots of did-din in my back yard!

I wish they wouldn't do this, but it looks cool today

Bejeweled sedums

Webmail?

And there's nothing but water hanging on the clothesline

Even the glochids of this mini Opuntia have dewdrops

A proper equinox fog

I have accomplished sweet F A today, and now it's origami time already. 🙄

My latest salt-cured meat experiment is beginning to simmer. Dinner could be interesting. I'll have a side of wild mushrooms anyway.

They can sit on their nasty old Windows server until they fart. I think their security still sucks rotten duck eggs.

I had a CafePress account that never really took off. Now, 7 months after a security breach, I get an email about it. So I dig around and find my password in a file so old I'm lucky I remembered the password for it.

Cool. Now I can log in and . . . erm, where the hell do you log in?

Eventually I found a way to make a login screen appear. Then fought my way through the password change.

Then I closed my account.

Never. Going. Back.
