perpetual teatime
My grandmother is a bit on the eccentric side. My father always says it’s because she has too much money, but he gets weird about money things so I’m not really sure that’s it.
I love to visit her house. When I was younger I’d play for hours in the backyard. In the garden there’s [...]
I have been trying to write all day and failing.
First I was trying to write in the ever-ongoing Revisionland Scrivener Document of Doom, but I have been looking at the same gap between paragraphs that needs to be sewn together somehow periodically all day and nothing is coming to me.
So then I said to myself, [...]

At first there were complaints about the noise. Not that anyone knows what the noise is, precisely, even though it is rather loud. Whatever it is inside the building, echoing and humming and clicking, remains a mystery.
The bits that spill out onto the surrounding lot are made of stone and glass and wood, pieces without [...]
Once again, Rob Brezsny makes me feel better about my life:
“Jane Austen was the spinster daughter of a clergyman who led an uneventful life,” wrote Geoffrey Wheatcroft in The Guardian. “She just happened to write half a dozen flawless masterpieces, which came perfectly formed, not from experience but from imagination.” Most of us don’t have [...]
Happy Valentine’s Day!
and
Happy Chinese New Year!
Ring in the year of the Tiger with something heart-shaped. And chocolate. Lots of chocolate.

Sting told me if I love somebody I should set them free.
I doubt Sting ever loved anyone with wings. If he did he might rethink such a stupid sentiment.
I suppose the point is to wait for your love to come back to you voluntarily.
I wonder if there’s a difference between setting something free and [...]
Hey, do you like books? Of course you do. Do you like free books? Me too! So you should swing by the wonderful & talented Cindy Pon’s blog and maybe win fabulous UK editions of R.J. Anderson’s books.
(Though truthfully I hope I win, because I’ve been wanting to read these and hey, free books!)
We went to closing night of Sleep No More on Sunday. I stayed away from the main plot this time, I think I only saw the Macbeths proper once or twice. I wandered through bits of Rebecca made more enchanting by having recently watched the Hitchcock film. Hecate was once again quite fond of my [...]
prelude to the hunt
The jewellery is a distraction. Distraction is a key element of the prelude to the hunt.
They never realize that. Shiny objects are highly effective.
Perhaps some buried instinct tells them to run. To hide. But instinct and wisdom are always lost under infatuation and sparkle.
They don’t even notice the arrow until after it [...]
I have been trying all day to come up with coherent things to say about LOST.
I keep ending up with OMGLOST!!!
And then I check the time to see how many hours are left until the S6 premiere. (Just under five & counting.)
We finished our epic re-watch over the weekend. Five seasons in just about two [...]
