Squee!!! Prose just had a baby! His name is Pyrrian Drakus Cassells and he is apparently 21 inches long and weighs 7 lbs and 1 oz, and from the little cell phone picture I’d say he has the cutest little monkey face I’ve ever seen, and such dark hair! He’s got a full head of [...]
I think I could just about handle everything that’s happening to Martin-cat if my mother wasn’t going all psycho-pants over it. I know that it’s emotional for her, because it’s only been just over a year since her mother died of a stroke, and now her cat has had a stroke, which is bringing up [...]
My mama’s cat, the kitten we got when I was thirteen, had a stroke this morning. I’m…coping, and my mama is a basketcase. I’d called her to find out what time we were going to meet for drinks (to celebrate the election) and instead found her sobbing, and on her way to pick him up [...]
I know I shouldn’t have been surprised by wedding presents, since they are kind of traditional and all, but honestly, I wasn’t expecting anything, and I was shocked that anyone would think to have gotten us anything. My father is an especially interesting case. In the month leading up to the ceremony, he was trying [...]

There are a couple posts I’ve been mulling over in my head for a few weeks now, but I never seem to get the chance to sit down with my computer in a quiet room to write them. I was thinking about audiences (particularly audiences that are drawn up of fans of an internet-based artist, [...]
Well, I’m back from Arizona. Somehow it’s always hard to find that quiet moment after an experience to sit down and reflect and tell stories. I haven’t even been home for 24 hours yet, and there’s already so many things that I have to take care of. Why does it seem like everything has to [...]
Well, I’m home. Maybe when I’ve had a few hours to myself to think for a bit I’ll be able to write an interesting piece on why families are both a help and a hindrance to trying to understand someone, but right now I’ve got laundry to do, and the cat’s made a mess of [...]
