…then I think I found the red-headed step-child. Saturday I braved the crowds and snow and my overall tiredness to hunt down the last of my Christmas presents. I knew exactly what I needed and where to get it, and I’d plotted a course that would make a gas-conservationist proud. There were a few mishaps …

It’s the End of the Fridge as We Know It
Big. News. HUGE. Of refrigerator proportions. Seems my dad placed an ad on Craigslist to relieve himself of the purple appliance, and one hour later he had a taker.

Die, Spambot, Die!
If you are a robot, please stop trying to leave comments on my blog. You will not win. *cue techno-robotic music, then big big explosions* Since Friday I’ve been completely bombarded with spam.

You Held On to Your Hat!
As you can see, my new website is up and running! This site includes my blog AND my design and writing samples. Yes, a couple years ago I decided to separate my writing and design sites, but that proved to be more of an ordeal than it was worth. So until I decide to change …
Post Up at Ermas

The Circle of Life. Or Meat.
*cues theme song to The Lion King* Do you remember the cows? At the time there was a bit of debate as to the fate of the two cows grazing in the field near my house. My mother finally ended the discussion when she announced they were beef cows and wouldn’t be around much longer. …
Oh hi
