The saga of my sunglasses

So I am really bad about sunglasses. I've never been into them that much - I'll occasionally buy a pair, and then either decide I look silly in them and never wear them, or forget them, or lose them immediately. Never really mattered since I don't care about sunglasses anyway. Well one day while swimming at my aunt's pool, it was awfully bright out and of course I had no ...

OMG

Something today made me think of The Heavenly Horse from the Outermost West by Mary Stanton. I was OBSESSED with that book, and it's sequel as a kid. I was digging around on deviantart today and there's actually FANART. Not a lot, but it's there. The 9 year old in me is overjoyed. I think I need to dig up my copies and re-read.

Halloween is one week away…..

Do I have time to rush-make a complete costume for your Halloween party? You've waited til exactly a week before Halloween to ask, and you want it for 1/10 the price of what I would charge even IF I did commissions? Oh, so now you're asking to borrow one of my costumes?

Code ...

I went home tired, sore, and frustrated every single day. And then the next ...

see-saw

When I was a kid, probably 6 or 7 years old, I had this giant metal see-saw. I mean when I was a kid it looked huge, it had these big handlebars on the sides that probably came up to around my waist if I were standing next to it. At some point I got it in my head that I could jump over that thing. And I did, several times. I'd ...

Voices Carry

I loved the song "Voices Carry" by Til Tuesday when I was a kid. For YEARS I thought they were saying, "Hush, hush, keep it down now, this is Carrie." It wasn't til I was in my teens that I realised it was "voices carry." DUH. And when "Livin La Vida Loca" came out, the line "Lips are devil red" - I thought he was saying, "Lips like deviled eggs."

Things I need to stop doing: automatically assuming the worst about people.

Me & Walt

I love how whenever I get emails from WDW about our reservation, gmail shortens the conversation so it looks like this: Yeh, just me and Walt talking about my vacation, nbd.
