  • Holiday havoc

    Holiday To-Do list: 1. Married off my friend Critical Jeff – Check. (I don’t like her, but his options are slim. Until I locate the cute librarian with the heart of gold who wants to adopt a feral barbarian-urban-wolf-child, I’ll let her live.) 2. Pack life for upcoming move to Brooklyn 3. Arrange moving-day war…

  • The horror…. the horror,,,,

    This MUST be read. “Oh I completely forgot about that. Yeah. I was not only afraid of Jed popping out with a knife, I was also afraid of those tarantulas. They were like a big unknown X-factor in the apartment. Normally I’m not very frightened of just godawful messes or rats, but if you throw…

  • “We dream of rain, and the history of the Gun.”

    “Om klim kalikayei namaha. Om kleem kah-lee-kah-yea nah-mah-hah” which does not translate in any literal way to: “Health and Knowledge and Wealth and Power/ Passion and Poems and Sex/ I wear a smile like a leather glove…”* or even: “In the land of the blind: KING/ KING/ KING/ KING/” Some say prayers/ Some say prayers/…

  • About my animal

    My animal has been making a real effort to increase her usefulness/understand and meet my expectations. Over the last month or so, she’s showed me a lot of initiative, a lot of hard work.

  • Made my day:

    If I could just get this reaction every day, I’d be getting somewhere with this “Flagg: Fetish Diva” business: “Then Flagg. Holy shit. “ (From a review of the recent “Sharp, Shiny Things” demo at TES) Whoever wrote that- thank you. You made my morning.

  • Loathing

    Two years or so ago I divested myself of all the D/s mailing lists I was on but the one I own. It was a fine idea, and one I have not regretted- mostly because of the following: ”The walk in beauty, is most real, most required to let go, to have all resistance in…

    (found on Soupsandwich 0445: Wake her up at her house with a flashbang in the bedroom. Scream at her and tell her she’s got “Exactly thirty-fucking-seconds” to get out to the Parade field for PT.

  • There IS a God.

    Share the warmth: http://www.tard-blog.com/ Angelo was walking towards the coat room today, when he clipped one of the classroom tables with his hip. Feeling slighted, he cursed at the table and swung his leg to kick the corner he’d bumped into. He missed the table leg by inches and sent his foot smashing into the…

  • Meme This

    This is the problem with LJ: we all think we are so close, but in actuality we all post the same incestuous, virally shared memes. I’m going to rectify it. I want you to seriously consider why we pass these herpes-pablum thought poison. Something like this should be obvious, but I really have no idea…

  • :deep breath:

    Back. This has been a long, unpleasant few months. The job I had was draining my life, health and strength. I was a walking zombie for most of the summer, most systems shut down into a purely wretched survival groove, which had been deteriorating into a depressed spiral. All the ballast had been thrown overboard…
