I have a lame, hostile pigeon in the back yard. The inside panel of my car door has fallen off, leaving the electronic door switches dangling in mid-air.

Pigeon is still alive, and still pooping, and so by extension must be eating, though it’s hard to tell how much since it keeps spilling the food. It kinda sorta walked to get away from me rather than just flopping when I changed its water, which I take as a good sign. However, […]

It’s the first Seventh Doctor I’ve ever seen, and my feelings are mixed. I like Sylvester McCoy, I like Ace. The monster design was good, and the story itself had a lot of potentially cool points…but it seemed to me to be very badly put together. Watching it, it was […]

The Mighty Pigeon-Slayer struck again this weekend. This time Kathy got Sam to drop the bird before he’d killed it. Sam gave Kathy a stunned and uncomprehending look (“You want me to WHAT? But it will get away!”), and the pigeon made a break for freedom, i.e. flopped into the laundry shed […]

It was thundering loud enough to set off car alarms this morning, and Sam was trying to crawl into my lap.
Condolences to the Stargate-1 peeps. I never watched it, but I know the pain of cancellation.
Coincidentally, I’m reading about the SGA remix mission report kerfuffle, and scratching my head. Correct me if […]

Um… I don’t know. It just happened. Unbeta’d, so it’s nobody’s fault but mine.

We spent much of Sunday clearing junk off the back porch and hauling it out to the curb for pickup, and then scraping the six inches of dirt and dead pine needles off the cement. This afternoon I got home from work to discover that Sam, either bewildered or indignant at our porch-clearing activities, […]

I will answer the comments on my last post, I promise. (I mean, the last serious post.) Work’s cracked down on non-work-related net access, so I’m scrambling to keep up. And for anyone not following the CC thing over on Bad Penny….whoa. It’s not just CC, apparently, who copies huge chunks of […]
