Damn, but I love it when a character just up and hands you the perfect solution to a problem…

I feel all tired and bluggy today. LJ seems to feel about the same way. If you think I’m ignoring you, it’s just because I keep getting error pages.
We went to the Renaissance Fair yesterday, and had a good time. I got a couple of pieces of jewelry, and a fox […]
Pear-cheese pie
Posted in General on Feb 20th, 2007
The recipe I use is adapted from an old Better Homes and Gardens cookbook. The original recipe calls for a graham cracker crust and a meringue topping, but I don’t like either. So I leave off the meringue and use the basic pie crust recipe from The Joy of Cooking.
Sift together

Foiled at every turn

OK, so I hit the Turbotax website, and get to the part where they ask you about interest. Now, in the past, this has always been an area which I have blithely skipped over. Interest? Moi? It is to laugh! And so I do, long and heartily, hahahahaha! Except now I […]
Over the years I’ve had (and still have) many wonderful beta readers. Unfortunately, in the last few years, many of them have either drifted out of the fandom or have acquired real-world responsibilities that preclude them dropping everything to pick stylistic nits for me. So after dithering about this for a long time, […]
To Grandmother’s House, Chapter 4c
Posted in General on Feb 18th, 2007
(Author’s note: if a paragraph or two in here looks familiar, it’s because I decided that it would work better here than in the place I originally had it.)
“Be fair. We had no way of predicting any Slayer would take up with someone like him.” The Guardian eyed Spike. “At least, not for […]
Another Joss interview

Ok, you know that person who used to do that jamestranslate or jmtranslate or whatever it was, and interpret The Marsters’ occasionally cryptic utterances for the masses? Someone should totally do a josstranslate for all these interviews on the comic. Though I’m pretty certain most of them would come out to “Stop […]
Before & After Meme V

I realized that I got my timeline mixed up for one of the previous installments - Connie’s born in 2008, not 2007. So for the Valentines’ Day one, pretend it said 2008.
The first one of these is actually an excerpt from a short, funny porn-with-plot I intend to write some day, entitled “Buffy and […]
Book sale!

Did not sleep at all Fridaqy night - OK, I must have dozed off now and then, because there were several hours I don’t recall hearing the clock chime, but it sure felt like I didn’t sleep. This was partly due to the heat wave that replaced our cold snap (we still have all […]
Noah’s Arc
Posted in General on Feb 10th, 2007
In the last week or so, I’ve happened upon several posts bringing up subjects upon which I am tempted to argue. Sometimes I’ve given in to the temptation; other times I’ve more wisely hit the back button and strolled away. And in every case I’ve asked myself “Why in the heck are […]
