Bo has chosen a new book for us to investigate over at the Dark and Stormy Book Club!
Bo has picked Philip Dick’s Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep. If that sounds familiar to you, that’s because it’s the book that inspired Blade Runner (which, by the way, is one of Mr. Chili’s all-time favorite [...]

Today is the last day of the term at the college, and I’m up to here in grading. What I’m really telling you is that I’ve got nothing of substance for you today because my mind is elsewhere. That being the case, I offer you this: Jeff Dunham. This guy cracks me [...]

My biological parents are back in the area code.
I don’t have a relationship with my biological parents anymore. Believe me: this is best for everyone involved, me especially. When I did have a relationship with these people, it was strained and abusive, and when I finally worked up the strength to break out [...]

Ten DVDs I’ve bought but have not yet watched.
My favorite video store occasionally runs what I affectionately call “looting sales.” Usually, the banners proclaim FIVE DVDs FOR TWENTY DOLLARS!!
I mean, really: how can you NOT?!

I’m a wordy geek, is what I’m sayin’.
I get to drive by some fields almost every day - they’re on the road between my house and the next big town over. Every year, the fields get mowed and the hay gets baled into these huge rounds. Some years, the rounds get loaded on to trucks [...]

Yesterday morning, the second installment of the Dark and Stormy Book Club Podcast was recorded. In it, we discussed and critiqued Margaret Atwood’s The Blind Assassin. Go here to listen, then head on over to the website to [...]

Thanks for the extension, Everyone! I’ve read the document and have a pretty good grasp on it, I think. Away we go!
My memory is such that a lot of my childhood is just gone. There are bits and flashes, but I have really no cohesive, coherent memories of any time before, say, [...]

My best friend had a birthday on Wednesday, which we celebrated when she came to visit me today.
I’m not sure that I can adequately describe the place WeedWoman holds in my heart. Despite my practice and skill in manipulating language, I’m never quite satisfied that the way I feel comes through in the words I [...]

Another post from Auntie:
At this point, I should really start my own blog. I really don’t feel like I have enough time and soon, I’ll have less (editor’s note - my sister is going to be going to college in January!!!). Anyway, would you please post this as a follow up to the first one [...]

Last week, Beanie had a hum-dinger of a nightmare. It drove her out of her own bed and into ours and, the next day, she was able to recall the high points of the dream. I reminded her that it was just that - a dream - and that she gets to [...]
