Previously… Just then, though, they became aware of a low, sweet-edged humming throbbing through the air, slowly building in volume, as some sort of mist (or bits of dust?) spattered down around…
See Previous | See Next The snow has re-arrived! Very muchly. Heavy and wet and very white, and enough of it to bow down the bushes and the tree branches, and to mean that the warmer temperatures immediately following the snow aren’t going to melt all of it at all soon. Looking back 1-2 weeks and 1-2 years seems to be in the firm agreement camp that this snow is how things should be, and the sunny greenery of last…

So, I wanted to do a post that was going to be, sorta kinda, about one of my favorite fairy tales. But then I realized there were a lot of different layers to that, not even necessarily relating to said fairy tale at all, and that what I really need to post about was Video Stores! I spent a non-insubstantial fraction of my formative years in video stores. From the time when I was little and slammed my sister’s hand…
See Previous | See Next Sorry for the late posting! My only excuse is that I was traveling this weekend and that apparently turned my brain to mush. Things are mostly warming up again around here, most of the snow melted again or persisting in huddled clumps here and there. My garden isn’t fooled into thinking its spring quite yet, but the (tough and kind of sharp!) hellebores leaves are evergreen. The dianthus really aren’t, but so far they’ve gotten…
Okay, I don’t know quite how to parse this. I was feeling really out-of-sorts. And then sitting in on the (otherwise unremarkable) weekly status meeting made me feel better?

And what happens when a greedy pig that’s eaten flying fruit flies up…
This is how I know it’s almost February.
See Previous | See Next Still have the snow this week, but things are starting to warm up and get melty again – the sort of weather that usually feels like messy ugh, except this means the moisture is being allowed to seep down into the garden, and so from my perspective is sort of a happy thing. Looking back 1-2 weeks and 1-2 years is really convincing that some amount of snow is definitely the norm for this time…
Well. Like all the ‘best’, most truly boggling and awful of code bugs, this one was extremely simple and stupid and makes me feel like now I ought to get my eyes examined…
