Maybe my dream of snow will come true this winter! It’s been snowing all day today, small tiny flakes, but still, it’s starting to stick.

Amidst the wacky dreams I had last night was the nagging thought that I had, at some point, heard Firefly say “well, it snowed last night.” Much of my morning consisted of rolling over to get the sun from glaring directly into my face (without disturbing the cats that were surrounding me like the good

Spent the last couple of hours updating my MovableType archives from my old page. I got from midway through december 1999 to the end of February 2000 done. Basically boring and repetative. Have a text editor (KDE’s kate, so I can use fish://) on one monitor, a web browser in the other, select text, copy,

Just got back from town doing some looking around at various things, the biggest being a new cordless phone. Even with a full nights charge our current one lasts about 30 seconds before it starts it’s low battery beeping, so we went to look for a new phone. Could have gotten a new battery, but
