“Babs’ 9-year-old daughter, Bana, was the first to approach the body, followed by Babs’ mother, Alpha, 43. Bana sat down, held Babs’ hand and stroked her mother’s stomach. Then she sat down and laid her head on Babs’ arm.” – Gorillas hold ‘wake’ for group’s leader
Is it just me, or is this really sad? Am I pitiful because a little tear came to my eye about a dead gorilla?
If you haven’t seen the Salad Fingers series yet, it’s time you started. That’s the link to the first one; then check the drop-down menu to watch the rest. Please do not watch immediately before going to bed. You’ll be disturbed.
Speaking of disturbing, Hitler goes disco.
A really cool optical illusion – download the video.

No matter how small you think the world is, it’s half that size.
I’m getting the Christmas spirit. Look out. I even have a fruitcake recipe, just waiting for me to use it.
Not much of note happening lately. Except for my in-laws’ attic catching on fire last night, which was definitely ungood. The girls brought home some grippe from hell from preschool and I got sicker than anyone. We went to see The Incredibles this afternoon, and it was really most excellent. It’s like Atlas Shrugged for Tots. I finally got to play with my new rifle, which I won at Gunstock. The trigger was too stiff to bumpfire it though.
Does anyone even read this still, my poor neglected blog?
I took a deep breath just as I was about to drink from my freshly-poured coke and realized that I was out of breath afterwards. I inhaled nothing but CO2.
Yes, I am alive! I’ve been horribly busy lately and my time has been taken up with two major projects:
Gunstock was a 3 day shooting event just east of Waco that I did a great deal of planning on and helped to run.
Dread House was an Alternate Reality Game that 5 other people and I put on over the course of several months. We started planning in March, launched it in July, and wrapped it today. It was an incredible experience and I was so fortunate to work with the talented people behind the scenes. I got to practice my web design skills (I designed the pages here, here, here, and here) and writing skills (like the stories on here). I’m already going a little nuts without a project to do.
Anyway, so I’m around, just been underground and swamped.
We had to put Maddie to sleep on Monday. Her kidney failure had made her really sick. Max was quite depressed and so we got him a kitten who is not yet named. Today I heard them both upstairs doing that feline victory cry thing and I thought it was because they were playing. Turns out they weren’t – they killed a scorpion in the bathroom.
The new kitten is a little girl, an ebony ticked tabby Oriental Shorthair. She’s got stunning green eyes and is absolutely lovealicious. She and Max are getting along smashingly.
BTW if you’re interested in kid pics, I’ve got some here.
Larry is having a bad day at the office, what with the Farm Sluts email his friend sent him.
