Have you ever seen the sun look this predatory? Sometimes, my full-spectrum studio lighting is not a good thing. I tend to spend a lot of my waking hours at my studio table. I work on art here, and I keep my laptop here, so I’m pretty much here whenever I’m at home. If I’m watching [...] So, I had a doctor’s appointment today. Since I always wind up being late getting to this particular doctor, I frequently mark my calendar so that the appointment reads as 15 minutes earlier than it actually is. So today, I was eating my lunch, minding my own business, when I looked at the clock and [...] After my art lesson the other day, I stashed a few checks in my pocket like a usually do. Usually this isn’t a problem, and the checks mingle with odd receipts, and bits of cash, and my cell phone, to become what my sister terms a “pocket wad”. That’s right, we’re ladies!

And remember how I broke that promise, betraying your trust in me, as well as my own integrity? Could I get [...] Thanks to Twitter, I just saw this article from Science News about the rising incidence of Adderall poisoning among cats. Poisoning is much more common in dogs, because they’re pretty omnivorous. Cats are generally more discriminating. However, there is something about Adderall XR that cats love — they don’t just nibble it, they scarf down the [...] I got in from France on Saturday night. I’m still pretty jet-lagged, but I’m recovering slowly. As much as I freaked out in the weeks leading up to my trip, I’m proud to say it was a well-organized success. I remembered my underwear, and my passport, and my meds. I even remembered some [...] March 3rd is World Dyscalculia Day (see how it’s 3/3, so no matter how you order the digits, it doesn’t get screwed up?). What is dyscalculia, you ask? Well, it’s kind of like the Jermaine Jackson of the dyslexia family. Think “math dyslexia” and you’ll have a pretty good grasp on it. Or, check out [...] |
