My Birthday Present

Y’all, I have a coelacanth. Roomie got me a coelacanth! I’m not really up for explaining the sea life tonight. Here’s a post where I talked about it ages ago. Here’s the current bed lineup. I have learned, over the years, that the more sea life in your bed, the less room for you, so […]

Love Robotech, adore Gundam, freaking CHEER when Escaflowne charges into the fight. I would steal this in a heartbeat. I also love my

Checking In

From 2012-12-27 Sedona, AZ In short, Sedona is amazing. This was the view from the balcony at the lovely resort where we stayed, Sedona Summit. In long…well, no, I don’t have any energy for a long retelling of my adventures tonight. Click on the date under the picture for a few more pictures. I haven’t
