    Empty Hallways

    There is no point to this image, other than I was checking to see if I’d set up the pre-loaded div up right at Mfop2. It seemed to come over to the blog normally, so…

    Lava Lamp Safety Drill

    A man who lived in a trailer in Kent, WA had a lava lamp that he decided to heat up on his stove (probably because the light-bulb heating element was busted, also probably because he salvaged it from somebody’s trash). So he put the sealed glass lamp – it’s actually a bottle, complete with bottle-cap lid that is normally covered by a metal topper – on the burner. After it exploded (an inevitable event) he was found dead by his parents with a large shard of glass in his chest. Our Lava(TM) lamp is quite safe and still catching odd…

    Dark, Darker, Darkest

    One of the “joys” of winter is that not only is it bleak and cold, it’s also dark. So today, 3 whole weeks until the longest night/shortest day of the year, it’s already fully dark by about 420pm. It didn’t help any that it actually was very gloomy and overcast at 3pm today. My favorite seasons, in order, are: Fall Spring Summer Winter Winter moves up in the rankings when it’s pretty and fun, such as during or just after a good snowstorm (so long as I’m somewhere warm and dry, rather than stranded somewhere). It moves down when it’s…

    When The CSS Shadows Fall

    I screwed around trying to figure this out before, and then I settled for setting slightly differently colored grey borders and said “the hell widdit,” because the best method required me to wrap an extra div around the image tags. Then I realized my husband David was using the exact same method, and that it wasn’t such a big deal learning to deal with the div, as it were. So here goes. Will it work? I don’t know. UPDATE: Holy CRAP! It works! I used the same method I’d looked at before, David’s does pretty much the same thing but…

    Schizo-Google

    My Google ads are politically schizophrenic at the moment. I added them back in, and took out the Bookqueue thing that I was never updating, and will think about putting in a Bookqueue static page for all the stuff I’ve got in the database so far. Later. I’ve got other blogfish to fry.

  • Parish: Holy Moly (ECUSA)

    Episcopal Parish Services

    Just wanted to bookmark Episcopal Parish Services‘ site for later. I’m going to be doing something for (shudder) evangelism. I’m going to call it outreach and welcoming, thanks. I’ve got an idea for organizing a monthly or quarterly parish dogwalk, and wondered if Episcopal bandanas are available anywhere…

    Turkey Day Dilly Bread!

    This post is rated “R.” Phew, had un petit crise earlier today when I started to make the onion dill bread – I had purchased cake yeast (that is, it’s pressed into a cake and has to be refrigerated, not that it’s just for making cakes). And when I opened the wrapper, there were three or four different kinds of fungus on it. At the time, I had already started cooking/melting the first few ingredients, so I had to turn everything off and run around for a while hollering “fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck FUCK.” Then I got…
