Applying modern American politics to what's written in the Bible, God is clearly a Republican, and for his time, Jesus was clearly a Democrat.
So answer me this: Why are most Jewish people Democrats, and most Christians Republicans? |

Hey all. Since my life on-line has been reduced to video game escapism, I've found Facebook to the better choice for me lately. Facebook's interface often sends me into a rage, but since I'm only capable of quick soundbite posts, it fits my life at the moment.
If you have a Facebook account and want to keep tabs, my Facebook page is at http://www.facebook.com/home.php#/profile.php?id=1170683668&ref=name
Send me a friend request. If you sign up under a name that's different from your LJ account name, let me know your LJ account name so I know who you are.
Thanks all! |

My next door neighbor is slowly wasting away to nothing.
She has no electricity and no running water. I shudder to think where all her waste has been piling up. So far I don't smell anything bad. She's been living this way for two years.
She used to be pleasantly plump, now she's Auschwitz skinny. She's so emaciated, she often needs help getting around.
She outright refuses any help from anyone, and believe me, a lot of people have been trying.
There's pretty much nothing you can do until she becomes so ill it warrants 911 intervention.
It's just tough to watch, is all. |

I'm not sure which is worse, douche bags who are intentionally douche-y, or douche bags who don't realize how douche-y they're being. Probably the ignorant douche bags since you don't ever see it coming. At least with intentional ones, you know what to expect. |

You know you're doing something right as a geek mom when your 2 year old grasps the concept of counting to a hundred and also begs and pleads to go to the bookstore. |

I do wildlife (including pet portraits), anthro (furry), fantasy and Cthulhu Mythos based art. Please do not request anything outside of these subjects. I will draw nudes, but nothing too violent and definitely nothing pornographic.
Full payment upfront. No refunds. Sorry, I've been burned in the past.
Commissions worth $200 and up will include free shipping in the U.S. only.
Time frame for completion of project:
Roughly 6 months for a painting, digital or otherwise, with a full background.

The evolutionary step, or perhaps the next deviant kink? You decide.

Everyone knows that the English language is a totally fubar language. But you never realize just HOW fubar it is until you're teaching your 2 year old son how to speak and spell.
Let's start with the whole homonym thing. Since he wears glasses, I've had to remove the other meaning (plural of glass) from my vocabulary for the time being to keep things clear.
Then we have homophones such as: "My son is turning two/to/too tomorrow." (which is true, btw). I won't go much more into homophones since I'd start to foam at the mouth and wouldn't be able to finish typing.
Ok, now for the meat and potatoes..
I'm watching one of his current favorite cartoons called Word World where animated critters create everything they need just by spelling the word out. Spelling the word chair, for example, morphs the word "chair" into a chair-shaped word. Even the critters are morphed versions of their respective spelled noun.
In one episode, the theme is the "OO" sound, where a kangarOO uses a tOOl to fix a rOOf. In the very next episode, they create book to read. bOOk. Now, the next day, there's a part in the show where they do a little song and dance about the "ST" sound and create a STage and a set of STairs. The episode following that, they build sand castles out of the word castle. caSTles. Are ya'll still with me? Good. Finally, they do an episode on the "OA" sound where a gOAt creates a bOAt and a cOAt. The next day? They go to an oasis. OAsis.
By this time, I'm telling para_cynic to start speaking only German to the kid.
Fuck this English crap. |

The Spawn turns 2 this month, as I turn 40. The kid is awesome, but still no chance of me getting back into art anytime soon. My web design business is all but dried up, too. My only artistic release has been reduced to toddler arts and crafts, and lately he's not into it. Guess things have to get worse before they get better. :-/
Anywho, it's that time again. Time to have a 50% OFF ALL ART PRINTS SALE. This is basically so I can afford to register my car. Happy Birthday from the State of New Hampshire! Wheeee!
Check out my selection of prints here:

Spent 3 days in the Big Room under the Giant Yellow Face with my husband's relatives on the Cape. (Cape Cod, MA)
Managed not to get singed, but more importantly, managed to keep the Spawn from getting singed.
The kiddo had a great time, the hubby, not so much. Turns out family reunions aren't the fairy tale you think they ought to be. Go figure.
Me? I just rode the wave.
Pictures forthcoming. |
