The cat is watching me type from the new perch just above and behind the computer’s moniter. It wasn’t where we had intended to put it, mostly as it’s in the dead center of the room, just a few feet in front of the wood stove. But from the moment we sat it […]

Cat is here, I am here, bed is here. And I got the network up with minimal assistance. Hell, even the majority of the major appliances are in and functioning. Woo.
There remain many boxes to be emptied. The old house is still grimy and containing a few odds and ends including […]

The list of stuff to do “after I get done with all this shit” is getting very long indeed. Packing cannot happen fast enough, especially with 2/3 of the equation busy making moon-eyes at itself and sucking back endless sticks o’ death. And my fucking teeth hurt, which is really the thing about […]

When you spend a few days where you wake up and think, “Hey, noone tried to kill me in my reverie. Yay.” and you feel a bit surprised about that, it tends to wear on the spirit. We are all a bit more reserved and pious these days, now that the major threat […]

We are now on the road out of Mulhurand at a breakneck speed. Suffice to say, Guy’s life on the edge led him to make many unstalble deals, and our successful selling of his property aroused some old debtors. Debtors who also happened to be town guards. That we baited into a […]

Finally it appears that all the boxes have made their way into the new house. Friends who come to visit remark that it’s not so much a home these days as it is a skinner maze, with Chinese food and a great big deck sitting in for the cheese reward.
