Exhaustion!
The ferrets got a playtime last night…something like 2am to 3:30am (yay weekend+vacation!). I got up today at 11am. And Minion and Jack-jack were both awake. So I snagged them and a very sleepy Ysabell and took them in for another playtime. So another hour and a half almost for them. Put them back in [...]

Pan-seared steak plus sauce
This recipe is mostly derived from Alton Brown and Good Eats. Primarily the “Steak your Claim”, “Tender is the Loin”, and “Hitting The Sauce” episodes.
I picked up some cheap red-tag steaks at Food Lion on Monday. Red tags simply mean the sell-by date is a day or two off, and the steak is [...]
Creamed Corn Recipe
This recipe is derived from what my grandmother (from my mom’s side of the family, aka Mommom) taught me about creamed corn. The credit primarily goes to her, with side credits to Alton Brown of Good Eats (where I’m positive I picked up the bowl-in-a-bowl idea for easier milking, and of course for getting [...]
Minion-Watch, Day 5
Minion is almost his old self again. Today is the last scheduled day for his medicines, and he’s been eating (and going potty) more often. He’s also been much more active, leading to a medium-length play session last night with Jack and Ysabell. He still seems more loving on occasion, willing to just sit in [...]
Minion-Watch, Day 2
Minion is still doing ok. He’s spent a lot of time sleeping, even for a ferret. He wasn’t interested in much playtime, aside from a short walk around the bedroom last night, which while abnormal isn’t a bad thing; we’re to limit his physical activity for several days while he recovers.
He’s not been very enthusiastic [...]
Ferret malarkey and new, old games.
So, last night when I arrived home from work, I was greeted as per usual by 3 romping ferrets in their playpen. I picked them up, one by one, to say hello. Minion was acting a bit odd (we think he was developing a hairball, since he’s been shedding like mad). He [...]
I need motivation…
I want to write more. I keep having all these ideas, but I can never bring them out well enough that I feel comfortable writing them. I want to write something sci-fi based, but it has a strong psychological undercurrent to it…problem is, every single ‘gimmick’ I come up with for it has already been [...]
On childhood Tetris viewings…
I was complimented on my brick-stacking ability while we were unloading my truck tonight. All those hours of watching my mom destroy tetris as a child had to pay off in some way, right?
Of course, its equally possible all those hours spent playing Stronghold and building castles affected it somewhat too. Videogames are [...]
