Photostream is Up

I finally got it to work!  My new Flickr Photostream is up and running.  The bad news is, all I had to test it with were pictures of my adorable cats, so if you’re not a cat lover, too bad for you.  The good news is, I’m hoping to start filling the stream with some [...]

Vocabulary: Defenestrate

My buddy, Paris, is fond of this word.  Does it make me a little twisted that I think it’s funny the English language actually has a word for this?
Defenestrate (de·fen·es·trate) (dē-fěn’ĭ-strāt’) (verb) – To throw out of a window.
As in:  "If you don’t stop singing that Paris Hilton song in this apartment, I will be [...]

Moving Sucks (and Other Obvious Complaints)

[Insert growling coyote noises here.  Angry rants to follow.]
Moving Sucks.  I know that’s pretty obvious, but I felt I had to share anyway.
You know what sucks even more?  Time Warner Cable.  What?  A cable company giving someone a hard time?  Yeah, I know. Big shocker.  How are these assholes still in business?  Oh right.  Because [...]

Moving Soon

I know, I know.  I haven’t exactly been bursting with activity on this blog lately.  I’m moving this weekend, and my mind is kind of on that.  You know how it is.  Rental trucks, packing, what to do with the cats.  (Trying to get my two cats in their carriers is stressful in itself.)  Doesn’t [...]

[Pink Raygun Review]
In honor of the new FOX series, Drive, which premiered this month and features Nathan Fillion (Captain sexy-droolworthy-fangirl-eyecandy—I mean Captain Malcolm Reynolds from Firefly) and Tim Minear (Firefly/Angel writer extraordinaire), and also in honor of the new Buffy Season 8 comic book that has recently been published, I decided it was only right [...]

Vocabulary: Troglodyte

Remember those vocabulary tests we had to take in school?  I remember lists and lists of words that I tried to memorize in order to get a better score on my SATs.  Can barely remember a one, but I’m hoping they are lodged securely in my subconscious, just waiting to jump out should I need [...]

Editrix in Chief

Sorry I haven’t been on a lot recently. I’m working on a rough website/blog for a buddy of mine who is launching his comic book title soon.  Between that and my day job, I’ve been a little distracted.  Okay, between that, my day job, and the time I’ve spent sneaking onto Second Life. There, I’ve [...]

Trickster Live! (Sorta)

That’s right folks.  I’m now live and in living color.  Kind of.  All the talk at ACRL got me wanting to try this Second Life thing out, so I now officially have a Second Life avatar.  I go by the name of Trickster Kidd in the Metaverse.  Take a gander at the pics.  Aren’t [...]

Trickster’s Library

For those bookworms and readaholics out there, I’ve added a little section on the blog called "From the Stacks."  It has reviews of books and stories and such.  I’ve also added a "Digital Library" catagory for any stories I like and come across online, as well as freebie e-books and Project Gutenberg-type goodies.  Why?  A [...]
