This morning, before I went swimming, I wrote out a meme for this site (Take5 Tuesday). There were many reasons I chose to do this… First of all, I had no idea what to write, and writing a meme is (fairly) easy. Second of all, I was very tired and could barely string a sentence [...]
I spent the evening wrestling with GIMP and my personal lack of artistic talent. Seriously, in my family, my sister got all the visual artistic talent. She has a bachelors degree in art, and she now works as a professional graphic designer. I’m the writer in the family, believe it or not.
Actually, my dad and [...]

A fun little meme that I found…

PETA asks Ben & Jerry’s to use breast milk.
As in, human breast milk.
I find this article so stunning that I can’t even find words for it.
I am an absolute believer in kindness to animals. Animal cruelty is WRONG, no two ways about it! But I also believe that animals were given to us to nourish [...]
It occured to me that I should write SOMETHING today.
It’s been a very quiet day. I’ve done quite a bit of website work… practicing my coding and so forth.
I’ve also been working on some graphics. Again, practicing and learning.
I spent some time organizing all my photos earlier. That was kinda fun.
I ordered a new mouse [...]
So, I have a question for all of you, my wonderful readers.

In my house, to be honest, we [...]
