Warning: The following post will mostly be an excursus on where bits of my geek media have crossed. If you, or any of your friends, are among that class of people who consider themselves “normal” then there is a good chance you will be shunned and/or mocked as a geek simply for reading this post.

Today for breakfast I had jam on my toast. Margary had minor emergency with her jam, because the giant chunk of fruit that came out of the jam jar with the jam only balanced so-so on top of the toast. I found her large, sticky chunk of jam/fruit (don’t worry, it was just on [...]

Long time readers may recall that this blog was originally founded with the idea of sharing our adventures, specifically in not going to college. It was about pioneering a new path, talking about what we learned on the way while doing this freaky odd thing that everyone thought was crazy. Gradually, it shifted to [...]

Recently the game of choice around these parts, the game that consumes our waking thoughts and changes our perception of life is a fun little game by PopCap called Plants vs. Zombies.
I’m pretty sure the technical description of the game is that it is a tower defense game. The non-technical explanation is that zombies are [...]

I was telling a friend that it seemed like I’d learned stuff over the past few years of my life, but it was hard to tell it to anyone because it just seemed trite and obvious when I tried to put it into words. On further reflection, everything I’ve learned is still true, even [...]

So far today I have done dishes, started my laundry, made homemade deodorant, assembled an herbal glycerite to ’steep’, and read the first chapter of a book about what the medical establishment won’t tell you about hormones.

For some reason being sick makes me really chatty. About being sick, that is. Usually when I’m sick I don’t like talking about much of anything else. Thursday I had a really sore throat and felt a head cold coming on. I spent most of Friday lying around being sick. By Saturday night I had [...]

Today is Thursday. You might have noticed. Thursday is Crystal’s grocery shopping day and so she spends most of the day out of the house.
