Oh hey, it’s been a few years! I thought I was a blogger. I guess I wasn’t a regularly-scheduled one of those. We got fed up with California. We decided we want to move state, but can’t decide where we want to move to. We’ve looked at Indiana a couple of times, and it’s beautiful, …

Excessive glitter and fart spray.
Porch pirates are a giant problem in our neighborhood. The local neighborhood FB group includes half a dozen Ring camera porch-pilchery vids daily, and residents are feeling bitter and vengeful. My fam has become the Porch Pirate Police for the family across the street, as we have a direct view of their front porch from one of …
I’ve been MIA, but I’m back and I’m foamy
Anyone craft with EVA foam? I started out trying to make armor a few years ago and gave up because I tried to do things that were beyond my skill level. But now I’m back at it, and I’m better, and I’m not trying to make Boba Fett or Jamie Lannister armor… I’m just flying …
A to Z #2
“Would you be so kind as to feed the fish?” I asked. X-acto knife in hand, he joked “No, but I can filet them for you.” “You’re a nerd.” “Zorro!” he yelled, whipping his X-acto knife about in a zee formation. And this is pretty much how our day went: me doing all the chores …
Cauliflower fried “rice”… oh my wow!!
Apparently cauliflower “rice” has been a thing for a while now, and I’ve known of its existence, but I never really believed cauliflower could replace rice effectively. I assumed it would still have a cauliflower taste – and in some dishes I suppose it might, which isn’t bad, because I love cauliflower – but …
Please quit using the short bus as an insult.
Before we start : Did you come here looking for a Skoolie (school bus conversion) blog? If so, please visit The Tiki Varoom: A Potentially Enchanted Skoolie Undertaking and see The Tiki Varoom on Instagram! Now please proceed. This is important. And, by the way, the terminology in Skoolie communities for short buses is “shorties”. I could …
My Husband’s Hand Turned Into a Vagina.
I have disturbing photographic proof. I was practicing some wound makeup on him for a course I’m creating about realistic casualty makeup. I digress from the “realistic” part in this photo, because I was experimenting with materials and didn’t do the tendon correctly. It still looks gross and hurty, but not realistic. Here it is… …
The Worms Crawl In, The Worms Crawl Out
You’re petting your cat. She’s sitting on your lap, occasionally stretching up to nose your face with affection. It’s a major love fest with lots of squirming, pawing, head-butting, purring, drooling, and a sprinkling of love nips. She turns a couple of times and settles in on your lap while you watch Bates Motel. You’re getting to …
Training Cats
For Christmas I put together a “cat training kit” for the teenager, consisting of a book on how to clicker-train, a training clicker, and bags of cat treats. He didn’t seem very interested on Christmas, probably because his new electronics trumped the furry playthings, but yesterday he attempted to train Daenerys to jump down from surfaces. Partway …
My Day in Comics, or My Comical Day
I woke up covered in cats. Normally I wouldn’t mind this, and late autumn is a pretty good time to awaken to extra warmth on your extremities, especially when it vibrates. But not today. Because? That little grey cat , Daenerys Stormborn: Kitten of Dragons (DeNayNay, for short), has maggots slithering out of her puckered little ass hole. Daenerys …
