Sensawunda Donation Drive: Help a Friend in Need
My friend Adam (who you all have probably heard enough about on this blog) is having some financial problems. Like many Americans, he is having issues finding a job, which is particularly troublesome as a newlywed and a quasi-semi-not-really-graduated-college-student. He and his wife need some financial help to pay off their overdue power bill, but rather than take your money and give you nothing but an Internet-thank-you for your trouble, Adam is offering up all kinds of free fiction, books, and other goodies (similar to what I’m still doing for WISB, but now w/o the financial necessity). Adam’s short fiction is really quite good, so if you’ve got a few bucks to spare, please head over to Adam’s site and donate. Who knows, maybe if someone agrees to cough up a goodly amount, Adam and I will write a story together involving you as a villain, with he and I as the exaggerated heroes. It’ll be like Arnold Schwarzenegger had a love affair with a bizarro story and Mary Poppins…a kind of weird fantasy/scifi/horror threeway. Without protection…
RIP: Taj
I’ve had Taj (a bold stripe/jungle leopard gecko) for several years, but had to have her put down today due to severe symptoms of what appears to be gout. I was going to say some sappy stuff about the vet appt., the time I had with Taj, and so on, but I don’t feel motivated to do that right now. I’ve lost five leopard geckos in two years, so it’s not exactly been the easiest of journeys. Florida and I are certainly not best of friends these days… Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to go watch The Pacific (for the fifth time) and maybe some bad TV while munching on a greasy burger, ice cream, and baked potatoes. Because I’m feeling pretty low and I need heart-killing food in me… For those curious, here’s a picture of Taj from before her illness. She was a beautiful lizard. *sigh*
