We should be back there

I felt the need to change the scary doodle below as early as possible. Here is the one I drew shortly after returning from our Honeymoon in Hawaii. That's us, relaxing on the beach.

There's a terrible reluctance about me this morning. I'm not sure what's causing it. The week is drawing to a close, and I'm looking forward to my mother's visit tomorrow. I planned to bicycle in today, but failed. So it goes and goes.

It's my biggest enemy

Sun is not something we have to worry about these days. This weekend promises to be a winter wonderland. There is talk of snow. In Seattle. And cold.

Now that we've limited our Warhammer Online play to twice a week, my Horrible output has improved. I'm doodling at least one a day. If I keep it up, I might up to posting three times a week. This won't excuse my poor writing output. I'm not sure what to do about that. I thought I had something with a short story, but it vanished.

Another beautiful day in Seattle going toward a beautiful weekend. Here's something to set the mood based on my rotating desktop wallpaper.

You can always go there in your head

I miss Hawaii. It's almost time to go back. Here's another photo Doodle.

The Castle is supposed to close today. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that everything goes according to plan.

It is so important that you're here

My Chinese lessons are going well. I've returned to the loving (and already paid for) embrace of Rosetta Stone for a second (or is this third?) try at learning Mandarin. This time I set up a spreadsheet to track my progress and to record vocabulary words. My plan is to create flashcards. I figure my Chinese will be better than Julie's in no time.

The menu on my website doesn't work in some browsers. I spent an hour last night working on IE 6 and 7 stylesheets. Somehow IE 6 worked but 7 still has problems. I can't wait until everyone upgrades.

It silences me

Things are going swimmingly on this beautiful Friday. There must be some convergence zone above us. The weather changes every ten minutes between sunshine, clouds, and rain. Luckily it hasn't graupled today (it did grauple yesterday).

This Horrible is based on this photograph.
