Here it is, one of Lisa’s seasonal sales. She has some amazing things up for auction on Ebay right now, and you can also buy little red poppets for $9! That’s an amazing price! I bought yet another one for myself, and one is being shipped to Megan. So many cool things. She has some [...]

Today was a very bizarre day on the unit, but a very good one nonetheless. Lots of aggression aimed primarily at staff…but I guess that comes with the job.
I’ve been working with this one little guy for about a week now. He’s very shy, but opened up to me pretty quickly. I think the thing [...]

I really need to stop this buying of books. At least for now. My “to be read” list sitting next to my bed has gotten to about 15 books tall. But I hit up Second Chance Book Adoption again today. Some great books on there. Get them now, because I’m pretty sure he said the [...]

Today has definitely been “one of those days”. I think the thing that set the day off for me was that I didn’t take a shower this morning as someone else needed to at the time that I usually do. So I took my shower last night. For some reason, I am just unable to [...]

Subterranean Press has quite a few goodies to offer right now. I’ve mentioned them before on this blog. They are a wonderful publisher that publishes special, limited, numbered, and/or signed clothbound editions of great books.
First up is an author I heard about from Carl V. by the name of John Scalzi. This book is [...]

I have been very wary of my progress on the unit. I didn’t think that I was doing a bad job, but not exactly the greatest job in the world. I tend to be very critical of myself and my work and sometimes a perfectionist. I feel like if I don’t know the right thing [...]

Today’s just one of those great days that only come so often. The weather is beautiful outside. Blue skies, about 55 degrees, and no humidity. Just went to the coffee shop to get an iced mocha and enjoyed the car ride. I normally hate being in my car, but there are somedays when a good [...]

I just got home from Pan’s Labyrinth. I must say that it is one of the most beautiful movies I have seen in a long time. Guillermo Del Toro couldn’t have done a better job. The color schemes were incredible, the labyrinth itself was absolutely amazing, and the creatures will stick with me forever.
It was [...]

I decided that I wanted to splurge a little bit today. oh-oh! Not so bad though. I got some cool stuff. My favorite place to splurge (aside from B&N) is Target. I don’t know why, I just love that store.
The first thing I bought myself was a watch because I needed one really bad. But [...]
