Not like funny ha ha or dramatic or anything like that sort of entertaining, alas. A very dear friend from Oregon has arrived, and I haven’t got anything pre-written, so I’m afraid it’s the cat for you lot again. I got her with her eyes open, for once: It was a sunbeam sort of day. [...]

Oh, Yes. Yes, This Makes Me Happy
November 29th, 2011 
Dana Hunter Yeah, so I wasn’t having a good night: noisy neighbors, totally blocked, gloomy about various and sundry, just about to give it up as a bad job and go straight to bed. But, y’know, I’d got YouTube pulled up, and there was that Tristania song I hadn’t heard in a while, and then an Epica [...]
Dana’s Dojo: Talking Heads
November 29th, 2011 Dana Hunter Today in the Dojo: choosing the right spokesperson and keeping the voices from turning your multiple POV masterpiece into Babble-on. The problem with a Cast of Thousands is that everybody wants to be a star. When you choose the third person point of view, limited or not, you open the door to a flood [...]
Los Links 11/25
November 28th, 2011 Dana Hunter At last, Los Links. Pretty heavy on the pepper spray, alas. Address complaints to Sergeant John Pike, UC Davis Police. But only if you’re wearing a face shield.
You’re Under No Obligation to Read This
November 28th, 2011 Dana Hunter I didn’t even mean to post it. It’s just a person pouring out pain on the internet. But if you want a look at what it means to deal with mental illness, then you can read on. If not, amuse yourself with my cat, partake of the other excellent offerings on the toobz, and wait [...]
I’m Running Late. Have a Cat.
November 28th, 2011 Dana Hunter I’ve spent most of the day on the phone with various family members. The problem with getting in touch with people you haven’t spoken to in years is that you get caught up in catching up, and then all your cunning plans for finishing Los Links go right out the door. I could do it [...]
Mental Illness Strikes Home. Again.
November 27th, 2011 Dana Hunter Funny we should be having this conversation about skepticism and mental illness now. I called my mother for her birthday today, and it’s clear she’s on her way to another psychotic break. We’ve been down this road a thousand times. She’s severely bipolar, and her medications frequently stop working. She ends up anxious and paranoid [...]
Grab Some Tissues and Watch This. Then Take Action.
November 26th, 2011 Dana Hunter JT Eberhard, my darlings. One of the bravest fucking human beings I know. Watch his Skepticon IV talk and read his post. I’ve got nothing much to add to this. I wrote up a whole big post on it once and then never posted it, because honestly, my occasional tussles with depression are stubbed toes [...]
Near Seattle? Bored? I Haz Solutionz For Ye
November 26th, 2011 Dana Hunter So, you don’t shop (or you’re done shopping), you’re sick of hanging round the house looking at relatives and leftover turkey, and you’d like to go do something interesting with your life. Possibly even with your relatives. I haz things for ye. Burien Little Theatre’s Inspecting Carol opens this weekend. Saturday’s date night will get [...]
Cleared for Adventuring
November 25th, 2011 Dana Hunter I’m afraid I shall have to negotiate joint custody for my car. Most people don’t end up with these dilemmas. It’s hard enough to find one mechanic you trust, much less two. I have a mechanic I adore – Jay’s Kirkland Autocare. They’ve always done a fantastic job with no fuss and bother. Plus, they [...]
