We were approved for adoption via Midwest Boston Terrier Rescue and on Saturday we drove up to Niles, MI and picked up Daisy. :) She and Roxy (and our 5 cats) all get along great, and Daisy seems very happy in her new home. Had her vet-checked yesterda… more »

... other than just general "stuff."It's too cold and windy to ride, so we're not able to do that. It's also too cold to paint, so I've got no new awesome rocket pictures to show. I'm working on getting back into R/C flying, but the items haven't a… more »

I haven't written a lot this week as there isn't much to write about! It's getting cold here already, so hobby activities tend to slow down. I've got finish painting some rockets, but I've been waiting on a > 60°F day to do it. Looks like I'm not… more »

I haven't done a Monday AM mish-mash in a while so here goes! :D Had a totally awesome weekend! Saturday started off with a trip to the Feast of the Hunter's Moon. It was our first time going. Yeah, we've lived in Lafayette for 6 years now (and M… more »

Her surgery went great! Got it done on schedule Friday morning, she stayed overnight in the hospital and then came home Saturday around noonish. Her first thought, in the hospital parking lot was "we don't have any O'banon, do we?" So it was off to D&… more »

terribad iPhone shot of Razer Naga.Yup, that's a Razer Naga MMO Gaming Mouse. It's a terrible iPhone shot, but it was late and that's all I had time to get. I'll get better shots of it + write up a full review within a few days. But, so far, I lik… more »

I've got a pretty busy week, so it could be a slower posting week than usual! Mostly good, mostly fun, but definitely busy.Wednesday's my 15th wedding anniversary, so I'm off work and we've got a full day of fun stuff planned. Hard to believe it's… more »

Since it's The Law™, we needed a road trip to break in our new car. There's some people we've been MMO gaming with for many years, that only live around 100 miles away, and we've never done the in-person meeting thing. Heh. Yeah, I know... silly… more »

For our past 3 or 4 car loans -- and this dates back to around 1999 -- we've rolled forward a not small amount of negative equity. It was fairly small at first, but gradually got pretty big, and needed to be taken care of. We'd decided it was time to… more »

Yeah, I haven't been writing as much lately. Mainly, because I figure the people reading this blog don't want to read a bunch of "yeah, we rode another 10 miles today and it was awesome!" type of posts. :D Well, we have been riding a lot. We've even… more »

I haven't posted in several days, mainly because there isn't much worthy of posting about. I'm waiting on several shipments which comprise all the stuff I need to get the Helios in the air -- all that stuff will be here by Friday. Weather has been not-… more »

Got the 3DHS Slick in, took it over to The Shop(tm) and, well, it's nearly ready to maiden. The weather needs to cooperate. Thunderstorms and 20mph winds supposedly today, so that's Right Out. Tomorrow, maybe. Friday I've got something else scheduled… more »

This weekend we took my bike, a Trek 7.3 FX, into our awesome local bike shop, Hodson's Bay Company to get checked over and ready to ride. There's probably an old entry here on SoD from when we bought these bikes (she has a matching one); I believe… more »

We went to Indiana Beach yesterday, and rode some rides! Normally that wouldn't be a big deal for anyone living around here. But if you've been following this blog for a while, you know we're finally able to be able to do this. Sure, we could've gon… more »

Other than the post below this one, detailing my own Local Economy Stimulus Package, I've got quite a bit going on. It's getting to be Spring again, which means I can finally take part in outdoor hobbies again soon! Mainly that means RC flying for me… more »

Yeah, well, another 6 months gone by. I'm down to 189lbs (from originally 400+). Wearing 32 waist (and probably could use 30) pants. Originally 54 and they were tight. She's down to 175 or so, from a little over 300. It's been awesome. :) One thi… more »

So, back in November, we finally got that annoying bedroom wall rebuilt/re-insulated. It had been an issue since we bought the place in 2003, but we we're positive it was an insulation issue, but were pretty sure. Anyway, we had a contractor out, got… more »

We also have to replace the shower in the new half of the house...sigh. more »

For the last 2 years or so, we had been talking vaguely of moving "soon". Soon being defined as "as soon as we could actually pull it off", which could have been 2-5 years or more. You see, the neighborhood we moved into in 2003 had started going w… more »

We bought a new car yesterday! Perhaps not the best possible move in our situation, given we had around $7,000 worth of negative equity in our old vehicle, but it was aging, not overly comfortable for us, and got abysmal gas mileage. The new car is a 2… more »

Like I said before, I just don't write much, or often. Sometimes I get in a mood to do it, and I do. Other times I think about doing it, then wonder if I have anything to say. I don't really have much to say this time but I feel like writing. So I am… more »

I'm not going to import all the old posts. If anyone's really curious, they're archived at http://www.sentence-ov-desire.net/Pazuzu/. Some/most of the good/important ones are imported and that's the end of the importing! more »

Yeah, I promised I'd write more... And then didn't. I'm weird. I tend to latch onto "one thing" and mainly do that. Sometimes it's updating this site, sometimes it's gaming, sometimes it's things we won't talk about here. I try to work in a variety of th… more »

Let's see... Lots has happened since I last wrote! Zev has fully recovered from her nasty ankle break. We're not playing MxO anymore, though we are watching it and may play again. Actually, "we're" not playing anything -- Zev doesn't really want to game… more »

We've been in The Matrix Online beta for quite some time now, but due to an NDA haven't really talked about it. :P NDA is lifted so now I can talk. MxO is a great game. It's casual-friendly. The W. Bros are involved so the game should have a deep and… more »
