I found an envelope with a bunch of pictures of Centralia (the town with the mine fire) which include some of the highway before it got all full of graffiti. It even had road signs on the abandoned section of highway! So I think I will be updating my page on Centralia, PA... and the rest of my neglected modern ruins pages. At the very least, making it consistent with the standard template I'm using now.

When Good Food Goes Bad! Cake Wrecks!. Hilarious pictures of cakes gone bad... bizarre and creepy and horrible and funny and sometimes looking like squashed hedgehogs. Awww!
It almost makes we want to deliberately order a cake using William S. Burrough's cut-up method or MegaHAL and some random image, just so I can have a purple cake with a penguin on it that says THE RAIN WASHES MEMORIES FROM THE GLANDS OF COWS.
In other news, I found out today that Big Mama's House Of Soul recently moved to the former location of the Steel City Diner. I'm apparently the last one to find out about this, and everyone else knew weeks ago. I'm looking forward to trying them at Anthrocon! (When we went last year, all the hungry furries had eaten all their food and there was nothing left.)

Okay, so what's the deal with this site? Is it a joke or not? Or maybe whoever runs it is asleep at the wheel and nobody's watching it anymore except people who want to fool around on the internets?

Whew! Long time no update! I've been busy working. I had a brief break to run up to New York and take pictures of Bannerman's Castle, which collapsed some more last month. The remaining walls are perilously unstable, unfortunately. I'm wondering if it will survive until the Spring.
In other news, I updated Cool Furries and Furries Online, which had been neglected and disused since about 2007. Now they have a spiffy new template and design. The content needs to be updated a little, but at least I've got the infrastructure taken care of.

I rode my bike today! First ride of the year! It was 55 degrees and chilly. I made it out to Milepost 38 and back. There's a section of the W&OD Trail that's been detoured to make way for the new Dominion Power lines.

I hooked up my new cellphone last night. We're part of Verizon's New Every Two plan, which gives us new cellphones every year. This one's an LG eNV3, complete with an actual keyboard. Now it'll be easier for me to send text messages, as long as I can remember that my cellphone flips open and has a keyboard inside.

I've added another 20 chapters to the Holey Bubble, and for organizational purposes it's been moved to its own directory so it won't clutter up the main page here. There's still a lot to be added.

Xydexx will rule this fandom with a squeaky rubber hoof, and then horse costumes will be MANDATORY.

It snowed again last night! Not the blizzard we had a while ago, only one or two inches. I took my Prius in for its 45,000 mile pre-paid scheduled maintenance today. I'll be kicking off the new year with a new gig in Maryland on Monday. An hour's drive, but at least I'll get to take the back roads to get there.
At the closing of the year, we'd like to remind you that finding a unicorn horn is exciting any time of year, because unicorns are awesome. We're off to Chez Turtle tonight to celebrate. Xydexx wishes everyone a happy and safe New Year!

I'm back from my holiday break. I drove up to New York with Renfield, saw Dad, MaryAnne, Xakor, and Lisa. Drumwolf was in town, so I got a chance to see him for a bit. I loaded one of Renfield's bookshelves in the back of my Prius to bring down to Virginia, and we stopped by his friend's house in Rockland County on the return trip. Interesting new slang I learned: Renfield gets things "for ham" which apparently means for free or for cheap, as far as I can tell. On the 27th, we went over to Mom's for presents.
I've added the next 30 chapters to the Holey Bubble, wherein you can learn more about squeaking in equine delight, marsupial-filled popcorn machines, and kittens full of beans.

Happy Awesome Day! I've added the first 30 chapters of the Holey Bubble. Share and enjoy!
