Kitchen Towels, Anyone? 2008-10-23 20:49:55 I like towels. I like kitchen towels. I like artsy kitchen towels. In fact, we always seem to be running out of kitchen towels in our kitchen… though I’m pretty sure that has more to do with a certain kitten pulling things off the counters than a kitchen towel bandit breaking into [...] Read more:Anyone

Tis the Season. 2008-10-23 16:35:26 Election season is upon us. People are deciding left and right (no pun intended) who they are going to cast their vote for. Two more weeks, and everyone will get a chance to throw their ballot into the ring and have their voice heard.
Two more weeks? That’s such a long time! [...] Read more:Season
October - GLBT History Month 2008-10-22 11:40:10 I’m celebrating October
as Breast Cancer Awareness Month
, but I probably should be making my blog a rainbow of gay goodness. Why? It’s GLBT History
Month as well.
I kept meaning to blog about it earlier, but it continually slipped my mind. I’m a horrible gay person. Today, they’re celebrating Rosie O’Donnell, but the most influential [...]
Snailbird.com! 2008-10-20 17:13:47 And we’re back up, with tons of help from my previous host. Thanks a bunch, Dan!
I’ll be making quite a few changes to reflect the new domain name. For now, I’ll work with the old set up and the old title of Coyote Dreams until I get up the new theme that I’m working on. [...]
The Hope Faerie. 2008-10-17 17:40:53 I purchased a domain recently, so this blog will be moving in the near future. Just a heads up.
I’m really sick of politics. (I really love kittens though and there’s currently one in my lap purring like he’s got diesel truck stuck in his chest - how can kittens be such terrors one [...] Read more:Faerie
Debate. 2008-10-15 21:10:28 I understand that you’re gonna see and hear what you want, no matter what the truth is, but come one. No matter who you are, McCain is not a good speaker. He doesn’t have the charisma for it, nor the presence. He doesn’t talk on a beat and he’s hard to listen [...] Read more:Debate
Coming Out Day. 2008-10-11 15:44:49 Today (October 11, 2008 for those of you without a Calendar), is National Coming Out Day. In fact, it is the 20th Annual National Coming Out Day. Twenty years ago today, two men, Dr. Robert Eichberg and Jean O’Leary, celebrated the first Coming Out Day in honor of the Second National March on [...]
VICTORY! 2008-10-10 15:03:48 Victory in at least one more state. That makes what? Three now? Great. Three out of Fifty.
“Today is really a great day for equality in Connecticut,” said Bennett Klein, senior lawyer at Gay and Lesbian Advocates and Defenders, which argued the case before the Supreme Court. “Today’s decision really fulfills the [...]
Political Traps and a bad Friday. 2008-10-10 10:53:08 I was going to post a political post here, but I decided to refrain, and instead posted it over at BlogHer so more people would get a chance to read it (let’s face it, this place doesn’t get a lot of traffic - who honestly reads it?).
The article, “Cynthia McKinney: A Lesser-known Presidential Candidate,” can [...] Read more:Friday

The Stupidity of Mankind… 2008-10-09 21:21:32 …Often saves us from wasting time on catching the bad guys. They just put themselves in jail. Or they just put themselves in deeper water. Ah well, they deserve it.
In July, convicted sexual molester Donald Fox, 62, of Frederick, Md., became the most recent convict to challenge the unfairness of his sentence [...]
Day of Drag! 2008-11-15 13:41:07 The drag show is today! Which means this is the only time I’ll have to blog today. Here’s a quick run down of the songs Ash and I are doing.
Ash
- Another Day in Paradise by Phil Collins
- Out from Under by Josh Zuckerman
Me
- Stand Out from A Goofy Movie
- [...]
Downtime. 2008-11-14 22:47:15 Snailbird.com was on the server that was attacked by some sort of malicious bug and Hostgator finally got us up and running again. Just in time to do a quick blog before the day runs out.
My bandwidth shot up today and I was confused as to why until I noticed that the wordpress theme [...] Read more:Downtime
To Write Love on her Arms. 2008-11-13 17:37:23 I should have mentioned this earlier, but I didn’t find out about until yesterday. I’m not sure if anyone has heard of “To Write
Love on her Arms”, but the movement is for an incredibly good cause, and today, participants across the globe wrote Love on their arms in an effort to show those [...]
Mutts n’ More! 2008-11-12 19:22:30 Oh and I can’t believe I forgot! I am the world’s worst girlfriend (thankfully I’m not dating the world - I’m dating Ash and she thinks I’m a pretty okay girlfriend). Eh, who am I kidding? I suck.
I converted Ash into being a blogger. I set her up with a wordpress [...]
Nightmares. 2008-11-12 18:51:43 Yo, follow my blog with bloglovin! You know, if you really want to. It seems like a cool site.
Okay, so. Yesterday and today have been a dream for me. Nightmare to be more precise. I don’t really remember any of it, but maybe that’s a good thing. In any [...] Read more:Nightmares
Rough. 2008-11-11 20:37:10 It’s been a rough day, but maybe I’ll explain more some other day. Just know that after a horrible episode, I’m okay. Ashley and I are watching Cadet Kelley and having a good night.
Here, have a kitten.
The end. Read more:Rough
Holy Busy Day, Batman. 2008-11-09 21:36:00 It’s been an unusually hectic, and somewhat exciting, day. And maybe not exciting in the good sense.
It started off fast. We slept in, and when we woke up we got a little surprise. Ash got dressed before me and went into the living room. I was still rolling around trying to [...] Read more:Batman
Never Neverland. 2008-11-08 16:32:47 I haven’t posted art here in a looooonnnngggg time, so since I finally finished a digital painting I’ve been working on since September, I thought I’d post it. Let me know what you think. (Click on it for a bigger image.)
This was based on a short story that centered on the theme Neverland

Camera Question. 2008-11-08 14:53:51 So Ash and I are looking into getting a new digital SLR and we’ve narrowed it down to three: Nikon d40x, Nikon d60, and the Nikon d80. We have both read a large amount of reviews for all of them, but there are so many saying different things. From what I’ve read, [...] Read more:Camera

On Being Healthy (and Cool). 2008-12-07 22:40:42 So in an effort to start being healthier and start cutting back on sweets and fatty foods, I joined SparkPeople. When I joined it was completely half-hearted, but in the last few days, I have been constantly surprised by the extreme helpfulness in the site. Not only does it organize my eating schedule, [...]
Reaching for Myself. 2008-12-06 23:35:51 I need a self-exploration day.
Okay, I just sat here for a few minutes and read that over in my head several times, and there’s really no way that can be said without a thousand innuendos popping up into the brains of the few loyal readers I have. Or it could just be my fourth [...] Read more:Reaching
Fluff between my Ears. 2008-12-05 23:14:33 Zoning out is a usual occurrence for me, but today it’s been ten times worse because of all the fluff that was stuffed into my ears when I was looking the other way. Really. I feel like my whole head is being covered by a pillow and the person smothering me with it [...] Read more:Fluff
I found Godzilla in the Sky. 2008-12-04 22:16:18 Can I just say, I am NOT looking forward to tomorrow? Well, I said it anyway. Tomorrow is gonna suck. Ash works 6:30am to 6pm and I have my final scenario for Search and Rescue, so I’ll be out until 3 in the morning again in negative degree weather searching the woods [...] Read more:Godzilla
Go Team Go! 2008-12-04 14:02:21 Man, I’ve still Austin on the brain like crazy. Here, have another picture:
Gorgeous.
I finally finished my black and white film portfolio and put it up and was surprised by the large amount of positive feedback I got, from my photos, and from my deeply personal artist statement I put up (in which I came [...]
Texas on my Mind. 2008-12-03 13:36:50 I know I’ve been a grouch the last few days and I apologize. Today has actually been quite a good day. I skipped out on a boring class to make some money this morning, and I had a sudden realization as I sat at the computer creating the new Alumni 2009 Reunion brochure. [...] Read more:Texas
Potential Solutions? 2008-12-02 21:44:53 So we have someone coming to look at the house on Saturday and if they like the place then we are all set and even our housemate is off the hook because she’ll get to move out as well (the prospective couple looking wants our entire side of the duplex). I’m crossing my fingers [...] Read more:Potential
December Wonderland. 2008-12-01 22:53:47 Okay, so maybe it hasn’t started off as happy. I’m grumpy, sick, hurt, and frustrated beyond belief by our current situation. Nothing seems to be going our way and we might end up stuck in this tiny little town in this horrible house because our housemate decided not to even try to find [...] Read more:December

Camera, November, and Blah. 2008-11-30 19:13:44 So, we’re home. It was a long drive and we came home to messy house, so I am not really in a good mood. I’m tired, I hurt, and I am not looking forward to going back to work and classes. Plus, my ears hurt and I feel sick and cold.
There is [...] Read more:Camera
