Suppose I could blame the full moon. Or the pots full of tea I drank before I should’ve gone to bed. Maybe even the fistfuls of chocolate I was shoving in my gob at some point hours ago. Yet whatever the reason, here I am up in the night not even trying to fall asleep.… Continue reading Up in the night staring at the full moon and pondering the melting snow and an Imaginarium

Just one more thing I wanted to read before I actually get something done
Rarely do I want to repost something word for word in its entirety here on the old Miscellaneous Blog, but today I desperately want to do exactly that. I’ve got tabs open on my laptop with articles I’d like to read and blogposts on which I’d like to comment. I’ve been devouring pieces about… Continue reading Just one more thing I wanted to read before I actually get something done
Hiding behind the curtain
A topic that I find myself thinking about when considering what to write about here has to do with the ‘Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain‘ line that I’ve had on this blog since I started it. See, I’ve talked with plenty of people about online privacy and blogging and how much of… Continue reading Hiding behind the curtain
My beautiful heathen
Nearly as long as I’ve been blogging, I’ve been trying to avoid talking too much about twitter. For one thing, it’s incredibly boring if you’re not already there. So many people with whom I interact in my daily life ridicule the medium, and I gave up long ago any hope of changing their… Continue reading My beautiful heathen
Fine words butter no parsnips
Well, I was just kidding when I assured Robert Godden that I’d used ‘Fine words butter no parsnips’ in a long ago blogpost. Purportedly, he’s just spent an hour looking through the archives of my various blogs for the nonexistent time I used that phrase…now I almost feel bad, but not really. Maybe he-of-gullible-tendencies… Continue reading Fine words butter no parsnips
Blogging like a boss and ridiculing other’s ideas up close and personally
It’s been quite a week at Lahikmajoe Headquarters, as Elaine of @elaine4queen has been visiting on her way back from Athens, and we’ve been plotting some blog adventures that you shall see come to fruition in the next few months. We continue to foment a sort of revolution that includes a bit less cake… Continue reading Blogging like a boss and ridiculing other’s ideas up close and personally
Creative Storytelling: Five Ideas
Wow, I really like these ideas. While already employing some of them, I plan to incorporate even more. Thanks The Daily Post. Good stuff.
Having cake and discussing which direction we’re all going
Although I’ve got writing assignments and plenty of other obligations, I realised recently that I hadn’t been keeping the horde of my readers up to date on what’s going on hereabouts. For one thing, Elaine came to visit and we continued our Cake Across Europe tour that we began last year in Palermo. Oh, here’s a… Continue reading Having cake and discussing which direction we’re all going
Guinness is apparently good for you…apparently
Not sure exactly what’s going on in this window, but apparently Guinness is Good for You. I suppose that’s useful information to know. I thought the gnome holding up those several Krugs of Bavarian beer would be a nice way to mention that the Oktoberfest has begun here. For the uninitiated, that means upward… Continue reading Guinness is apparently good for you…apparently
out of a funk…onto a journey
There’s only one way to ease back into this ol’ Dachshund Blog, and it’s not to ease in at all. My intention is to slog in full speed. As quickly as one can slog, I suppose. Where have I been? What have I been doing? Well, the specifics are rather unexciting for the most part,… Continue reading out of a funk…onto a journey
