It’s Mother’s Day – or Matronalia if you prefer – and I’m wishing all the Mommies a fun day! Thursday night was interesting. I had just dyed my hair a bit darker than usual (I feel silly now with light blonde hair), and it was almost dry but full of that super-rich conditioner that you put on afterward. I went outside to enjoy the moonlight and the cool breezes. I lit some charcoal, and threw a couple of rosehips and…
Still sick, coughing, shivering, sweating, miserable. One good thing has come out of this, though. I’m sick and tired of feeling sick and tired, and there’s one thing I know I can (and should) do to make things better. I am quitting my terrible smoking habit. Potential embarrassment and shame about failure will be a further incentive, so I’m announcing here there and everywhere. I’ve got a quit date – next Wednesday April 15th. I took my first Chantix pill…
In which the author of this blog indulges in an freewheeling rant over a fairly trivial irritation: Clouds!!!! Gotta get those clouds, man! They are SO DOOMED. I KNEW IT!!!! I knew that something would interfere! All I wanted was to see the MOON! Is there something WRONG with that?

I like to read the Free Will Astrology reports. I have to post this week’s forecast because of the Halloween costume suggestions.

But whether or not that’s an actual fact, we can say this with certainty: At some time in your current life, you made a great sacrifice in an effort to pacify…
A new VirusHead tradition begins here. Now. Every Saturday I will post another of Laurie Anderson’s public service announcements. She actually calls them personal service announcements. Just a few little tidbits for you to ruminate upon. (Please make more, Laurie.) The first PSA that I’ve chosen is called “National Anthem.” [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9cE6Pg2q3lI[/youtube] The words are great though..just a lot of questions, written during a fire…. things like: Hey, do you see anything over there? I don’t know, there’s a lot of…
Either way you interpret “WTF,” it was my first thought this morning. “Do you smell a wood fire?” “Is our house on fire?” “Where’s the fire?” “WTF??!?!?!” The whole backyard was full of smoke. I went outside, and couldn’t find the cause. I turned on the news. Weather report: Hazy, sunny, and smoky. Yeah, and? Only in Georgia would they simply describe the conditions without any explanation at all. On the way in to work (I’m on break right now,…
