Ten Things To Do When You Feel Like Crap:
1. Have a really hot, long shower. Cry if you need to. Sit on the ground. Feel sorry for yourself. Let the steam soak into your skin. Let the hot water wash your face clean. But the moment you turn off that…

So here’s a new one so brand-spanking that it hasn’t even been published yet. It is, as always, strange and wonderful and heartbreaking and insightful and more than a little bit creepy and all around amazing. Because it’s a Neil Gaiman short story, see? That’s how those work. And it has fired a thousand tiny sparks in my brainmeats, so something tells me that I’m off...

On How to Prove One's Dedication to An Idea
I’ve been reading a lot lately. To be fair, “a lot” is an incredibly subjective term. In reference to the average amount of recreational reading I’ve done over the course of my life, it’s not much at all, but when compared to the amount that I’ve ‘been able’ to do in the past few years it’s phenomenal. It’s funny how things shift in the...

Great news for everyone who loves cocaine! A new vaccine is currently being tested to reverse the lethal effects of a toxic overdose of cocaine. The vaccine contains a human monoclonal antibody with a stronger affinity for cocaine molecules than other that have been reported. So far the research looks promising for the future of drug therapy.
You can read the research here.

Tutorial Tuesday: This One's For All You Locals...
While everybody in the sane parts of the northern hemisphere is getting moist with joy at the fact that they can finally venture outside without dying of exposure within minutes, and is busily shedding as much clothing as humanly possible in celebration of this fact… things are a little different here in the great Sonoran Desert.
Here, everyone is alternately bemoaning the...

Adventures in Film Festivallery, Part 1
Due to winning a bitchin’ full festival pass, by sheer dumbfuck luck, from Bookman’s, I attended The 12th annual Phoenix Film Festival a couple weeks ago (between March 29th & April 5th). I’d apologize for how long it’s taken me to post about it, but SWEET MERCIFUL CRAP. I saw so damn much (mostly amazing) film in those eight days, it has literally taken me this long to...

Tastebud Orgasm at Table Two, Please
My kitchen smells of Old Bay seasoning & green onions, and it is divine. I haven’t really mentioned it yet, but I am on (a very personalized adaptation of) the Paleo diet lifestyle due to my food allergies & various other health concerns that it sort of allofasuddenlike dawned on me about a year ago were probably all dietary in origin, or could at least begin to be addressed...

There is so much sweat in my eyes. It is not even...
I woke myself up early on a day I didn’t have to, so I could prove to myself how dedicated I am to this thing I am doing. Also, I wanted to take pictures. Lots and lots of pictures. Of barrettes.
Allow me to explain…
My 3-year old daughter loves to pick the flowers from the bushes around our apartment complex, and have me pin them in her hair (but only after picking one for me to...
All Is Right With The World
Thing 1 is grumbling about trigonometry homework, and we are both pretending that I don’t notice him really playing video games with his friends online intermittently all the while.
Thing 2 is busily painting magenta tempera dinosaurs, stark raving nekkid except for a very pretty little flower I made for her, holding her hair all in a bun.
And I, just having returned from putting my...

Tutorial Tuesday: DIY Ninja FridgeMonster...
There’s been a smell haunting my fridge for, like, 2 months. At least. I should be ashamed to admit that, but having been wheelchair bound since September and being now recovering from surgery to fix the underlying cause, I haven’t really had the time or ability to sincerely clean out my refrigerator in much, much longer than I’d like… so, I’m really not ashamed;...

In Which I Undertake a Grand Experiment
So… hello there!
You’ve found Risible Itinerant Enterprises, where I make things. I paint, sew, cross stitch, sculpt, quilt, photograph, write, crochet, bead, and come up with things. I have also been known to glue shit to other shit in order to make new shit. I also find, fix, and modify things, most of which are old and/or weird. I also thoroughly enjoy custom designing unique,...

The Spaces In Between
For the first time in a very long time, quite literally years, I found myself with a rather large chunk of time entirely to myself last night and without anything all that important to do with it. All the things that absolutely had to be done for the day had already been taken care of. Both of the kids were with their Grandmothers. No massive backlog of blog posts to shove out of my brain when I...

Aesthetic Prejudice is Holding You Back... or Is...
While working on (surprisingly fun, supersecret-for-now project) the other day, my three year old dropped a bit of a Mind Bomb on me.
You see, we were choosing ribbons to match previously chosen fabrics to complete our project. My choice was a thin black sequined ribbon to go with this:
I wanted to go a little glampunk with it as I am often wont to do. She gravitated immediately toward the...

Replace Felicia Day’s name with someone else entirely’s name. Add to this that I am not a progressive populist, and I am not entirely sure I’d self identify as a secular humanist. Otherwise, it is exactly what I wish I had thought to say on the topic.
