The Spring Equinox is over fifty days away. Fifty more dreary, cold days and nights!! How—in the name of Satan’s Uncle Bob––can we possibly make it to the Spring equinox alive? I have just the thing. The Dead of Winter Movie List. For the past couple of weeks, we’ve been talking about Gothic stories and movies. (Check out Gothic Romance in the 21st Century and 10 Gothic Movies for a Dark and Stormy Night.) I continued the theme with […]

This Mercury Retrograde has been a bitch! Tweaked my knee–still hobbling around on that and hoping it will eventually heal–car trouble, two dishwashers bit the dust, one dryer heating element is on the fritz, various electrical snafus, and an Internet gremlin infestation that cost me hours and hours.
