Guitar Hero
Yes, that’s an electric guitar.
Yes, my life may never be the same.
But, yes, Andrew paid for half with his own money.
Now, if he can only learn something beyond Iron Man, Sunshine of Your Love, and (of course) Smoke on the Water.

Corralling cats and words
Yes, it’s a commercial, but it’s still pretty funny (and kid safe–my kids loved it). It occurs to me that everyone else has already seen this except for me, since I don’t watch television.
In any case, enjoy!
And by popular (?) demand, I’ll post that 490-word sentence, but below the cut. Click [...]

Remember when I wrote that really long sentence?
Remember when I wrote that 106-word sentence? I wrote another one! Even longer! This week, as part of the class I’m taking (called masterful sentences, oddly enough) we mimicked Hemingway and his +400 word sentence, which you can see here. (Scroll down to #3.

Walk for Animals
Yes, we’ve been busy with projects here at Chez Tahmaseb. We’ve been bagging and baking, and now walking.
Well, actually, Andrew has been doing most of these things.
For thirty five years, our local Animal Humane Society has sponsored the Walk for Animals. Since we adopted Oreo from there last September, Andrew thought this would be a [...]

The Geek Boys take over
The Geek Boys are taking over The Geek Girl’s Guide to Cheerleading site this week.
Actually, it’s Darcy, who’s channeling Todd & Brian–and brilliantly, I might add. Stop by for a week’s worth of all things geek-boy.

Great Harvest = Great Time
Today, Andrew and I volunteered as part of the “Baker of the Day” program at Great Harvest Bread Company. A great, if exhausting, time was had by all. We worked the ten to one shift, which gave us a lot to do. Next time, I think we’ll pick an earlier shift so we can help [...]

Invisible friends
The other evening, I was booting down the computer when Kyra said, “Goodnight, Darcy!”
I said, “You know Darcy doesn’t really live in my computer, right?”
Kyra didn’t answer.

Writing wrong yet again
So I’m taking this writing class called Masterful Sentences which is about … wait for it … sentence structure. Yeah, you didn’t see that coming.
Anyway, as part of this week’s assignment, I have a choice between “offering corrections to phrase and clauses wherever you see you can improve it” on A Christmas Carol by Charles [...]
