After several months of constant work, mostly by writing and looking for places to promote my blog, I've rediscovered the value of hanging around websites to actually read and learn stuff from them. Which is in turn making some of my blogging a bit easier. Today I was looking at historical illustrations of carrots.
Ah, Bernalillo, New Mexico. An ambulance on your block every night. Last night it was the neighbor committing suicide, tonight it's my grandma with breathing trouble (though not severe enough to need CPR or, apparently, intubation or anything.)
How am I so busy but still never get anything done???
Actively working on 3 books right now... 3 blogs... plus promotions for the books, blogs and websites.
So I think I've been in Bernalillo about a month now, sleeping on the floor of the diningroom since that's the only place there is for me other than the way-too-public livingroom and couch. I have pillows...

I got my passport today (that was quick -- 20 days from the cashing of the check.) I can now seriously plot going places!
I also renewed my domains and hosting for www.lucky-temple.com for 2 years -- so it looks like I'm staying in the occult business, in some form, for at least that long. It cost about $65 a year, with coupons (and by...

Huge dust storm with 60 mph winds, all over New Mexico today. Power kept going out here, and at my mom's work the smoke alarms kept going off because of all the dust. I am amazed the tree in the back yard stayed upright, it was shaking and looking quite ready to fall.
So I am going one last time to the Apple store tomorrow,...

Really? I got my macbook 4 years ago. Today the computer is not the same, its not pretty and its not perfect, but it works, still work with all the thing i did to her. I never have a virus on my computer, that sounds kind of odd to a macbook computer.
Went to the Apple store today and had the Geniuses try to figure out how to fix my computer. The girl I was assigned at first didn't seem to know much about the Google redirect virus, but (of course) the nerdiest looking guy there got all excited when he heard the trouble, and knew al about it, and how to fix it. It was something...

Ugh!!! Nope, computer still seems infected despite Safari reinstall 
Goddammit, I got one of those stupid Google Redirect viruses again, this time in my Mac (though could be worse, the site I know I got it from -- a redirect from a useful-sounding website to some Russian page -- also attempted to install something further, but thanks to Mac computers requiring a password authorization before adding new software it was unable to proceed in...

Was out walking with my dad and found two freshly dead cats, without obvious marks of violence. I called the New Mexico Animal Cruelty hotline since we figured someone was probably killing cats (either poisoning them or strangling them or something.)
In happier news, I made my first whoopie pies today. I'd only heard of the things before, but lately they're getting mentioned all over...

If your tooth is affected by temperature change, something's up (iced drinks or soup will do the trick). I've never heard of a tooth hurting due to something sweet, though. Maybe that tooth has achieved consciousness.

Sugar is actually a common aggravator -- it stimulates the nerve, if the tooth is cracked or has a cavity, thus causing an ache.
When I had to flee my sister's house, I ended up leaving part 1 of 2 of my prescription acne medication in the refrigerator at her house, and was never able to retrieve it. Thing is, that Benzamycin is a nuisance to keep (has to stay cold) and it dries out my skin so much -- yet using my Retin-A twice a day instead of...

I never had bad skin as a kid and after I turned 18 it became a nightmare. I get dark spots or scars when I break out as well. And I never know what's going to cause it... I can't remember the last time my skin was smooth. Even if it's break out free if you look close it's got tiny bumps like baby zits growing up!! I've never heard of cystic acne. Actually I haven't been to a doctor about it because it's awkward. But your blog has encouraged me that maybe I should. I'm just broke and not sure if it's affordable...
aristophanes:
The tiny bumps might be congested pores, something like Retin-A deals with those too. I don't know if you've got the cystic kind of acne, but cystic effects deeper tissues than normal acne (which is why is scars so badly.)
My parents and I seem to be constantly going out in order to escape the house here. It is so unpleasant. My grandmother is always watching Mexican TV shows where people are screaming at each other, and seems to be imitating them or something. I've been here about two unhappy weeks now (though admittedly I think I am enjoying myself better than Minnesota all in...

Still no idea what to do with myself. I don't think I want to stay in Bernalillo any longer than necessary -- it's like a more tense version of Jessica's house. It's me and my parents and my grandma and her husband and basically my cousin as well* all living here in a 2 bedroom trailer. I have been sleeping on the dining room floor....
