Gah! My mortal enemy strikes again… also, I’ve been busy creating the new Fall background. But, at least one of the latest doctor cat comics made me a little happier: http://doctorcatmd.com/2011-09-02/human-nurses-suggestions Enjoy!

Random Skeevy Writing Contest vs NPR
Once upon a time, a long time ago, I decided to make a brave second attempt at submitting something of mine to a literary contest. The first literary contest I’d ever entered was most likely a scam. I had to send them my piece and… Read More
Empowering Pathos
When animals are sad I know creatures who’d rather die before they wait, I don’t see them around anymore. I know of a bird whose soul got so sad, He lost his heart to open wings and soar. And you don’t know how painful pain… Read More
Parents for your Protagonista

Unfreak Yourself Out
That one very strange, panicked Spore post aside, I’m feeling better about getting the writing juices flowin’.

100 posts!
Dear God, I’ve actually posted a hundred of these… Interesting that, my last post, which was the first after a really terrible spell of writer’s block for me, was the 100th Randitty post, according to Blogger. I guess this is especially nice, since I forgot… Read More
