    Something of interest will go here. Someday.
  • If only I’d had my camera…

    Posted By Inventrix on December 14, 2009

    Sometimes I wish I had a camera attached to my scooter to take pictures of the scenery while I’m driving. Today was definitely one such a day.
    I left for work this morning and what did I see? Fog. Glorious, wonderful fog. And at ten o’clock in the morning! It was wonderful, amazing, beautiful, I LOVE [...]

    Twelve Character Story

    Posted By Inventrix on December 1, 2009

    So! There’s this thing I got tagged by Jeanette Bennett, a.k.a. Scablander to do, which basically is one of those “list X things and then fill in the numbers in the questions below with the matching item” things. This one in particular is for various characters of various media.
    I’ve linked the characters who [...]

    A Prologue

    Posted By Inventrix on November 25, 2009

    I was digging through my Google Docs files the other day and came across some writing projects I’d begun and pushed aside (for whatever reason). In particular, I came across the prologue to a set of serial shorts that I had been planning on writing. Ah, that project. The idea started out [...]

    Do you know the title of this book?

    Posted By Inventrix on November 16, 2009

    There is a book that I read, many many years ago, which I cannot remember the author, title, or even any names of any characters in it. All I remember is some parts of the story and the fact that it weirded me out.
    The second point makes me want to read it again, now [...]

    Baking Brownies: what NOT to do

    Posted By Inventrix on November 10, 2009

    Funny story.
    I was baking brownies for my boyfriend’s birthday, and I added twice the flour needed. Oops.
    After much debate, I decided to finally just double the recipe, despite only having one baking dish. Unfortunately, when I put the batter in said baking dish, I apparently put in rather more than half. Fear [...]

    What are the chances?

    Posted By Inventrix on November 10, 2009

    A couple of weeks ago (actually, exactly two weeks ago) I finally got my scooter back from the shop. Among other minor cosmetic things still wrong with it (mostly by my choice), the little rubber thing that sealed the trunk lock against the side of the scooter was partially detached. My dad and [...]
