Studio8 - Uniting the Arts

my mice invasion is a tale of relentlessness they are plentiful....and trap-averse won't touch em.....   Many years ago I had a similar problem - the traps were setting themselves off, and the mice helping themselves to the bait. So I designed & built my own mousetrap out of a galvanized stovepipe ...

sleep visions -
where are my exams?
my dorm room?

plush atrium
deep red carpeting
many levels

ruined building
urban spelunking
vaulted chambers

  wring out the old - it's already dripping onto the new... stampeding herds of mindless MAGAs following the will of their Deity to burn loot kill to articulate their views by snarling through clenched teeth with an enormous club raised overhead... distinguished lawmakers who after four years have f...

today it starts -
physical therapy -
relearn to walk

playing with matches
can burn one's fingers -
and sometimes the house

almost too late did Cruz, McConnell, Collins, all the suck-up enablers see what they hath wrought: not until the red-capped Mongols waving guns and Confederate flags infest their citadel did they feel the cold reality the rest of us have endured these long four years... belatedly did lap dog Pence (...

Dear 2021 - please grant sanity to those who thought that a nation could be run like a corrupt business... please bring awareness to those unable to grasp the notion that not wearing a mask is no different than shitting in a public water supply... please show the right-wing that maybe law enforcemen...

Mice - until a few years ago, I never realized they were cannibalistic. One morning I discovered a mouse haunch in one of the traps - and a day o...

  The mice have launched their annual invasion upon my Keep. I've whacked six so far - four the first night I set out the traps, one each on subsequent nights. None in the last few days. I toss their corpses out into the yard as a warning to the others, but something eats them before the memo gets s...

count me as a fan of pie
(both with and without the 'e')
but I don't begrudge one their cake
I mean
I dig classical music
but not opera
and if you like opera -

hey I hear ya

since the arthritis laid me up
my pants seem to have shrunk

  Christmas Day, 2020 - dull, gray, and wet here in the laurel swamps And that's just fine by me. The NWS had originally called for pounding rain with gale-force wind gusts - and no amount of preemptive cutting can cull all those trees destined for imminent toppling. Forty-five mph (~65 kph) winds c...
