Two Bodyheads, Paul Rumsey.

Happy birthday, Dickens.

“I’ll tell you,” said she, in the same hurried passionate whisper, “what real love it. It is blind devotion, unquestioning self-humiliation, utter submission, trust and belief against yourself and against the whole world, giving up your whole heart and soul to the smiter–as I did!”

Happy birthday, Dickens.

The Brick Testament: the Bible Illustrated in Lego

2012 February 6

Was reminded of this today — oddly, by an article in Mother Jones. I sure do love it, especially Revelation (natch).

Today.

2012 February 4

Today I…
… played Rapunzel with my daughter. She calls me Mother Goblin, and makes me climb stretched out t-shirts in order to get onto the couch.
… did a shitload in the garden, including transplanting the tulsi and fertilizing pretty much everything.
… put a crapload of brahmi amla oil in my hair to try to repair eleven years of dreadlock damage.
… wrote two whopping sentences of my short story.
… still didn’t finish answering emails.
… got nowhere cleaning the still room.
… attempted to archive more Lilith Stories onto my blog.

The demoness is in bed, and Teddy is home from work, taking a Dad Nap on the couch. I’m heading up to the bath while the house is quiet.

Let’s see what I can get done tonight. Idle hands, and all that.

Happy birthday, George Romero!

I’ve been so busy the past few years that I haven’t really blogged. To be honest, I haven’t done much more than work, parent, and work some more. I had every intention of blogging up Lilith’s life so that I’d always remember… well, everything. It was just so difficult to pull off with the hours that I’ve been working. At the end of the day, I’ve just been drained dry. I’m making an effort to go back through Facebook and grab all the snippits of life I’d posted there and compile them in my blog.

It’s a daunting endeavor. Looking back through the years to 2008… I still seem to talk quite a lot, but only in tiny, tiny sentences.

I need to try this: Baked Egg in an Avocado.

Spider mites, prepare to meet your maker.

Have any of you gardenin’ types had any luck controlling spider mites with these suckas? I’m thinking about picking some up for my mite problem (they’re already gathering on my jasmine), and getting some of the beneficial nematodes and lacewings, too, while I’m at it. Fun fact: lacewings have been my favorite insect since I was Lilith’s age.

Harmonices Mundi

2012 February 3

This is a creativity blend geared specifically towards musicians. It is more than an inspiration blend: it is an oil designed to help you tap into the harmony of the universe — the music that propels, sustains, and expands all life – as a direct source of inspiration.

Twilight Alchemy Lab’s Harmonices Mundi Oil contains essential oils, absolutes, and CO2 extracts that are organically-grown and pesticide-free, and many of the oils’ components are first distillations from small farms. This oil includes wild-crafted steam-distilled frankincense, organic rosemary verbenone from flowering tops, sweet orange essential oil, organic lavender essential oil, Somalian patchouli, organic star ruby grapefruit essential oil, Himalayan cedar, and mugwort distilled from the TAL garden’s 2010 harvest.

Music of the spheres was created on February 3, 2012, and was charged as part of our in-house Neptune in Pisces event.

All of our products are created using the finest quality herbs, resins, oils, absolutes, and compounds. They contain no filler and no synthetic materials.
