We’ve got 5 new chickens, and said goodbye to an old one.

We’ve got the first flower ever on our banana palm.

We’ve seen blackbirds build a nest, raise their young, and teach them to fly right outside our kitchen window.

We’ve seen the Elk-horn in which the blackbirds nested fall to the ground not long after they left.

I’ve had a vasectomy, I’ve bought new shoes.

We’ve heard King Parrots calling to us, asking for seed.

We’ve had pigeons knock themselves out on the kitchen window.

We’ve taken our daughter to the chiropractor. Alot.

I’ve bought stupid toys that I’ll probably never use.

I have not broken 5 hours sleep for weeks, although it feels like years.

We’ve got friends who are thinking about moving out near us.

We’ve got friends who are moving out near us next week.

And I do not feel like writing about any of it.

So I made a coupe more gentle updates, including the ‘about’ page.

To save you a click, here is what I wrote:

Stacking Theory, for now, is the place I come to dump things.

It’s a bit of a mess at present, to be honest. I’m still trying to find out exactly how it works best for me. The current mix of random thoughts, links, and occasional considered content isn’t really heading this ship in the direction I thought it was.

I’ve been working on a slight re-design as you know, and you’ll probably see some ongoing changes as I try to simplify the design, and separate the content into two streams.

In the meantime, sit back and enjoy the ride - and feel free to let me know what you’re thinking.

We’ve just started watching Spaced again.

Loving it. But would you expect anything less? No.

I’ve made a few gentle tweaks to the design, not sure if I am sold on them yet.

What do you think - are they noticeable, do they work? What would you recommend?

Courtesy of m1k3y, I now hit you all up to watch this.

Yesterday I started a post in my head. A post about weeds.

Ended up too tired sore and grouchy to be bothered. 

I’ll keep it in mind for later.

Oh, and I totally blew the who NaNoWriMo thing. Maybe some other time. I have some thinkings to do.

This one is for Gonty

The Criterion Collection:
” The Criterion Collection The Criterion Collection just launched their new web site, complete with the option to watch several movies online. It’s $5 for a week rental and that’s applied toward the cost of the film on DVD or Blu-ray. Not sure about the quality…the excellent intro movie on the home page says ‘high quality’…not sure if that means HD or what. There are only 17 movies online — including Au Revoir Les Enfants, Solaris, and Lord of the Flies — but they’ll be adding more as time goes on.

Update: Another one for Crumpet

If I was superstitious, I would surely think this house was haunted. Not a day goes by where I don’t spy something out of the corner of my eye, and feel like I am being watched when I know I am alone. I’ve never experienced this outside of this house.

It just happened again….
