On Dasher! On Dancer! On Vodka and Tonic! On Whiskey! On Bourbon! On Sloe Gin and Mixer! Not that I blame the guy. If I knew I was ... http://www.precarioustomato.com/?p=147 So one of the other reasons I decided to come back and revisit my little blog some more is that my awesome friend Michelle and I had an idea a few weeks ago to give ourselves a creative kick in the pants. I'd pretty much stopped doing all my fun ... http://www.precarioustomato.com/?p=146 So um... yeah... and then I blinked and it was... NOVEMBER? (!!!! ??? !!!! ???) I logged into my site stats a little while ago for some boring work-y stuff, and I found out that 180 people came by here the other day. A hundred and eighty? Really? Looked at my ... http://www.precarioustomato.com/?p=145 I haven't been feeling very write-y lately.  I'd like to say that it's because there hasn't been much to say, but it's mostly just me not feeling like saying it.  I think my attention span is more suited to Twitter than it is to blogging these days, and I can't ... http://www.precarioustomato.com/?p=144 After successfully managing for resist its yarny seduction for years (No!

See previous entry, re: the electric company and ... http://www.precarioustomato.com/?p=142 Holy cow, you guys would not believe how much snow we got yesterday!!  For real. I mean, we got genuine, honest-to-god, no-shit SNOW, which I have not seen since I moved to Georgia ten years ago. Actually, I think it was more like twelve years ago. Anyway, it was a ... http://www.precarioustomato.com/?p=141 Do y'all know what this child of mine did the other day? I was making dinner. Nothing exciting, I can't even remember what it was... probably something about some chicken... and Cherry was wandering around the kitchen like she does, chitchatting with herself and the linoleum and the cats about whatever ... http://www.precarioustomato.com/?p=140 In honor of today's inaugural festivities, here is a nifty little thingamabob from Paste magazine that will let you turn yourself (or the hapless infant of your choice) into your very own Shepard Fairey poster. I've been a fan of his work since college but never knew it... we used ... http://www.precarioustomato.com/?p=139 I tried to take a nice "before" picture of the chair. Nothing fancy. Just a plain old boring picture of a chair. All by itself. Alone. Without anything distracting. Or destructive. Or, not to put too fine a point on it... furry.
