Alter Death Sensei in a Winter Wonderland
The snow crunched under Death Sensei as she walked slow through the snow. She was late, but she knew most people didn’t mind it if she was. These end of year parties, she dreaded them. It wasn’t that she disdained these gatherings, far from it. Having to supply idle conversation was a critical skill she [...]

Beck and the Other Side of Dreams

What does one do after taking the shot [...]
Added Easy Gravatars
Temporarily switching from the Comvatar comment icon to Gravatar via the Easy Gravatar 1.1 plugin. One nice thing about Gravatar is you can keep your icon across any blog that is Gravatar enabled. The downside is few people have one registered (register one!). I’ll see how it goes for a couple of weeks before deciding [...]
