When the Cat’s Away…

When the cat’s away, nothing seems to happen around here.  That is assuming I am the cat, of course.  Meow.  Not that you guys can do anything – you can’t make my posts for me, and you certainly can’t follow through with the plans I’ve had for this place, posting the 100 Words carnivals and [...]

My 100 Words: And One More!

Last week we had a great turn-out for Your 100 Words.  This week, we’re going to go with a little bit of a lighter topic:  Exercise!
Laying there in bed, he doesn’t want to move.  Every muscle aches, every joint throbs.  Most mornings aren’t quite so difficult, but this is the first dawn after the day [...]

The Carnival of Finality!

Okay, while the name might suggest it, this is decidedly NOT the last Carnival of Words.  However, they (whoever the everpresent they may be) say “death is final”, thus the name.  But let’s not carry on too much about that – we should get to the writing!  I started out this week with thoughts about [...]

Your 100 Words: Death

They say it’s hard to let go once someone is gone, but if I were standing along side his grave, it would be easier than it is now.  There would be no uncertainty, for there is nothing more sure than death.  Once it’s over, after all, it’s over.  No, it’s much more difficult to visit [...]

The Carnival of “100 is Relative”!

Like I promised, a couple days later – or three days, which, as we all know, is one more than a couple – here is “Livin’ La Vita Joka’” Carnival!  My original post…

Yarrr!

Shiver me timbers!  Baton the hatches!  Furl the mainsail!  We be ready to weigh anchor and sail out into the cold black waters of International Talk Like a Pirate Day!  Are ye prepared to read the mad scribblings of a soul filled with love for the briny deep?
You there!  Be ye an addlepate?  Get ye [...]

Two Truths Forward, One Lie Back

It’s Wednesday, and while for some that means the week is winding down toward a relaxing weekend, those of us at the Project know it really means it’s time for truthification and fibulatory lines.  That’s right, everyone, it is once again time for Two Truths and a Lie!  It’s a bit of a guessing game, [...]

Your 100 Words: Living La Vita Joka’

This week, I think I’m going to try something different.  Instead of giving you a word, I want you to take a joke – any joke – and turn it into a 100 Word post.  Here’s mine:

Carnival of Lateness!

So yesterday was Friday!  But it was a busy day, and I didn’t get to the Carnival before crashing at the end of it all.  It was a good day, though, one filled up by time spent with family and friends, as my sister-in-law (HMI’s sister) and her new husband came to visit.  Good times [...]

100 Words: Feeling the Rhythm

Hey there, everyone, and my most profound apologies for waiting until afternoon to post this, but things needed doing, and I was the designated doer. They are, however, done, and now it’s time for your weekly dose of precision verbosity. That’s right, this is the assignment, the prep work for the second Carnival [...]
