da smoke gets in your eyes

There’s a fire somewhere and it’s blanketing the whole Anchorage bowl in smoke. V. smelly. Emily was commenting last night that the sky was weird, and lo: it was, because of the smoke coming in. We just didn’t know it was the smoke, last night. Emily and Ted and I went to see The Interpreter last night. Emily had her suspension of disbelief broken once, and Ted thought it was too long (it was, compounded by it getting increasingly hotter in the theatre), but I enjoyed it a lot. More…

Ted’s mumbly and dadbly have headed back to Fairbanks, as Gary is doing just fine. We’re all very glad of it. :) Pretty weird, that you can have heart surgery via an incision in the hip. Jai and Emily and I saw The Upside of Anger last night, and enjoyed it very much. I’d intended to do a double-header and go see The Interpreter, too, but the website seemed to indicate that such a thing wasn’t possible. Upon arriving at the theatre, it proved to be, so fnrt. Anyway, I’m…

Murphy…

…and a damned good thing, too! I am Karrin Murphy. I head up one of the most thankless jobs in Law Enforcement. Half the department thinks I’m just crazy. The other’s simply convinced I’m dangerous. They all think I’m due for an early retirement. And they’ve all been wrong longer than they’d like. It’s my job to protect the people who can’t protect themselves. I’m never one of them. Me and the boys in Special Investigations stand between the rest of Chicago and the darkness, armed only with our guns…

changes

Everybody should now be able to read the main page at mizkit.com. Sorry for that last design. :P For those of you who asked, it was different versions of IE which failed to work and I don’t remember what all they were, but for God’s sake. As a coworker of mine used to say, “It’s as if, if your television show was filmed using a Sony camera, it can’t be watched on a Panasonic TV.” The artwork to the left there is Chance, from the comic book I’d like to…

flat as a pancake

I feel flat as a pancake. Gary ought to be home this morning, so that’s good. Ted was reading all the comments last night and said, “You have nice friends,” to me, so thank you all for the good wishes and good thoughts. Very much appreciated. We have pictures of Gary’s heart, now. It’s sort of like magic! Our neighbors have put their house on the market for $219K. We’re waiting with fascination to see if it sells at that, because it’s identical to ours, except they have much less…
