Once again, the weekly roundup of my corner of Tumblr:

My posts

You can read all the BPAL horror contest finalists here; I posted my Butterscotch Witch story yesterday. I honestly thought I was going to get my ass beat for ending it on a pun, so I’m glad people seem to like it. 

It has been fuckall degrees below freezing all week, and north Alabama got, like, seven inches of snow? I’m in central so we’re fine, beyond babysitting the pipes to make sure they didn’t freeze, but I am very cold and achy and sleepy. 

I may write up my Dust Strategies this week. It is important to know that they are the strategies of someone currently battling dust up to her ears, not someone who lives in exquisite cleanliness.
