Welcome to Desert Rat’s home-base in the digital sandbox.
Desert Rat*: Def.1: Any of various leaping rodents of desert regions of North America and Mexico; largest members of the family Heteromyidae.
Def. 2: A paradoxical urbanite who feels most at home in a forest, needs to write and make music like breathing, and wishes people could just be decent to each other.
Mimosa: A sparkly drink composed of orange juice and champagne (or bubbly white wine of your choice). A great way to start the day, especially if you can find a spot to watch the sun rise while drinking it.

* Also, Desert Rats is a somewhat obscure, quirky 1953 war movie starring Richard Burton, who plays a Scottish Army officer put in charge of a ragtag band of ANZAC troops on the perimeter of Tobruk, ordered to stay put, while the German Army does its best to dislodge them.




Do you want to be on our little list of NaNo buddies,? Myself, Nienke, chiefbiscuit, and whoever else?
Hey excellent, sure. I’ll pop over to the NaNo site and see if I can find you guys.
Hey! My computer died a grisly death and I don’t yet have a new one so I’m using Chris’. I have access to new e-mails but don’t have any of my addresses or saved e-mails or any such niceties so I don’t have your e-mail addy.
Check this out, my brother showed it to me. :-)

Oh, I meant to mention I’d love it if you e-mailed me something so I could save the address. :-)

Hi danae: Fine with me, links to the Mimosa Effect are always welcome. Thanks for dropping by!
Hi Desert Rat / Fishcat
Wow! You are so much better at keeping your blog updated that I am :)
Just wanted to let you know that the old Stringing Words site was lost, but there is a shiny new one at http://www.stringingwords.com/news.php
I don’t know if URL’s show up, so I’ve popped it as my website as well. Hope Real Life is keeping you well. Take care :)
