I’m Rara. Rawra. The Saur. Rarasaur.
Radhika. Radha. His wife. Ra.
Oh, call me whatever you want so long as you say it kindly. The important thing to note that is that I’m obviously basically a dinosaur.
Welcome to my little bloggy town! ❤
‘Round these parts, you’ll see that I blog (nearly) everyday about what makes us tick, the awesome internet, cryptobeasts, prison, widowhood, muppet philosophy, and blogging.
Before you get started, here is a list of things you probably should know:
- I love lists.
- I live in Southern California and can’t stand the beach.
- I’m a techie, nerd, and geek. (Yeah, they’re different things.)
- I don’t eat sugar. Usually.
- I spent 438 days incarcerated and was released July 18th, 2015.
- I’m here for you if you need something– just email me.
- The moon is 63,057,742 very tall giraffes away.
- I read thousands of books a year and never blog about them.
- My husband — artist, blogger, writer, Dave Martinez (Pen name, Grayson Queen) — passed away in May 2015 from kidney failure.
- This blog turned 3 years old in August 2015.
- The picture above was picked by popular demand. I generally don’t like pictures of myself where I’m not holding a cup of caffeinated beverage, or sitting by a dinosaur.
I love people who do things, people who hate things, people who love things, and (probably) you.
Get comfortable, say hey, and tell me a little something about what makes you tick so we can start doing frightfully wondrous things.
Come on, let’s go!

Hello Rara. I’m so pleased you found my blog and liked my work, not least because in the process I found your wonderful blog. The randomness of the blogosphere is amazing. Here we are, pinging off each other, occasionally grouping into larger blogoids. Well I’m on your world now, and you are on mine. If I may, might I recommend my post ‘on the origin of cats’ to you. Other feline fanciers have enjoyed this particular randomness.

Hello beautiful friend 🙂 previously we were starting to get to know each other and my main blog was Contortum Designs. Just recently I felt the need for a new space as my purpose in blogging has changed quite a bit. My new blog is called Sidereal Catalyst, I’d love it if you’d follow me over there! You can find it @ http://www.siderealcatalyst.com – I am so happy you are back, I just connect with your writing and find myself so inspired by you!
