Yesterday I gave away my couch. My couch was my first "adult" purchase. Before my car. Before my first mattress. I brought home my kitties to this couch. This is the couch I cried on when I had my first serious heartbreak. I know it's "silly" to get sentimental over a piece of furniture, but this… Continue reading Memories: My Couch
Author: Librin Latone
Writer, nerd, and perpetual student. I am obsessed with books - both the reading and the making of them. If I won the lottery I would try to have the best private(ish) library in the world. It wouldn't be totally private because the whole purpose of having books is helping other people find a book they will love.
I have 2 cats, Genkii (energy) and Kawaii (cutie). I will mention them regularly because they are a daily delight in my life. Granted, sometimes when I'm playing video games they are not so much "delight" as they are "distraction"... but I love them regardless.
Memories: Animal Activism
I am not the greatest animal activist. I would like to do more to help with things like Lolita - the killer whale in a tiny tank. I would like to save the tigers and elephants and rhinos. I would like to protect habitats being eroded by greedy logging and farming. I think these are… Continue reading Memories: Animal Activism
Politics: A Christian Liberal
Let's begin with defining "Christian" (note the capital "C" here). This is anyone who professes true faith in Jesus as Christ and Savior - affiliated with a church or not. You then have "christians" who attend a church and may or may not be Christians. There are a lot of Christians outside the church sphere… Continue reading Politics: A Christian Liberal
Review: Kermit & Piggy
Is she Mrs. Piggy if she married Kermit? With the recent announcement that Kermit & Piggy separated, I have done a lot of thinking about them as characters. It bothered me, and it has bothered me since the 2011 movie came out and how they portrayed the muppets there... they felt "wrong" and it is only… Continue reading Review: Kermit & Piggy
Life Choice: Start a side business?
I changed jobs a little over a year ago and of course immediately had a set of people who reached out, "oh, you were successful at this HORRIBLE JOB HUNTING THING - can you help me?" So I looked at a few resumes, gave a little feedback. Occasionally, we sat down and battered the resume… Continue reading Life Choice: Start a side business?
Manners: Defining people by “generation”
I was at a business conference for trainers and someone at my lunch table started talking about "Millennials" and "how on earth do we engage this generation?!?" like it is some strange mystery. I looked at her and replied "by treating us like people." She was shocked and embarrassed. I explained that I am a "millennial" and… Continue reading Manners: Defining people by “generation”
Life Memories: Hard choices
Sunday night I picked up Genkii, my 8 year old male cat and felt a spot on his side. It felt like a lump. Right in his "armpit" - I know on humans there is a lymph node there and infections there are (A) painful and (B) dangerous. I feel utter panic. My mind instantly went over… Continue reading Life Memories: Hard choices
Politicis: Open Letter to Senators
I wrote to both of my senators early in July after the SCOTUS (Supreme Court Of The United States) ruling on Michigan v. EPA. Sadly, albeit not surprisingly, I got no response. So I am turning it into an open letter on the internet and I would encourage everyone to seriously consider reaching out to your representatives.… Continue reading Politicis: Open Letter to Senators
Writing: The most interesting day
This is something I've heard many times - when writing a novel (or a short story) the reader should be the participant in the most interesting day(s) of the protagonist's life. It almost makes me want to write a series of short chapters which are literally the 24 hours which end up being the most… Continue reading Writing: The most interesting day
Review: The 10th Kingdom
This is one of my favorite books and mini-series. The show isn't exactly like the book, but it does a very close job of it. I probably watch this once a year (maybe every 10 months) and I've read the book an average of every 16 months since the first time I read it. If you haven't… Continue reading Review: The 10th Kingdom
