I don't drink coffee. My caffeine of choice is tea. A friend recently posted on Facebook about "not being a coffee snob" and I commented that I totally will claim my tea-snobbery. I am a tea snob. THEN another friend private messaged me and said they are trying to cut back on sodas, what tea… Continue reading Review: Tea Recommendations

Review: Rocketbook
I mentioned my Rocketbook on my recent experience fighting to exist. I then realized - I should review this. It's super useful and people don't even know it exists. Well I just gave away the gist of my review - I like my Rocketbook. I happen to like it a lot. I use it a… Continue reading Review: Rocketbook
Review: Qualityland
https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/51pVDZTQzwL.SX329_BO1,204,203,200.jpg https://www.amazon.com/Qualityland-Marc-Uwe-Kling/dp/1538732963 Qualityland was originally published in German, but the English edition came out in January 2020. And I picked it up as an audiobook for my commute. My initial impression is dammmn. It is definitely a book addressing issues of the day. Some of the references are already dated or will be within just a… Continue reading Review: Qualityland
Review: The Screwtape Letters
I had not read this since high school. At the time I was deep in Southern Christian Culture (I need to post more about this sometime). I also was just young (duh, right?). When I read it then I thought it was dense and laborious. Now, with more life experience and political experience (not just… Continue reading Review: The Screwtape Letters
Review: Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell
I almost don’t want to review this book because I feel like I need to read it again to do it justice. Part of this is because my sister told me she enjoyed it the most the third time she read it. I also listened to it (since the end of Anna, this has been… Continue reading Review: Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell
Review: Xiaomi Fitness Tracker & Watch
I had a fitbit long time ago (like first generation fitbit). I ordered a Pebble 2 when they did their Kickstarter. I have a Huawei watch sitting on its charger. I love the data I get from fitness trackers. It tickles the nerdy data-bone in my brain. NOT the default band or face, but here's… Continue reading Review: Xiaomi Fitness Tracker & Watch
2019 Resolution Review
I set myself the goal of just 12 books this year. I had 15 to choose from. I ended up completing 7. I'm disappointed in myself for the most part, but you know my life was just a little crazy this year (I totally blame having a kid for throwing me off my game). I… Continue reading 2019 Resolution Review
Review: Star Wars The Rise of Skywalker
I finally went and saw this one. I didn't want to fight opening-weekend-rush but I also wanted to avoid spoilers (I mostly did). So my Balance was waiting a week and going at 9:30 on Friday morning. Firstly, there's a rumor Disney fired (or is about to fire) the head of Lucas Arts (the Star… Continue reading Review: Star Wars The Rise of Skywalker
Review: Anna Karenina
The TL;DR review for this book (since this is such a damn long book): I wouldn't have minded an abridged version. That is the first time in my life I have read a book and wished for the abridged version. Ok, maybe I would have liked one for Prince of Tides too, but I had… Continue reading Review: Anna Karenina
