Within 30 minutes of posting my previous tablet piece, Eli messaged me "you know, there's an apple store right by my office" He also convinced me to go with wifi-only model, with the promise that if I really, truly miss/need LTE we'll look at adding a wifi hotspot to our cell phone plan. So that… Continue reading Tech: Tablet… upgrade?
Baby Stuff: Monitor
Baby Monitors are insane. Ridiculous. We were super lucky that some friends gave us their baby monitor to help us get started. It was less than a year old and really has given us a chance to see what is good and bad in a baby monitor. And there are some ridonkulous baby monitors out… Continue reading Baby Stuff: Monitor
Happy 4th of July!!
I've gone through and highlighted some items I think are important to the current political conversation. IN CONGRESS, JULY 4, 1776 The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America. When in the Course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another… Continue reading Happy 4th of July!!
Reviews: How I approach them
I'm sure anyone who is reading my reviews regularly knows this, but I'm going to confess I don't have a system for my reviews. When I first started them (if you go back and look at the oldest of them), I tried to follow some kind of pattern. Set a structure and stay inside it.… Continue reading Reviews: How I approach them
Tech: The Tablet Hunt
My tablet is dying. I have finally had to admit it doesn't hold much charge, the bluetooth keyboards can not manage to stay connected (yes, I have 2 and both of them are in bad shape too). I do NOT want to do this, but Eli is pretty sure my tablet was purchased in 2013… Continue reading Tech: The Tablet Hunt
Politics: the GOP is an asshole boyfriend
Fair warning, I am going to use some foul language in this post. I have tried to take it out and I keep putting it back. It needs to be there. The language BELONGS in this post. When I was in college I dated a guy who did one thing consistently that drove me utterly… Continue reading Politics: the GOP is an asshole boyfriend
Writing: Urban Fantasy
I've tried a few times to write urban fantasy. I find it less than fun even when I like my idea/character/etc. I recently was re-reading something I had written (in this genre) and reached the "damn, I wish I had finished this - I want to read the ending!" (of which there isn't one) point.… Continue reading Writing: Urban Fantasy
SCOTUS: Windbag
I haven't done a breakdown of a SCOTUS (Supreme Court of the United States) in a while (they were poorly read so I haven't bothered with the research needed). BUT, I do still sometimes read opinions. And I just have to say Clarence Thomas is a windbag. He isn't stupid or anything, but I feel… Continue reading SCOTUS: Windbag
Review: Wayfairer trilogy
I pretty much stumbled across this series and found myself drawn in. I never realized a book without strong plot could be enjoyable. All those "character books" I had to read in middle and high school (I'm looking at you Pat Conroy) where it's exploring "the human experience" or whatever. I disliked those. But the… Continue reading Review: Wayfairer trilogy
Musings: Clothing sizes and who buys them
I have long been jealous of how men's clothing is sized. Specifically, men's pants - waist and length. Women's clothing is NOTHING like that. It's an arbitrary letter (S, M, L) or number (8, 14, 20) - which really has no external verification for "accuracy." So I am sometimes a Large shirt. Sometimes Extra-Large. In… Continue reading Musings: Clothing sizes and who buys them
