There are several reasons this post has taken more than a minute. My son, Remy, was born April 5th at 9:42pm. Woot! Fair warning - I am going to talk about medical stuff that is kind of gross to some people. If you don't like knowing the details of medical procedures, reactions to such procedures,… Continue reading Life Event: Birth!
Review: Alita Battle Angel
I know I'm a little late to this - it's been out for more than 3 days so if you were looking for a review I missed the "important" window for reviews. But to hell with that, I watched the movie and I have opinions and you were crazy enough to come read what I… Continue reading Review: Alita Battle Angel
Writing: Cost of Writing
Still true. I still struggle to find this balance between "reality" (not starving) and "dream" (writing) lifestyle. Someday maybe I can figure it out. Someday maybe I'll find it. Until then - onward!
Books: Resolution
I am dragging myself through The Bell Jar. I can read maybe a chapter at a time - so I am going to go ahead and download A Tale of Two Cities from librivox and start listening to it on my commute to/from work (while I have a commute.... I am downloading "version 2" read… Continue reading Books: Resolution
Life Event: 3rd Trimester
I have been in the 3rd trimester awhile now, but it finally "got interesting" (which isn't a good thing in pregnancy). We were doing great until about two weeks ago when my blood pressure spiked. I won't say there wasn't a catalyst (there was), but it also wasn't entirely without merit. The doctor has been… Continue reading Life Event: 3rd Trimester
Politics: Mueller/Barr
Edit: You can read my thoughts below, but honestly I think this blog sums up a lot of my opinion really well: https://www.lawfareblog.com/how-understand-end-mueller-investigation-hint-you-cant-yet (I didn't read it until AFTER I had written the below) I haven't had a lot of time to process this yet, but I wanted to get some of my initial thoughts… Continue reading Politics: Mueller/Barr
Review: The Teahouse Fire
I actually finished this about two weeks ago, but I needed time to digest it before I wrote any kind of commentary on it. This isn't quite on my "I'm ashamed I haven't read this" book list, but it has been on my "to read" pile for years (literally for years. It had dust on… Continue reading Review: The Teahouse Fire
Review: Korean BBQ
Back at the end of January, my husband and I went to a new Korean BBQ place. One of the "cook at the table" style restaurants. Like a Melting Pot (fondue) or Hibachi (showy) we consider Korean BBQ "experience dining" - you take your time, you enjoy each others' company. Dinner is more than just… Continue reading Review: Korean BBQ
Manners: Terry Crews’ tweet
This started flipping up every once in awhile on my screens late last week and at first I thought it was a one-and-done-gone-too-fast-to-even-consider kind of thing (you know, everything Trump these days). But it just kept popping up all weekend and I finally sat down and did some reading. And I have 2 thoughts on… Continue reading Manners: Terry Crews’ tweet
Writing: PVP vs. PVE
I am going to crossover my gaming and my writing. Let me begin by defining these two acronymns for any non-gamers. PVE is "Player vs. Environment" - almost all single-player games can be put in this category (I know if I say "all" someone will point out an exception - though I can't think of… Continue reading Writing: PVP vs. PVE
