The musings and ramblings of a day dreamer.
March 3rd (I know, I'm late - I got sick!) I got my hair cut. I chopped off about 14 inches (it was 13.75 inches - so i'm rounding up). I took before, during and after pictures: This isn't the first time I've done this "rapid transformation" so to speak. Every three or four years I… Continue reading Life Events: Haircut
Given all the discussions both in politics and society, I feel like this needs to be said again. And Again. And Again.... Manners: Snowflakes
So some background here (and eventually I'll explain the picture!): As I was writing my thoughts on Scalzi, I went looking for Dickens quotes and found (God I love Gutenberg) letters! In one of them (I was searching keywords but this letter made me pause for context) I found this AMAZING line: I can imagine… Continue reading Politics: Too many Boswells?
I ended up in the ER yesterday. I am ok now, but damn that sucked. NOT how I wanted my husband to spend V-day with me. That was NOT the plan (there wasn't a real plan just "spend time together" so.... we did that!) I went to my pulmonologist last week for my bi-annual check… Continue reading Life Event: Asthma
This is not a review of Collapsing Empire (John Scalzi) because it's the first of either two or three books - and I am chomping at the bit to be able to get #2. I am actually really glad I waited to read it until now - if I had read it when it first came out… Continue reading Musing: Book of my Time
This book is imperfect (I have critiques) but it is definitely on my list of "books I'll recommend to someone." If that sounds like a contradiction - well, you can enjoy something that is imperfect despite it's imperfections. Here, There be Dragons is, at it's core, a fun adventure novel. I thought it was a… Continue reading Review: Here, There be Dragons (James Owen)
I have 2 reviews in progress but have written little more than intro paragraphs on them. It has been such a crazy week for my paying-the-bills job that a LOT has slid to the side (my wonderful husband has been so supportive, I can't even tell you how much I have needed him this week).… Continue reading Life Events: Apologies!
I am struggling. I am struggling soooo hard with this book right now. In general, I like Brandon Sanderson's books, but I picked up Way of Kings from the library and.... I am slogging. I blame his editor. His editor needed to look him in the face and say "Dude. You don't need to say everything… Continue reading Review: Struggle Reading
It's a weird cross-over that I want to make a professional presentation dressed as Batman's Harly Quinn (the full suit version from the 90's cartoon). I want to talk to the managers in the company and stand up and say, "Hello puddin'!" And then talk about manipulation of emotional intelligence. We all do it to… Continue reading Writing: Emotional Intelligence
I still think this is a topic we need to be having. Like constantly tell men they don't have to have sex to be vulnerable shouldn't be shocking.
