I meant to review this awhile ago, but life got in the way. This has been sitting in my Drafts folder for too long. I really wish I could read this book a second time before I review it. There is a lot to chew on and I hope on a second reading I'll catch… Continue reading Review: Iron Widow
Life Events: Encyclopedia
I have encyclopedias that need a new home. A home that will love it as much as I do.
Manners: Tones Online
I keep reminding myself that, poll after poll, a majority of Americans SUPPORT mask and vax mandates, so (what small comfort this is), the whiny brats getting their way are the loud minority, not the majority. Ooof. A friend-of-a-friend (who I've never met) posted this on FB regarding masks in schools. The "brats" they are… Continue reading Manners: Tones Online
Life Events: Covid
My son has tested positive for Covid. He's been in daycare, so it isn't actually out of the blue, but it still feels sudden. I feel entirely unprepared. Fortunately, as reported, his symptoms are mild. He developed a low grade fever (right around 100F) Saturday which only reappears sporadically since then. He has a slight… Continue reading Life Events: Covid
Politics: Failure of the voters
This is a conversation I've been mulling on lately. The idea actually was seeded from an issue I've had at work my entire career. I'm in corporate training, and a wall I have bashed against many, many times is the "incentive issue." To give an example I think most people have experienced - you call… Continue reading Politics: Failure of the voters
Writing: Solutions shouldn’t be a conversation
I am reading a series where about half the book would be cut out if characters would just say shit aloud. "I don't like this plan because I feel like..." would literally prevent half the plot points. And they keep doing it. It has made me close the book, stand up, and walk away muttering… Continue reading Writing: Solutions shouldn’t be a conversation
Review: Spider-Man No Way Home
This review will contain spoilers. I literally do not know how to review this movie without "spoilers" because it is so about the references. I mean, it pulls in Spiderman villains and such which we haven't seen in the MCU to date. My short review (without spoilers) is this: It's a fun movie for Marvel… Continue reading Review: Spider-Man No Way Home
Politics: Death Penalty
I am against the death penalty. I decided to write about it this week because yesterday the Governor of Oklahoma commuted a man's death sentence hours before his scheduled execution. Seriously, he commuted the sentence at noon for a 4pm execution. And this is after a lot of protests, including school walk outs. God, I… Continue reading Politics: Death Penalty
Religion: Sins of the Father.
I don't write about my faith a lot. I don't know how most of the time. But especially with everything going on in the world right now, this is one that I have been coming back to over and over. Yet he does not leave the guilty unpunished; he punishes the children and their children for… Continue reading Religion: Sins of the Father.
Review: Raya and The Last Dragon
I mentioned I watched this movie, but it wasn't really the focus of that post. So here are my thoughts on the movie. So I was distracted trying to pinpoint aspects of various cultures, and there really are some interesting references to various cultures. I, personally, really like it. I never thought about mismashing viking… Continue reading Review: Raya and The Last Dragon
