Some folks like to get away Take a holiday from the neighborhood Hop a flight to Miami Beach Or to Hollywood But I'm taking a Greyhound On the Hudson River Line I'm in a New York state of mind -Billy Joel The song's laid back style contrasts sharply with its subject. New York feels anything … Continue reading Music Monday: New York State of Mind by Billy Joel
Saturdays involve coffee, reading some of my favourite blogs, and thinking about what to tackle first in my home. The kitchen and bathroom look equally messy. The heap of clothes on the bathroom floor may give that section a victory. Last night I vegged. I had nothing much planned, opting to watch Interstellar with a … Continue reading Time to Breathe
Behold my (work) life for the following few weeks: My laptop, coffee, and me live on the other side of the many piles. School has finished, and for libraries it means summer or project time. (Technically it's spring, but we don't quibble in Canada.) My colleagues pulled books too long on the shelf in what … Continue reading What I Do In Between Writing and Fangirling
The 80's had big hair, and bands with weird names. Last week we had a song by a band with a repetitive name: Duran Duran. Let's go from the repetitive to the rhythmic. Oingo Boingo got its selection for a lot of reasons. Let's start with reason number one-Danny Elfman. He's the name behind some … Continue reading Music Monday: Weird Science By Oingo Boingo

Before tackling our final assignment, it's a small one to apply what we learned. The verdict as I did it? Some things stick, others require poster … Continue reading The Coding Saga: Half-Way Point

On my end I have a story to polish as best it can, and fix up my preface for … Continue reading Off The Wall Moves Forward On Its New Project
Why not have a Music Monday selection with 'Monday' in it? Long before One Direction, in my case it feels much longer, teenage girls went ga-ga over Duran Duran. Everyone had their favourite, and mine was Simon Le Bon. Listening to their albums now, I wonder what Simon smoked to write some of his lyrics. … Continue reading Music Monday: New Moon On Monday by Duran Duran
Forget Ultron, The Avengers' real enemy takes on no form, but can mutate quickly. Its name is Hype. Early reviews on the film confirmed people waited to pick it apart a little more in comparison to the last film. It's darker, but complain about being too dark. They complain about Black Widow, but they at … Continue reading Avengers: Age of High Expectations
Post writing in WordPress has two options: I create using visual most of the time. I started to notice the code in HTML mode as I embedded rdio tracks or Youtube. I already had images, or other such items, and I noticed the coding arrangement. Beyond paragraphing, bold, and italics, plus some headers, codes for … Continue reading The Coding Saga Continues: Now I Know What Some of This Stuff Means
