If you ask me what I came into this life to do, I will tell you: I came to live out loud. -Emile Zola-
Midweek Geekiness: Hang in There, Spring is Just Around the Corner
Once the weather warms up my body and psyche feel a little lighter. The blustery cold recedes, and I trade in my long winter coat for something shorter, yet just as warmer. I have an idea for the Milestone Widget, but this time will not involve a show or movie. In the mean time a … Continue reading Midweek Geekiness: Hang in There, Spring is Just Around the Corner
Get Out of Your Head and Into Your Legs
On Sunday my group and I had beautiful weather, the sidewalks largely alright despite some icy patches. Monday brought snow courtesy of a front closing parts of Manitoba,Saskatchewan, and Alberta. Environment Canada called it a 'heavy snow fall warning.' While the wind largely died down in the evening, the ice found itself covered in loosely … Continue reading Get Out of Your Head and Into Your Legs
Building Better Worlds through Book Banning
People don't like to be meddled with. We tell them what to do, what to think, don't run, don't walk. We're in their homes and in their heads and we haven't the right. We're meddlesome. -River Tam in Serenity Another Freedom to Read Week has passed for this year. For the past couple of years, starting … Continue reading Building Better Worlds through Book Banning
I Know What You Mean
After logging into WordPress, I zoom straight the Freshly Pressed section. I may find a new blog to follow, but most of the time the ones by writer usually serve as a pick me up. Usually their downs, along with their ups, helps me to not go over the self-deprecating rails. One blog entry from … Continue reading I Know What You Mean
Midweek Geekiness: Back on Track
Downton Zombie Night **Spoiler Alert in Case I put in Spoilers** For a little while Downton Abbey and The Walking Dead find themselves simultaneously recorded on my PVR. It pretty much represents my two sides of geekiness. On one hand we have Downton Abbey in all its period, soapy glory. I love English costume dramas. I … Continue reading Midweek Geekiness: Back on Track
Putting Goals into Play
I set up my 'Goals for 2013' page as a way to set some ideas down. The next step is make them happen. Over monthly brunch on Sunday, E remarked how she's tired of scarves, boots, and jackets. She articulated what I felt lately. My friend R smartly replied we just have to hang on … Continue reading Putting Goals into Play
With a Litte Humour It’s Not That Bad
After my last posting I figured a little Valentine's Day humour is in order. Tonight's movie rumpus choices is either watching Robin Hood (BBC version aka Richard Armitage doing bad-ass things in leather), or The Avengers (Jeremy Renner doing bad-ass things in leather both mesmerized and non-mesmerized.) I need to get my sexy rumpus adventure somewhere.
How Do I Dislike This Day, Let Me Count the Ways
I dislike Valentine's Day. I don't dislike February 14th, that's my late grandmother's birthday. I just don't like the pink-and-red propaganda machine known as Valentine's Day. If you have not guessed it by now, yes I am single. I don't think my tone would change if I had someone in my life. I would remember what it's like to … Continue reading How Do I Dislike This Day, Let Me Count the Ways
The Pope Gives Up Being Pope for Lent
When I sat down in front of my laptop, coffee in hand, I nearly spit out my coffee. The words 'Pope' and 'resignation' have not happened in 600 years. When it comes down to resignations, I didn't expect it from this guy. When Joseph, Cardinal, Ratzinger got elected as Pope my heart sank. The guy has … Continue reading The Pope Gives Up Being Pope for Lent
