Time to get creative

In reading my blog lately, you may have noticed I talk a lot about changes and changing and things going downhill and all that. Without going into details, I’ll just say that, after buying the house, I moved into an apartment. I think that sentence is enough to express the heaviness and sadness and confusionContinue reading “Time to get creative”

Ummmmmm

Please, before reading this post, go here and at least read the letter that was sent to this family in Ontario. <soapbox> Where do I begin? I suppose, to her credit, I should point out that she did use the word retarded in the correct usage. Her neighbor’s grandson was born with slowed mental functions.Continue reading “Ummmmmm”

Probably time for a new blog title, no?

Sunday night finds me on my bed/couch watching Love, Actually. I’m only about 20 minutes in, so the waterworks haven’t started yet. On my drive here from the house earlier, I was struck with a very strange thought that has been bouncing around since then. I was trying to pinpoint what exactly I was feeling;Continue reading “Probably time for a new blog title, no?”

On books

I am writing this post on my iPad because I don’t have my laptop with me, in a strange turn of events. I just finished House of Chains, the fourth book in the Malazan Book of the Fallen series, one of my absolute favorites. While I was finishing (this is a reread. When the tenthContinue reading “On books”

A genius visited

I have to be getting ready for work, so I don’t have a ton of time, but two things I’d like to mention: 1. In Greece, when an orator or artist created and subsequently unveiled their masterpieces, it was said that they had been visited by a genius. Think of a genius like a museContinue reading “A genius visited”

It is here

Since I deactivated my Facebook account (not in, like, a hipster “that’s so 2005” way, but in a “I need my life to be real again” way), I have lost my most frequented outlet for letting folks know what I’m doing on a day-to-day basis. I suppose using my blog for that purpose at leastContinue reading “It is here”

Frame job

What with a gigantic gaming basement now, Eric has been thinking/hoping/dreaming about an epic game table. He did a lot of research online, found some companies that make super game tables, and he mourned the exorbitant prices of them. Thus, he decided that the best option would be to make one. So I spent 5Continue reading “Frame job”

I have dropped so many balls

I’ve never learned how to juggle. My dad can juggle, and he’s tried to teach me, but I can’t seem to get a handle on it. This has greatly decreased my chances of fulfilling one of my life goals: becoming a magician. It’s like a thing with them. But of course I’m only using thatContinue reading “I have dropped so many balls”

…hem some pants?

So in my last post, I mentioned that the world had given me lemons. I’ve collected a few more fruits since that post, and the road has been bumpy. And then yesterday I did something I haven’t done in a relatively long time. I took out my sewing machine. I wasn’t tackling a new projectContinue reading “…hem some pants?”
