  • 1/28 — Thinking/ramble

    Okay. I’m thinking of an idea and I don’t know if it’ll come out right.    This is definitely rambling while I freewrite and try piece this together. Politics have been huge.   Like huge huge, but it wasn’t always this way.  We have the left and the right. At one point… like back in the… Read more

  • Cut hair, smashed hands

    From my post a couple of days ago about Charlie’s Angels, I keep thinking about equality in stories.    Any story. I’m not referencing equality gained or equality lost.  Anything with some sort of downtrodden princess is right out. Some poor soul who rises through the ranks to save the world.  Nope.   That’s not what… Read more

  • *** I’ve been trying to write this for a couple of weeks now. It’s a bit dated, but please bear with me. Okay. Short version. Gencon – A place where people like to play (games) with other people in a generally non-sexual fashion.  Some people like to pay tribute to particular games, television shows, or… Read more

  • I’ve indulged in the time-wasting click bait of what type of animal, princess, or Happy Days character am I.   Okay, so maybe not the Happy Days one, but you get the idea. These things don’t really mean anything and it’s painfully obvious that the questions are uninspired.  The outcome could be whatever you want. Well,… Read more

  • 12/4

    I’m exhausted. What’s with the pink? There were pink walls, pink robes (the ones that tie in the front), and pink plastic bags. There was pink wrapped candy if I cared to pick any up. The pictures where ugly pink flowers. Pink. Pink. Pink. Pink. I get it.   Breast cancer awareness is a pink ribbon,… Read more

  • Wedding Mint

    My sister is the bride’s maid for her best friend’s wedding this August. Today was our first outing looking for a dress at the local bridal shop. As soon as I walked in, this wedding dress, shining white with silk, lace, and bows, was waiting to greet me.  It was wrapped around an immaculate headless… Read more

  • Yesterday, we had another school shooting. And yesterday, yet again, a lot of people blamed video games, guns, bullying, ect ect ect.   At this point, I really don’t think anything is really be done. Suggestions to stop or deter it has been teachers carrying guns, which I’m oddly for.  Having worked in a public school… Read more

  • For whom the rice throws.

    Okay, well, I guess they don’t throw rice at weddings any more.   I read somewhere that it swells up inside a bird’s stomach and it could kill them.  I’m not sure what’s thrown any more.   Surely, it’s not confetti or anything.   That wouldn’t be earth friendly.    How about bread crumbs?  As 21 rifle salute? I… Read more

  • A wyrd time of year

    When I was in Florida, I missed this season the most — well, second most. Green leaves turn to red, brown, and yellow.   The limbs are barren.   Corn, once nurtured to be tall and strong, is swept away, much like death taking our own – stalk by stalk.  Life by life. During this time of… Read more

  • It simply amazes me that Hillary Clinton is still placing blame. It was the Russians that caused her the promised election.   It was Bernie.   It was the emails.  It was this.  It was that.   It’s not her fault that she lost.   That honor belongs to someone else, probably Comey. And her loss caused her to… Read more
