  • 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

  • 1/14 – unintentional Witcher review

    I am fresh off watching an hour of ten-year-old Zero Punctuation and realized that I haven’t played any of those games.   None.  And that’s okay.    In a way, it’s kind of disappointing and weird since I’ve never played Half-Life or even Peggle, but still… okay.  Maybe I’m a gamer like a writer – in Read more

  • 1/10

    In a way, I feel like I’ve been self-harming a little bit. Not like mutilation or anything like that. It’s more along the lines of anorexia.    Eating too much.   Not eating enough. Drinking milk, although I know that sets off some very uncomfortable hot flashes.  I endure stress, negative thoughts, and self-doubt which often Read more

  • 12/27

    To be honest, I haven’t felt like writing over the past couple of weeks. That’s not true.    I’ve felt like writing, but haven’t had the willpower or motivation to do anything. I think the reason is because of how I’m reacting to the situations and surroundings presented to me. Just to be clear, I Read more

  • Floridians and Christmas

    I think it was the third or fourth year Obama was president, Jason and I went for a walk a few days before Christmas to see the lights. We saw token lights from the bigger houses, rarely, but the two and three-bedroom houses in the neighborhood where dark – desperately dark.  On occasion, lights peeped 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

  • 11/20

    Yesterday was a lot harder than it had to be. When I left the house, I was feeling pretty good.   All of my homework was caught up.   I met the neighbor, which is odd cause I never meet the neighbors.   It was a gorgeous 80-degree day.  The road was beneath my feet.  I felt pretty Read more

  • Angels V. Ferrari

    Disclaimer: I haven’t watched Ford V Ferrari or Charlies Angles (2019) at this juncture. However, I’m going to give this analysis thing a stab.   Since I really know what’s on the surface, I’ll be able to just sally forth without, hopefully, getting too much off track.  Besides, second and third-hand knowledge seems to be perfect Read more

  • 11/18

    I feel really bad for the cat, Sneezles. There’s been this plumber, Julio, here since about 9:30. He’s doing his job with the drills and banging and whatever to replace some pipes in the wall.    That’s all well and good, but he’s been doing so for two and a half hours.    I imagine Read more

  • 11/13

    Got the first quote for a new roof. I think it sounds great. They’re going to add ventilation to the roof so the heater (northern term) or air handler) to you southerners) will get some air so it won’t sweat so much. In this house, sweaty air handler = air conditioner doesn’t work. That could Read more
