  • quick update

    Life has been a bit more crazy than usual for the past couple of months. There’s been a time where I’ve just wanted to curl up and not move for days, but I press on. Kid sister has moved to Avon.    That’s about an hour plus away. Her new and first, as far as… Read more

    …   I just want to say wow. My last post got hits from Australia, India, and the U.S. That is just awesome. You like me.   You really really like me. —  Cliche, yeah, but it helps bring some sort of validation to my life.   Thanks. Okay, moving on… I’ve had this mantra running through my… Read more

    Well…   I’m really not too sure how to feel right now. This morning, little sister told me around 6am  (the time is worthy of note because she is – not – a morning person) that she going to move to a place that’s just a little over an hour away. Her job offered her a… Read more

  • Notre Dame – Our Lady of Pieces

    A couple of lifetimes ago, I had the privilege of visiting Europe on a two-week tour.   It was the summer after my high school junior year.  This was just a year before I knew I was going to become part cyborg.  I was a different me and it was a different time. I worked in… Read more

  • Observations of NieR Automata

    I’m not playing the game — just observing. There’s a couple of things that I’m not quite following. A2 definitely has emotions. Even the little sister called her grumpy lady and she’s distinctly unfriendly with most people, notably Nines at this point, but I’m sure that’ll change.  Grumpy Lady packs a lot of sarcasm. I… Read more

  • On an island.

    There once was a man who lived on a small island.  Coming from a fairly well-off family, he desired political power and, eventually got it through various and, sometimes, not-so-nice means. But, during this time, he built roads, opened a record number of schools, and was honored with numerous awards and certificates, including the Chinese… Read more

    Yeah, okay, I’m a sucker. I accepted that guy’s super late and ‘hey you’ email.  It didn’t change the outcome so I didn’t have to bother with a change-o-grade form.  But, it’s done and graded.   I’m hoping that he’ll learn a non-existant lesson to be more considerate to adjuncts in the future, but who am… Read more

    Today feels like it’s going to be lazy. At one point, I thought that was a curse…  a day without running around in some form of panic and anxiety.  But, I’ve become pretty cool with it as long as it doesn’t happen too often. Actually, I’m feeling fairly tired again. I might take a nap.… Read more

    Change of plans. Today, I was going to head back to the gym.  But, my left leg has started to feel spongy just like my right leg, except in a different spot.    It’s getting to be kind of painful to walk any distance.   —  Guessing it’s pulled muscles from the 70+ km I did… Read more

    This is day two of my Groupon extravaganza. My little Hoosier hometown and surrounding areas aren’t big on Groupon.    This place in Florida is.    My blessed sister has gotten into a habit of buying Groupons for me for various relaxation and well-being services. For example, yesterday I met Dustin and Jessie, his wife. … Read more
