I have to say, I'm glad I tried out a "financial diet" recently, and at least that first week went well and I learned from it, because I'm going to have to stretch that initial week into a habit for at least the rest of the year. To the curious, I've had a lot on … Continue reading When you literally can’t afford to be afraid anymore…
This shipwreck nerd is amazed and pleased, I must say. I had to stay home today and in between restful naps and breaks for tea and meds, I found this story on NPR's feed. Mind. Blown. Granted, this is one wreck I hadn't really paid much attention to at all in my occasional forays into … Continue reading The “Endurance” Has Been Found, & it’s easily the best looking shipwreck I’ve seen pics of yet
I could probably find a better description for the HBO mini-series, but that's what's come up after I went to bed to kind of mull over my impressions of what I'd seen. As a history-buff, anything based on a true story is pretty well up for the viewing, especially if I've read up on the … Continue reading Not one for binge-watching, but spent all last night with “Chernobyl” for the first time… & it was dreadfully amazing.
My Copy: 9781250208545 (image from goodreads.com) Well, I'm still trying to absorb all I read about over the past month (I know, I'm surprised it took me that long to read it, too...but it's been such an eventful past month, so maybe it's not all that surprising in the long run). But wow--there was a … Continue reading The Butlerian Jihad (Legends of Dune #1), by Brian Herbert & Kevin J. Anderson
I wasn't expecting my well... expectations, for lack of a better word, to change so drastically thanks to just some random browsing online in between work call-ins, power outages, and migraines. And today I overhauled my reading schedule to take advantage of my new plans. Now, I've written a little before about the 1984 film … Continue reading A piece of music & a film trailer have made my imagination very busy this past week & change…
It's really strange how some of these things come about, but I do know part of what started it was browsing the Chaos Lord's domain: YouTube. You know how it works. You click on a vid to watch or listen to, there's a bunch of suggestions on the side, and before you know it you've … Continue reading I found myself fascinated with musical theater within 48 hours. How the hell did THAT happen?
Sorry that sounds confusing. But some musicians like John Mayer are a little pissed off about this article and have spread it wide in their social media. And the guy I like to watch most (other than Beau) on YouTube is Rick Beato, because I'm trying to get back into music theory and practice big … Continue reading A worthwhile (& educational) rant: Rick Beato’s response to an insulting opinion article regarding Paul Simon selling his song catalog.
My Copy: 9781401324391 (image from rareseeds.com) I'll just say right now that I'm a huge buyer of heirloom seeds from Baker Creek Heirloom Seed Company. When that seed catalog showed up in my mailbox, thicker than my town's phone book... let's just say it's the first time I thumbed through a catalog cover to cover … Continue reading The Heirloom Life Gardener: The Baker Creek way of growing your own food easily & naturally, by Jere & Emilee Gettle with Meghan Sutherland
My Copy: 9780879755355 (image from bn.com) I'd been itching to read this 30 year old book since I first heard of James Randi, and watched some of his lectures from the past 10 years. I've always had this weird, bitter feeling when it comes to the subject of "faith healers." You might think this was … Continue reading The Faith Healers, by James Randi
I think I've figured out why my plans to get lots of veggies in my system (and curb my cravings for quickie carbs and sugars by trying to eat healthier) have backfired so damn much. I typically start the same ways: go to the store and get those bagged salads to try some different flavors … Continue reading Q #152: Is it better to have fresh vegetables or cooked vegetables… or “who gives a damn, just eat your veggies!”?
