This morning I was in a real funk. I was mulling over the misaligned values I often aware I have, and was feeling real guilt about it. Shadowhelm had linked a clip of Dr. Neil deGrasse Tyson talking to Bill Maher about “mortgaging our future”:
I was wondering where it had all […]
Since the last blog post, I’ve further refined my long term plans and how to get there. I am doing an old, outdated version of Dan Miller’s 48 Days program, which really has helped me to focus this whole process instead of my usual route of second guessing myself every step of […]
Today I’m working on my Mission Statement. Two years ago I had A Plan to go back to school and get my engineering degree. I was gonna work for NASA! Or even better, Richard Branson. Whatever. Don’t get me wrong, I was deadly serious about it, despite my own apprehensions. I really felt like this […]
I waited for this? She’s launching an official interactive fan site? Oh, she’s participating in it, so there will be some exclusive content. But it doesn’t sound like a web series, even. Also, naturally, you can buy stuff. How on earth is this as exciting as another book? Maybe I’m missing something, but I’m a […]
This weekend I accomplished something that I’ve been half-heartedly attempting for half my life. I finished reading Moby Dick! The book was torture, but I read every last word. (I refuse to skip or even skim the boring parts of books like many people do. It doesn’t count otherwise.)
When I graduated high school, my […]
When an actress takes off her clothes onscreen but a nursing mother is told to leave, what message do we send about the roles of women? In some ways we’re as committed to the old madonna-whore dichotomy as ever. And the madonna stays home, feeding the baby behind the blinds, a vestige of those days […]
I just realized I haven’t even paid rent this month, I’ve been so busy. Thankfully I have a 5 day grace period. What’s worse is I missed the chance to post this. I don’t care, it’s worth it and a nice change of pace from obsessing about death and destruction. In case you’re not familiar, […]
Last night was the deadliest tornado destruction in Alabama in my lifetime. We watched the television and internet in horror as an F5 missed our home by mere miles. There was a mountain between us and the storms, so it seemed deceptively calm as this vicious tornado ripped through my city. I called everyone […]
As I was walking yesterday, I saw a lightly blushing flower with a corona shape. The octagon crown of petals were attached, like some people’s earlobes are, and had a darker pink trailing tear pointing towards the center. In their cup shape, they were about the circumference of a nickel. I wished instantly that I […]
I’m on a bit of a Jonathan Coulton kick at the moment. He’s witty, redheaded, sings, and has a beard. Yay! I’ve seen him in concert, opening for TMBG. (John Flansburgh is producing his next album, by the way.) I even just bought “Everything” from his store because I […]
