Movies, better weather, and yarn winding
Well, I missed last week because reasons… or at least, I think I had reasons, I don’t really remember. So, what have I been up to? Well, watching a lot of movies. I’ve talked about my writing projects a bit here and there and I’ve decided to narrow my...
Aspect ratios, bass clarinet, first Lemax of the year, etc.
Where to start this week… Well, the cell phone bullshit extended to Tuesday, and took my brother’s intervention to fix it all. All I can say is I absolutely hate dealing with telecomm bullshit. And my old carrier’s sales team has been calling me every single day, even though...
Cell swap blues, sacrificing my nails for music, and some garden produce
Yawn… ‘scuse me, I’m a little sleep-deprived this week, had a bunch of nights of not getting more than 5 or 6 hours of sleep and some of those nights were broken up by frequent waking within that time. Also, I’m using “nights” loosely as I’ve been getting to...
Zone 2, ball-smacking, and reblooms
Funny, this is the second week in a row where my first draft of this post ended up being a tangent that I instead made into its own post for later in the week. So, tomorrow there will be a long ramble on my thought process in trying to...
Island View Beach and a whole lot of meh and rambling
What was I up to this week… well, I did start a little bit of bushwhacking in the veggie garden, eliminating a lot of the overgrowth in the tomatos bed and finding a cluster of ripe and delicious cherry tomatos buried in the middle of it all. That was...
Hummingbirds, mulching, TV/DVD set up issues
Well, it’s that time of the week again: time for another vapid life update blog. Shortly before writing this I was chatting with my brother as he looked out at the front garden. Close to the window is the hummingbird feeder I mentioned before, so I asked my usual...
Soft tonguing, “Sasanach santach,” new shoes, etc.
Well, last week’s heatwave peaked right on schedule on Monday afternoon, and it maxed out at 108 in my town instead of the predicted 111. Granted, whichever spot in the blazing sun on my concrete patio that has the outdoor temperature sensor that’s connected to my central air system...
Lizard weather, online shopping, and I finally get a TV
So… greetings from Hell week: And outside: Monday will be even worse: 41 degrees Celsius (yes, I know I mix Fahrenheit and Celsius. I actually like Fahrenheit better, though.) This seems appropriate: Well, at least it’s a relatively dry heat. I remember when I lived in Vancouver there would...
Broken tests, mixed up mugs, garden news, and future shows
Only a few more days til this Mercury retrograde screws off back to Hell for a few months… until the next one. So, I mentioned before that my brother was in Mexico as part of the process of relocating there (and I will likely follow within a year or...
Good riddance to bad Gap clerks, clubs, and guilds… but the butterflies can stay
First and foremost: the giant mulch pile remains. I did take three heaping wheelbarrows’ full off it last weekend but haven’t touched it since. Ah… laziness… So what did I do this week since I didn’t shovel mulch? Well, I did some brainstorming/outlining on a novel I’m writing… that...
