Equinox, escape plans, and a reflush in the garden
Another week gone by. Happy fall! The equinox was this week and I was kinda thinking how I need to be a little bit better at being more in tune with nature. Not in a granola and Greenpeace sorta way, but in a paying attention sorta way. Generally, the...
New Zamos, rain, and dye jobs
Well, we got our first nasty rainstorm yesterday, with over an inch of it. I’m sure the garden appreciated the water, we’ll see how much of a flush of new growth things get in the aftermath. I bet Zamo would not be too thrilled with the return to sweater...
It’s beginning to look a lot like the rainy season, plus the return of cross-stitch and a character interview excerpt
It’s raining again this week, and I’m sure I soon won’t consider that worth mentioning other than to complain. For now, though, it’s refreshing. And I’m sure the garden appreciates it, since I’ve been neglectful. I dunno if it started last June when I fell down the stairs and...
Fall cometh, sax vs. bass clarinet, biceps and a new iMac
Well, it’s now September. Every September 1, I have a ritual of listening to David Sylvian’s “September.” It was neat to see in the comments on that video that I’m not the only one who does that every September 1, and furthermore, I’m not the only one who also...
Lemax set-up 2021
Well, I got my Lemax set-up done for this year, and I wanted to be sure to post some pics. First up, a carnival-ish area on top of the china cabinet in the back foyer: Then I have a small pumpkin and entertainment/music display on the sideboard in the...
Plastic doll beards, actual knitting, and a late summer surprise poppy
Another Saturday afternoon spent watching YouTube and ripping CDs to my laptop so I can then dump the music on a thumb drive so I can move it upstairs to my old iMac whose CD drive has been broken for years so I can listen to them on iTunes....
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...
