A ramble on Bono, singer’s doubts, blue notes, etc.
Fuck… where do I even start with this… well, how about a screen shot? This came up a couple days ago, I guess. I haven’t heard the actual podcast it’s from yet, but I guess Bono went into some depth about the various doubts he has about the sound...
Earthquake!
So, this morning I was stuck in some icky dream which I now don’t remember other than the feeling. And then in a split second, I woke up, heard a loud boom, and the ground started to shake with various items rattling on various surfaces. I ducked under the...
Another week, another vapid life update post… this time with more Barbies… LOL…
Well, it’s Saturday, and more importantly, it’s the day after Walpurgisnacht, which passed with no major calamities this year, so we’ll call that a win. At least for me. I do hope the slug bait pellets I scattered in the garden last night caused some major calamities for those...
Shopping and loading up the china cabinet
It’s that time of the week… Well, I heard back from the local university, weeks after I decided I didn’t want to waste money going, lol… accepted, of course, with a shitload of transfer credits (as far as the university is concerned, I’m straight into third year, though the...
First day of spring, new musical interests, and being stiff and sore
Happy equinox/first day of spring… finally! I had my first clematis blossoms open on my really early Clematis armandii ’Apple Blossom’ And I almost have daffodils open (outside of the teeny mini-daffodils), but I guess those are for next week. Yeah, I said that last week, but the Replete...
Transplanting and throne room music
Most of my productivity seems to have been outside in the garden this week. I’ve been bitching about my squirrel issues, which seem to be done for now (fingers crossed!). One of the things I’ve been mindful of is making sure there isn’t any large or sturdy branch within...
Squirrels suck, free downloads, and other news
That time of the week again: the Saturday life update blog. Well… let’s see here… Zamo was right about squirrels. Dad’s been thwarting the squirrels in various spots, but somehow they’ve still been getting in. I haven’t heard them in the attic of the house in the last few...
Forget what I said about university, lol…
First up, an update about the whole returning to university thing: Yeah, forget that. LOL… I mentioned a bit about this on the last episode of Under My Skin, but the decision is now final. I started having doubts last week, though both my brother and my best friend...
Book of the week: The Artist’s Way (plus how I ended up working through it)
Where to begin with this one… well, about a year ago I was feeling the need to get back to making some sort of art, having spent the majority of my creative energy in the previous couple years either involved with buying and renovating and decorating my house (plus...
Winter’s last (I hope!) snow tantrum and I’m never wrong but I might have been not entirely correct this one time
Ah, it seems like I just wrote the last Saturday blog… The snow fell, about 5-6” of it at my house, and while it did cover everything, it seems the irises are now emerging from it not that much worse off than before it hit. I expect this is...
