I Miss Obscure & Nonsensical Blog Titles

At long last, I found a product I had been searching for.  I plan to review it tomorrow. Expect pretty much only praise, because it turns out it is the best.  The review requires pictures and pictures require natural light, so for now, a picture I took earlier this week with natural light: Share the post “I Miss Obscure & Nonsensical Blog Titles” FacebookXShare… Continue reading

Movie Review: The Hunger Games

I’m not usually the reviewing type, as I can’t get a feel for most movies that come out these days. That said, the books were recommended to me a month ago, I read them all in a matter of a couple weeks (which is good for me in for recent years), and for the first time in a while there was anticipation about an upcoming movie tingling deep inside, although even deeper down I was pretty sure of inevitable disappointment.  We managed to score some … Continue reading

The Sun Also Sucks

If there’s one thing that gets me every time, it’s having a wet shirt sleeve.  Man oh man, do I hate that! I decided a couple weeks ago to try another Hemingway novel to test its “any better”-ness than A Farewell to Arms. Well, 100 pages in, I again felt I was wasting my life, so I quit The Sun Also Rises.  Now on to Deadeye Dick, one of the Vonnegut books I surprisingly have not read, because a friend once told me it wasn’t … Continue reading

Mo’ Backyard, Mo’ Problems

More outdoor mealtime was had tonight.  Grilled corn on the cob spiced with chili powder.  Delicious! After dinner the task was to install the new and as yet un-torn top of the gazebo.  This challenge was accepted and abandoned with the realization that there is no way the thing goes on without even a bit of tearing.  During our hmming and hawing, two doors west, a dad fiddling with something in his driveway was saying to his daughter “there must be a wire disconnected or … Continue reading

Morning (Absence of) Glory

Okay so I have not spent the morning picking up sticks and weird long bean strings from the back yard as I had hoped to, and do you know why?  I am addicted to sleep.  Or maybe just the compensation of sleep that seems to come in the mornings as a result of tossing and turning at night.  I miss my cheap bed.  This new plushy one with all the fixins just isn’t doing it for me.  I’m not as stiff as I was before, … Continue reading

I Love It

It must be summer in March because I am the whiniest person ever to be stuck indoors at a job this week.  Spoiled with two barbecues over the weekend, I now want all my meals cooked over a flame and served outside.  Today I had to eat processed crap from the food court (normally not up my alley, but fine nonetheless).  So disappointing. This is the year we are spoiled, people.  Let’s slather on the sunscreen in March for once, while it lasts.  Tomorrow I … Continue reading
