The Little Green Book of Chairman Rahma by Brian Herbert My rating: 1 of 5 stars I’m glad my updates about this book didn’t take. I was a little upset and spewing some vitriol. But the truth of the matter is that I didn’t like it. Not one bit. The writing was… ugh. I can’t […]
Review: That Night
That Night by Chevy Stevens My rating: 5 of 5 stars Sometimes, after reading several ho-hum books in a row, I get a little frustrated and start to forget the excitement that a book can hold. So I get surprised when a book keeps me up all night reading and evokes physical responses of tension, […]
90’s Musical Obscurity
So I found this buzzfeed article that I couldn’t look away from. Also, I had to write some commentary. It was a reflex. Couldn’t help it. The article got me to reflect on some old music. Here are my favorites from their list. And some of my personal thoughts. Dig – “Believe” Whale – “Hobo […]
Recently I listened to
The Good Guy by Dean Koontz My rating: 3 of 5 stars I haven’t read too much by Mr. Koontz, but keep getting recommendations to read his work. This one wasn’t specifically recommended but it was available as an e-audiobook through the library and that’s what I wanted. So I thought I’d give it a […]
Note to self: Just buy the brand name bandages!
When you’re accident prone like I am, you have to have a good supply of bandages in the medicine cabinet. Or, in my case, medicine shelf… but that’s another story! See, I’m bandaging my finger right now because there’s a section of skin that keeps cracking open. It started as a paper cut. It almost […]
Princesses… more princesses… ugh
The Goose Girl by Shannon Hale My rating: 2 of 5 stars I haven’t read the original story, but my volume of Grimm’s Fairy Tales is marked so I can read it later. But reading this as a fairy tale retelling, I can say that it is a lovely story complete with dainty princesses and […]
Listening in fragments – an issue?
With the technological changes in the music industry over the last 20 years have come changes in listening purchasing habits. And I suspect some interesting changes in the world of fans. I never really purchased vinyl. I was buying cassettes in the 80’s and CD’s in the 90’s. Unlike many people I knew, I never […]
Secret Santa
It’s my first time in years being part of an office where there’s a “Secret Santa” exchange. So I decided to participate. My recipient is getting a great gift (according to me at least)… for less than ten bucks I got a to-go mug ($4), tea ($3.50), a small purple photo frame ($1), and a […]

A journey begins with
A decision. Sometimes that decision needs to be facilitated by some outside force, a push, maybe, that starts things rolling. I visited my doctor in September and shared my difficulties dealing with the weight that I’ve gained and my frustration at not being able to lose any of it. If you’ve been reading this long […]
