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 […]

Bad Religion @ Summerfest
July 7, 2013 Bad Religion plays Summerfest. It rocked. And I finally got to prove to Jerry how awesome they are live.

Brilliant? I’ll Take It!
By now you’re likely familiar with the fact that I post photos on ViewBug. And that I’ve received a couple awards in the last few months. I’m glad to announce I’ve got another award! They awarded me with “Brilliant” this time. That seems generous, but I’m flattered and thankful for any recognition. And, of course, […]
Beauty Products – Reviewed!
You may have noticed this image on the right side of my blog: It’s a pretty cool website where you can review products and learn from others’ reviews. They deemed me worthy of a box of products to review. So here I am… with reviews! The products were hit or miss for me. I received […]
