The Passage by Justin Cronin

The Passage by Justin Cronin My rating: 4 of 5 stars This was really engaging and somewhat satisfying at the end. For being part of a trilogy, it was long. I think there were parts that could’ve been condensed and it was confusing about how the characters in the beginning were relevant to the story […]

Just poppin’ in

Gah! It’s been a crazy couple of months. I’ve been studying web development through Skillcrush and I’m in the middle of a Code Ninja class. They’ve both been great for learning how to do things the right way. As you may know, I’ve been building sites since around 2000. I taught myself, so my code […]

Feminism in the 18th Century Ottoman Empire – The Drowning Guard by Linda Lafferty

God I Hate Country Music

At least, that’s what I thought. With the exception of the classic artists I grew up listening to and the exceptional album here or there, country music just pisses me off. The vocalists throw extra twang affectation into their voices every time they open their mouths. They write about the same boring, repetitiveĀ things using the […]

Oh my achin’ feet

I know I’m not the only person that has bad feet, so I thought I’d share. Recently, since I’m out of a job right now, I’ve been home more often than not. I don’t like to wear shoes all day at home so I’ve been wearing slippers, flip flops, and walking around barefoot/ or in […]

Photos Located!

One of the reasons my site has the “Site Under Maintenance” notice at the top is that the site was hacked a while back and the source of the hack seemed to be in the images. We were able to take them down and successfully stop the hacking. In the meantime, our storage server broke. […]
