I’m 52 years old. That’s incredible to me. Not just becuase I should be dead, but because as people smarter than I have said, time just flies by. It makes sense. When you’re ten, a year is a tenth of your life. When you’re fifty, it’s a fiftieth. Yes, it’s the same amount of time,… Continue Reading
I am still annoyed by life. The start to 2024 has not been the best, but it hasn’t been the worst, either. I wrote yesterday about how the small things seem much worse because I can’t actually talk to a human being. Let me talk to a real human, and I’m much more patient–even if… Continue Reading
I have railed (recently, even) about how monopolies suck. No, that is not a massive revelation or anything new. We all know this, but it bears repeating. I’m irritated because I got an appointment with CenturyLink (phone company) for a technician to come today. The appointment window? 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. This is, of… Continue Reading
I’m so annoyed. SO. ANNOYED. The new year has been a drip of irritating things (to be fair, it started at the end of last year), and it’s continuing. The first tihng was my internet acting up (saying I was using a TERABYTE of data in one month after years of using 10 GB a… Continue Reading
When I was in my twenties, I started writing mysteries. I took a class from an author I really admired. We brought in our work and had it critiqued. She said that I could not have an ‘I’ protagonist and then have scenes without that protagonist. I asked why not. She said it just wasn’t… Continue Reading
When I had my medical crisis, I had some arguments with my mother about–well, many things. In this post, however, I want to focus on one thing. She has a brother who is a doctor. Maybe. even a heart doctor. He is the oldest of eight children in an Asian family. A very traditional family… Continue Reading
I have gone through a serieous medical crisis in which I died twice. You would think that with something that epic in my background (and memorable), I would not be rattled by the little things in life. I should be able to brush them off and just laugh. After all, I beat death with one… Continue Reading
Let’s talk goals. I want to cook more, thus the slow cooker/crockpot as I mentioned a few days ago. It’s still in its box.I bought the ingredients needed for corn potato chowder, so I’ll get to that this weekend. We’re supposed to get 2-4 inches of snow today (downgraded from 4-7, per usual), and a… Continue Reading
I had a Bagua lesson today, and I was telling my teacher how much I loved Everything Everywhere All At Once. She loved it, too, and she said the martial arts were solid. We laughed about the butt plug scene, but I can’t get over how great it was. Not just how it was exectuted,… Continue Reading
One thing I really admire about my brother is that he just does things. He thinks it might be interesting to do something, and he does it. He once said that he has no regrets. That blew my mind because I had nothing but regrets. Well, at least I used to before my medical crisis.… Continue Reading
