So I have a daily martial arts routine. I used to call it my Taiji routine, but I have added Bagua to it so ‘martial arts’ routine or ‘internal martial arts’ routine is more apt. I have evolved it to the point where it’s an hour long (if I don’t stop and scroll on my… Continue Reading
This has been a hard year for my family when it comes to traveling. My brother and his family (three kids and his oldest kid’s spouse) went to Taiwan for Christmas and came back on New Year’s Day. Well, they were supposed to fly back on that day. What happened instead was wild. They made… Continue Reading
I have a flat tire. Which is annoying as fuck. If only because I have to get it to the tire place with a flat tire. I went to the pharmacy to pick up my med. A man in the parking lot politely told me my tire was flat and suggested I put air in… Continue Reading
Here’s the thing about me. I have a hard time making appropriate goals. I either overshoot or undershoot it. Or I have no idea what I should do with it. I bought an instapot (Instant Pot) several years ago. I mentioned yesterday that one of the things I want to do in the new year… Continue Reading
In my last post, I mentioned that I don’t make New Year’s resolutions. I do, however, set goals. Do I meet those goals? No, but that doesn’t mean I don’t make progress. And that’s another reason I set goals rather than make resolutions. The latter are basically pass/fail. You either do them or you don’t… Continue Reading
I’ve been musing about the end of the year and the beginning of the next. In the last post I wrote about it, I was just more musing about life and movies. Now, as I’m writing this, it’s the actual first of the new year. There has been snow, which makes my cold heart happy.… Continue Reading
Up to this point, I have been talking about the contents of the movie and the themes therein. For this post, I want to do something a bit different. I want to get a bit meta. The Daniels basically throw everything they want in their project and then winnow it down a bit afterwards. They… Continue Reading
We are rolling along to the end of 2023. This was my second bonus year, which means the end of my terrible twos. I’m going to be three, which means it’s time to pull myself up by my bootstraps. No more lolling around for me! I have an idea floating in my brain about pop… Continue Reading
Yesterday, I had my first post on Everything Everywhere All At Once–which I finally saw on Christmas night. In the last post, I mentioned that I did not like movies in general. Plus, Amazon makes it so fucking hard to rent a movie that I pushed it off for months. But. I made a commitment… Continue Reading
I hate movies. I have accepted this as true. I had a substitute teacher when I was in grad school who was stunned when I said this to her. I didn’t realize it was a controversial statement. She sputtered how it was like saying you didn’t like sandwiches. She said it as if that was… Continue Reading
