1972 Book: Cyborg
Continuing in my grand plan to read one book a month from every year of my life, I've moved on to 1972 and decided to give the book Cyborg by Martin Caidin a try ( Read more... ) -
Well, that was a first.
We had some sweet potatoes left from our weekly produce delivery and I decided I wanted to make Sweet Potato Chicken Curry. So, I found a recipe that looked good from some of the ones I've saved over the years, picked up the ingredients I needed for it and then went to make it for dinner the other night. Only, once I started in on it, I realized ( Read more... ) -
Dusting Things Off
Earlier this year, with my 55th birthday fast approaching, I realized I had a wonderful opportunity to read one book published in each year of my life, sequentially, with the hopes of being done by the time I reach my 60th birthday (I have five years, which means just one a month, so I'm hoping to pull it off), starting with Year Zero (which ( Read more... ) -
Dreamwidth
I know I don't really post here anymore, despite my best intentions, but with world circumstances being what they are, I figured it was a good time to remind everyone that I also have an account over on Dreamwidth and I would love to keep in contact with people there. I managed to snag Fenchurch on that site, so my DW page is here: dreamwidthShe speaks! Er, writes...
Okay, so I know I haven't posted in ages, but I'm hoping to do better (ha!). And I had a bit of a tale to tell, so I figured this would be a good place to do it. Seriously, though, I've had "Post to Livejournal" as a weekly goal for about a year now and I've been failing at it rather miserably ( Read more... )News about Wisemack

I know I haven't posted in forever (I keep meaning to and then getting distracted by other things), but I wanted to let everyone know that I recently heard from wisemack's daughter... who let me know that she had passed away last November 4th in Hilo, Hawaii (where she's been living for the past few years). I told her daughter I'd try to get ( Read more... )Good Karma
Yesterday was one of those days that makes me want to believe there is such a thing as karma. Or at least good karma... although it usually doesn't come back to you that quickly ( Read more... )Feeling bad about a goldfish
We have a Ryukin Goldfish named Doofenshmirtz who lives in a tank in our kitchen/computer room (we've adapted the dining room area to be a space for our computers, since we're on them so much). We got the fish about three or four years ago after the former Doofenshmirtz (it's just too good a name for a goldfish not to use more than once) moved on ( Read more... )The Perils of a Full Tub
Our water provider is doing some work on the system in our neighborhood today, so we got a notice that the water might be off sometime between 9:00am and 2:00pm today. We prepped for it, filling pitchers with water to leave by the various sinks for handwashing... and this morning, after my shower, I also filled the bathtub so that we'd have some ( Read more... )
