Weekend Update
The weekend was fun and full. On Friday, Piper came over to show me the "good parts" version of Stargate: SG1. She, Prue, Paige, and Saturn have been trying to get me to watch it for years. I resisted for a long time. For one thing, I loved the movie Stargate. Like *loved*! And by the time they made the tv show, I was savvy enough in television ( Read more... ) -
I had a dream...
Last night, I had a very bizarre dream. I dreamed that I woke up into the body of my fourteen-year-old self with the memories of my thirty-three-year-old self. Oy. I have to admit, if that ever happened to me, it would be a nightmare. I *like* my life the way it is. It could be better, of course, but I like my career, my husband, my friends, my ( Read more... ) -
Star Trek: the Next Generation part two
I was going to finish the series. I really was. But I got to an episode that I couldn't bring myself to finish. "Journey's End" is the twentieth episode of season seven. Up to this point, I had been enjoying the show much better than I had in the beginning. I liked the main cast very well. They got Picard to lighten up a bit, and made the questions ( Read more... ) -
Fairy Tales
I *love* fairy tales. I have always loved fairy tales, folk tales, myths, etc. Most of them feature female characters. (And as a child, I didn't care if said female character needed to be rescued. Just the fact that she was there was enough for me.) And no, I don't care about the Disneyfication of many fairy tales. In some cases, Disney made the ( Read more... ) -
Writing Program
Thursday night, I went to an amazing writing program held at Highland's Ranch Library. It was run by local author Jessica Brody. She was hilarious! She really knew how to hold the room. She also knew what she was talking about, in that she has managed to sell fifteen books in less than ten years. That's really impressive ( Read more... ) -
Scrivener, Writing, and Theatre, oh my!
For Christmas, my mother-in-law got me the writing software Scrivener. It is awesome! It does an amazing job of organizing your thoughts. It was cool, being able to create an individual file for each character in the document, even small characters that exist merely as background characters. I think I am truly going to enjoy using this gift ( Read more... ) -
Universe takes away, universe gives
On Saturday night, I didn't sleep very well, for obvious reasons. I miss my cat. A lot. But when I finally did get to sleep, I had a very vivid dream, the first I've had in a long time. (Well, my dreams themselves are always pretty vivid; it's just lately they have been either mundane or utter nonsense.) But this dream was more like dreams I used ( Read more... ) -
2016: Reflections
I know a lot of people have said how much 2016 sucked. And indeed, for several people I know personally, it did. However, it did not suck for me. And since I was raised Catholic, and feel guilty for breathing, I do feel guilty that what was horrible for a lot of other people was not horrible for me.

Star Trek: The Next Generation
Lately, I've been re-watching Star Trek: the Next Generation. I say re-watching, because I was raised on watching this show. It was our family show, and we never missed an episode. I remember the night the series finale aired, and my family watched it together. BUT, I know I don't remember watching it in order. I was two years old when the show ( Read more... )
