Summer Yummy
Hot summer days always say the same thing to me: salad caprese. It's pretty much a no-no on the kidney diet, but I decided not to deny myself this week. So thanks to buying a large quantity of fresh basil, a bag of roma tomatoes and two egg-sized mozarellas, I've had the following meals this past week ( Read more... ) -
Mirror's Edge
A gaming friend of mine who was also one of my beta readers recommended this game because it reminded him of my novel's main character. Now that he's played it, he pictures my Kit exactly like Faith. So of course I had to try it out, and indeed, it seems whoever wrote this game and I were connected somehow. We were pulling from the same well of ( Read more... ) -

Delayed Reactions
Introspection, journaling, reassessing my choices, gazing without seeing, I usually spend huge blocks of time in reverie to slow things down and catch up emotionally. Processing. So essential. But somewhen I decided I did too much of that and needed more "tree is falling-move without thinking" brain time. So even though I've been in the new place ( Read more... ) -
Sentences that Tickle
I love how sentences, even an incomplete phrase, can tickle the funny bone. We don't really need a whole joke (setup-->punchline) to laugh. Just the right amount of irreverence and wordplay is as uplifting as champagne bubbles ( Read more... ) -

Friendly Caffeine-addict or Con Artist -- You Decide
Some chance meetings stick in the brain demanding a second look.
I'm on the way to the freeway after a weekend with donaithnen. I've yet to have morning caffeine so I stop at the drive-thru Starbucks and go inside, wishing it was a mom-and-pop shop but I didn't notice any non-chain coffee places. Oh well.
I'm about to doctor my tall-brew-in-a- ( Read more... ) -
Kamon
One of my "keep an eye out for ..." unending searches finally bore fruit today. I've been wondering what I'm going to do when my favorite T-shirts wear out. Since I refuse to give up comfort for style I tend to wear either loose cargos or comfy jeans (ironically the comfiest now are designer, go figure. Since the low rise is actually very forgiving ( Read more... ) -
Damn Macs, Damn PCs
So I decided none of my work-around solutions on already -owned software were good enough. I really want an author program that deals with timelines and virtual index cards. So off I went on a Search (you know, sucks up hours, breeds tangentialism and results in more trivia for water-cooler speak), hoping I'd find something that met all My needs at ( Read more... )
