Go Ahead, Steampunk! Make My Day!
I am quite convinced that I was born into the wrong age! I sometimes wonder if I was born at least 100 years too late. Ah, but if I had lived during the golden age of the Victorian era, then I would have missed out on all of the amazing steampunk creations, which were not dreamt into existence until well into the 20th century, if not the 21rst, as ( Read more... ) -
CURSES AND SLIGHTS AND DAMNATIONS!!!
GAH! I'm feeling an amazing flow of creative energy today, and I can't stop to do anything with it, because I have so much OTHER work to do, including GOING TO work. GAH! *shakes fist* Curse you, muse, for inspiring me at a time when the inspiration does me no good ( Read more... ) -
Dedicated To Bibliophiles Everywhere!
I'm such a hopeless bookaholic! This AMV could be about ME! Except that I don't have a significant other, because I spend all my time reading, even when I go out, even when I'm walking down the street... If you're in Bellingham and you see a tall, thin woman with excessively long, blond hair walking down the street whilst paying far more ( Read more... ) -
Should I Believe In Signs?
I just looked out my bedroom window and spotted a bald eagle. Yes, I'm watching a bald eagle circle over B'ham. This is the second one I've seen in a week! I don't know why that excites me so much. I mean, I saw them daily when I was in Juneau, but... But this is not Juneau, and bald eagles aren't as common as pigeons in B'ham. I want to stand up ( Read more... ) -
A Majestic Encounter
I stood rapt as a bald eagle slipped from the sky to glide across my path. Awed, I gaped as it glided over verdant pastures and crumbling barns in slow arcs. Then it crossed my path a second time, less than a dozen yards from me. I could hardly move except to follow its hunt. Even after it had settled upon a tall tree so distant that I could no ( Read more... ) -

What Does An Artist Look Like?
I have grown so immersed in the daily grind that I sometimes have to remind myself of the primary reason I desire to live in Bellingham, Washington. It has a close knit yet eclectic arts scene. I have spent a lot of time, and some money, enjoying fine music and independent film since I've been here, but I've neglected the visual arts. Hmmm... I ( Read more... ) -
(Untitled)
Of them all, my positive experiences in California, Nevada, and Kansas have had the greatest impact on my life so far. I have also had layovers in Texas, Illinois, and Colorado, but I don't think they count since I never actually left the airport.
Sadly, I've never been outside the country. I plan on getting an enhanced driver's license so that I ( Read more... ) -
On Optimism and The Warrior Spirit, or something like that...
Yesterday, I posted about attempting to regain the attitude that helped me turn a major crisis into a glorious victory. Today, I'm thinking long and deep about how far a person can go in life if he or she maintains that attitude indefinitely. I wonder if that could be part of the winning formula behind such successful people as Tiger Woods, Lance ( Read more... )
