That right there is my 2016 calendar in front of my laptop’s desktop, I have a bit of a thing for Doctor Who. There is something about a fresh calendar taking it’s place on your wall, and I like that I get one every year from my parents. There is something comforting about having the faces of the Doctor keeping track of time for you,

I swear, 3/4 of the effort goes into coming up with a title that I think is witty enough to grab someone’s attention, that or is something I find pleasing in it’s final form. The idea for this blog entry has been kicking around in my head for a good week or so, but when I came here to write it, I labored over the...

Musical Moments?

Tonight I finally got to see Into The Woods, as it made it’s way through my town a few weeks before it comes out on Blu-ray, and I am damn glad I saw it on the big screen first. Something like that has to be seen big and loudly, then you can bring it home and experience it over and over again. Yes...

So Lent begins on Ash Wednesday, which is February 18th this year, and I had to decide what I would give up for it. Last year I gave up Twitter with a friend of mine, she is giving up Twitter again this year and that got me started thinking about whether I would give something up as well.

At first I thought I might just...

For years I had Tuesday and Wednesday off, then for a brief period it was Sunday and Monday, and then I was bumped to Monday and Tuesday. All those days were close enough that everything felt the same for me, more or less, but now it...

Let me just start by saying that 2014 was really good to me. I am happy that I cannot really think of anything that I would change about how I lived it, other than spending habits, but then I have always told myself those need to be changed.

I don’t have big plans for today, no raucous parties to welcome in 2015, but I think...

Twitter is one of those things that millions of us use, and we all use it differently.That’s the beauty of it and so many other forms of social media, we find our own place within it, and we make it home. Like any home, however, it isn’t always exactly what we want it to be, but all we can do is put in the work...

Somewhere after coffee break at work the other night, I found myself the brand new owner of some unexpected energy, and damn it if it didn’t follow me all the way home. That really doesn’t happen very often, usually when 9 o’clock break comes around, I am scrounging up a little caffeine and hoping to wind down my day nice and peaceful like. That day...

I have gotten into this habit of opening up WordPress in a tab, and having it mix in with my other open tabs, all with the intention of writing something, anything in it. Some of you may have noticed that roughly two months have gone by, and for those of you that haven’t, well I don’t blame you, I barely noticed it flying by either....
