My (maternal) Grandma and I used to watch TV together a lot. Into the 70s, more and more, my Grandma would comment, “Who thinks up this stuff?” Last night, we watched Eraserhead. And all I can say is, “Who thinks up this stuff?” Hi Grandma, it’s good to be you.
For the first time, I bought myself a fresh pineapple. I cored and skinned it and cut it into pieces and put the pieces into a zip loc bag in the refrigerator. It was a lot of work, but ooooohhh – fresh cold pineapple tastes soooooo good. Unfortunately, I have learned that while my tastebuds…
As I posted before, I have a new toy – a Kindle Fire HD (not the latest and greatest, but I figure this will do me just fine, thank you). So now I am in app-hell. Holy fucking shit there are a lot of apps out there. And I don’t have a lot of experience…
In my many (many) years in the kitchen, I can tell you that you never have enough regular spoons and you always have way too many forks. Why is this (you may well ask)? It is my belief that when spoons reach maturity they turn into forks. It’s the only explanation that makes sense. You’re…
My new Kindle Fire just arrived (like less than an hour ago). I have unboxed it. I am looking forward to the adventure of figuring out what all I can do with my new tech-baby. So excited. And a little fearful. This is when it is definitely not a plus that all of my younger…
(Yes I made this – and that’s not applique – it’s knitted as part of the sweater) I was at the monthly craft circle I go to, working on my whatever the hell it’s going to be depending on how far the yarn goes project. The discussion turned briefly to knitting versus crochet. I…
I had another audition today. And this time, it was lovely. Just lovely. Okay, I didn’t sing perfectly – but I didn’t stink up the place either. I did a good workmanlike job. (And the people casting pretty much know me.) The thing is I didn’t suffer total dry mouth and clenched throat. I was…
Our house used to be buried in books. Like hoarders for books. It’s better now, although there are still a whole lot of books around. Many, though, have (hopefully) found homes at the library or through donations to Good Will, because now I mostly use my Kindle. It pains me though when I see how…
I was all set to write a blog about the joys of finding a missing item. I wrote the first sentence: There are few things that are as satisfying as, after misplacing an item, you figure out where it must be – and it’s actually there! And realized, that’s all I had to say…
This video was posted on Facebook as an example of the mysteries and beauty of the sea. http://news.distractify.com/fun/over-10000-of-these-ocean-creatures-mysteriously-gathered-and-then-they-took-flight/?v=1 A gazillion mabula rays are off the coast of Baja, and National Geographic was there to film it. First, I can’t believe was fuck-ass crazy enough to get into the water to film this. You…
