Waaaay back in college, I watched Oprah. And one day she had a guest on her show, Gayle Delaney, who was a dream interpreter. Having always had vivid dreams, my interest was piqued. Her theory, in general, is that your dreams are little movies that your unconscious mind produces especially for you. Throw out those [...]
We had dinner tonight with two other couples. One couple will be leaving Thursday for a big adventure: they are going to Japan for (at least) one year to teach English. I had a friend do this after he graduated college (about the same age as these two now). My friend sold or gave away [...]
If only the mastering of the keyboard, the typing of letters, were all there was to writing well. I have ideas and thoughts that run through my mind when I am away from a computer (or even pen and paper). And often, when I clear away everything and crack my knuckles and get serious about [...]
So I know I can’t stop gushing about the San Diego ComicCon. I was so excited to being going and each day I looked forward to its attendance. See, here’s the deal. You think you KNOW what the Con is all about, don’t you? Superman and Batman and Green Lantern and nerds dressed like Star [...]
This was written in 2006 upon my return from that year’s International Comic Convention. 2006 was my first ComicCon. Let me say straight away that I was not disappointed. I didn’t give much thought to what I expected, but looking back I realized that I expected a Star Trek-esque thing to be going on. I [...]
CS had today off. Oh, what to do? How not to waste the day? I read the newspaper and scanned what events were going on today. There was a book sale at one of the libraries. That’s always a good thing to me. Then there was a party for the streetcar beginning the route from [...]
I have been tagged by Ivy Brown. I am supposed to open the book I am currently reading and turn to page 123. Then find the 5th sentence and post the next 3 sentences. As usual, this meme doesn’t blow my skirt up. So to compromise, I will instead give my top ten list of [...]
In the Times-Picayune today, there was not less than three mentions of the Friends of the Jefferson Parish Library semi-annual Book Sale out at Pontchartrain Center. I am a sucker for book deals and have found many oddities at this sale in the past. So, after Sun took the longest nap ever, we headed out. [...]
Yesterday, I drove out to get satsumas for Christy over at Misplaced Southern Belle. I ended up at DeWitt’s Fruit and Vegetable Shed on River Road (this stand has been at this location for over 50 years). I have driven past it many, many times and never stopped. So, thanks, Christy, for giving me an [...]
I am finally beginning to feel better. My headaches are less, the ringing in my ears is gone, and I have only been through about a fifth of a box of tissues today. And the upswing of having The Death is that I think I’ve lost a few pounds!! So to celebrate, we went out [...]
