I noticed my first day that practically on property there is a “petroglyph field”. The old “King’s Trail” ran through here and when people camped out for the night, they carved stuff into the rocks. They are dated back 500 years. So first I… Continue Reading “Petroglyphs”
I have been out of town and out of my usual routine for several days. And now my skin is breaking out again. It occurred to me that I haven’t exfoliated in a week and I am always being scolded for my lazy exfoliating… Continue Reading “Neat Trick”
Book 6 This novel picks up with Sookie Stackhouse all lovey-dovey with Bill the vampire and staffed out by Eric the Sheriff to some vampires in Dallas for some telepathic sleuthing. It also opens with the murder of LaFayette, who I really liked! Harris… Continue Reading “Living Dead in Dallas, by Charlaine Harris”
Book 5 As I was saying, Paradise Lost has been on my shelf for-practically-ever and I picked it up when I saw Professor Roger’s course on Milton’s poetry on Academic Earth. I have not quite finished the course yet, but I will have plenty… Continue Reading “Paradise Lost, by John Milton”

Interesting thing about this island is that is really is all desert…desert….desert….rainforest! Eh. This picture… Continue Reading “And the Downside to Travelling Alone”
I had a little moment this morning, heading down the state highway to Volcanoes National Park. I realized that those clouds were not clouds. And I was driving toward them. I had another little moment when I stopped the car at the first Scenic… Continue Reading “The Volcanoes”
Yeah, yeah. It’s fish in a pond. Shut up. I spent the day eating papaya and reading Jane Austen.
So. I have some pretty serious body image issues. I am carrying around too much weight right now, but even in college when I was a perfectly reasonable size and went to step class twice a week, I hated my body. We blame my skinny,… Continue Reading “A Sort of Breakthrough”
