My rating 5 of 5 stars Now that the re-watch of 24 is done, we have started on Babylon 5. It seems appropriate, since the pilot movie first aired in 1993, making this the twentieth anniversary year. As a fan of sci-fi, I watched the show from the beginning and I still enjoy watching it now. It was intelligent, well-written, … Continue reading Friday Review: TV Re-watch: Babylon 5
Wednesday Wanderings: 200 Calories, Crying Babies, Sleep Longer, Neptune’s New Moon, Long Running- and Dripping Experiment, and Wolverine: The Musical (Puppet)!
I firmly believe that it is not what you eat, but how you eat that really matters. Moderation is the key, not denying yourself favorite foods for "health" reasons. Still, this is an interesting series of photos showing what 200 calories worth of some different foods looks like: http://www.artfido.com/blog/photographic-series-showing-what-200-calories- looks-like-in-different-foods/ Interesting article on babies, crying, … Continue reading Wednesday Wanderings: 200 Calories, Crying Babies, Sleep Longer, Neptune’s New Moon, Long Running- and Dripping Experiment, and Wolverine: The Musical (Puppet)!

Monday Musings: Weather, Garden, Foster Cats, and the OldDog
The weather has been pretty darned unbearable lately. I really don't like the humidity mixed with high heat. It is just so oppressive when you step out the door. Just standing makes you soggy. But I have to say that I agree with our daughter who posted on Facebook that she is tired of people … Continue reading Monday Musings: Weather, Garden, Foster Cats, and the OldDog

Monday Musings: Going VB6, Sort Of
I have been intrigued by Mark Bittman's idea of Vegan Before 6, his dietary regimen of trying to eat (mostly) vegan before 6 PM. He talks about it here in this excerpt from his book: http://tv.msnbc.com/2013/06/05/an-excerpt-from-mark-bittmans-vb6/ And in this interview: http://www.bostonglobe.com/lifestyle/food-dining/2013/05/14/mark-bittman-says-you-can-part-time-vegan/gDhhRV48x3ikLlnTQonKWJ/story.html The idea intrigues me for several reasons. First, you are allowed to cheat. To tailor your changes … Continue reading Monday Musings: Going VB6, Sort Of

Friday Review: A Pirate Looks at Fifty by Jimmy Buffett
My rating: 4 stars I've been a fan of Buffett's music for a long time. Some of it is just pure fun, and others cut a bit closer to Life. I have tried to make Changes in Lattitudes, Changes in Attitudes an anthem for myself, and Trying to Reason With Huurricane Season is another I find inspiring. … Continue reading Friday Review: A Pirate Looks at Fifty by Jimmy Buffett

Wednesday Wanderings: Legos, Geek Books, Predicting Aging, and Dr. Who Companion Poll
I am constantly amazed by the things people build with Legos, probably because I can barely make a simple tower. Here's a set of pictures of some cool stuff people have built with Lego blocks: http://www.topdesignmag.com/20-really-awesome-lego-sculptures/ A list of 25 geek books you must read (according to Gear Fuse, anyway). How many have you read? … Continue reading Wednesday Wanderings: Legos, Geek Books, Predicting Aging, and Dr. Who Companion Poll

Wednesday Wanderings: Churches renovated to secular spaces, and some lists of 10
What happens to abandoned churches? For these, they were renovated to become homes or businesses. And all kept the beauty of the original church: http://io9.com/beautiful-churches-that-have-been-converted-into-secula-583156045 And now a few lists of 10: Ten Words that Need to Die Now (I agree with most of these): http://bit.ly/12GAGwH Ten Words that People Get Wrong: http://bit.ly/12lHUar And, finally, … Continue reading Wednesday Wanderings: Churches renovated to secular spaces, and some lists of 10

Monday Musings: Who Controls Your Writing?
This is a writing related post, and a bit of a rant, so if that is not your reason for reading here, you can stop now. Fair warning given. I hang out in several writer's forum and groups. I don't post much, but I do read, and occasionally chime in on a discussion. I see … Continue reading Monday Musings: Who Controls Your Writing?

Friday Review: Shoggoth’s Old Peculiar (Audio) Written and Narrated by Neil Gaiman
Rating: 5 stars I don't usually listen to audio books. I lose the concentration, and my mind starts to wander. I find I've missed minutes worth of the narrative, and have to backtrack. But I love Gaiman's work, and this was offered as a free download with a preview of his new novel, The Ocean at … Continue reading Friday Review: Shoggoth’s Old Peculiar (Audio) Written and Narrated by Neil Gaiman
