  • Soul Turbulence

    And I know why. It’s Dave’s fault. Because of that parking lot picture. And my comment. For the past however many weeks, because of my time traveling brain, obviously, this song keeps popping up. https://open.spotify.com/track/0rRboI6IRuGx56Dq3UdYY4?si=92a337de08f24151 Earworms are a hellvua drug. I never listened to the whole song before … now. (That’s another song I can’t…

  • A Fourth of Pulp

    Should’ve known better. That’s what I’m saying. Should’ve known better. (There I go, repeating myself like bad movie dialogue.) … than to have brought up Fourth Wing. Yes, I called it a “fantasy beach read.” That was not a knock. I’m not a literature reader. I pretty much only tread in genre territory. I don’t…

  • Breach!

    For the last three weeks, I’ve visited St. Francis’ Infusion Center (or whatever they call it) to have the dressing on the PICC redone. The first two times were pleasant. Had good conversations with my nurses. Got some of that skin-pulling pain as they peeled off the old dressing. Ever notice how some pain feels…

  • GD Ewoks

    Order! Have some housekeeping this morning. Corrections, more like. First, it was a ’70-and-a-half Camaro, not a ’71. Second, I left out a ’69 Impala, “The Whale.” Ahem. We’re here today because I ended up making a list in my journal with an ink pen this morning while I drank my coffee. Unintended. Unavoidable. I’ve…

  • Radical Cam, Bro

    Engines. Kelli, your observation (wherever it was … Steph’s music post, maybe?) has been bouncing around my brain for weeks. OMG I love the sound of a finely-tuned growly motor. That deep rumble soothes my soul in a similar but different way as waves crashing onto a beach. A rumbly V-8? Hells yeah. Gender difference?…

  • The Perfect Drug

    Woke up during the 5 o’clock hour this morning. As has been the case for about the last 10 days. Gross. Left the room so as to not wake up the Wife, and also because I had to entertain Ginny, who’s decided food and pets need to be with the sun schedule. Obviously. Also obviously,…

  • Poorly Drawn Bullet Points

    Watched a bunch of Andor season two yesterday. Such a damn pretty show. Which got me thinking about the shitshow that is The Wheel of Time. I know, I know. I’ve been rereading some of it. So the discrepancies between the two are … vast. More than that, however, you can tell Amazon threw money…

  • Status Quoth

    Today’s a White Blank Page kinda day. Some days, the Stream does not flow. It’s worse when it’s fiction and not this nonsense. Still sucks though. At my advanced age, I finally appreciate the need for good sleep. Not just some. But plenty and good quality I mentioned this yesterday. Not getting good sleep craters…

  • Add Title Here

    I look like an escaped lobotomy patient right now. Mwhahahahaha Sup. I’m sitting here on the couch listening to “Planet Caravan” by Black Sabbath. The original, not that Pantera cover. Not that the cover is bad, but … I’m touchy, philosophically, about using things created by other people attached to whatever it is I’m doing.…

  • Be The Light

    Compulsion. That’s what it is. Even when I’m not at a computer, my brain makes these Lists. Started notes for one by hand this morning right before the IV treatment. (Which The Wife handles.) Where it started … Pouring the coffee this morning, I had a flashback. When I was a kid, on the weekends,…
