Another quiet week on the blog, due in part to a lack of time and in part to some annoying computer issues which I think I've mostly solved. They weren't disrupting my ability to do things, just slowing the system down and making it take twice as long. I've been working on crochet projects, but … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up, October 18, 2020
Dune
Sunday Sum-Up: October 11, 2020
Radio silence from me last week. I didn't feel like writing for the blog, so I didn't. So it goes. In lieu of blogging last week I crocheted a lot. I needed a frame for a print I bought a few weeks ago, so I headed over to the craft store last Sunday. And because … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up: October 11, 2020
Sunday Sum-Up: October 4, 2020
Hello, October! Photo by Pixabay on Pexels.com The weather has been positively lovely. Now it just needs to NOT end up being in the 80+F range at the end of the week, and I'll be thrilled. It also needs to rain. Because it was beautiful on my day off, I headed downtown and wandered around … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up: October 4, 2020
The Dune Trailer: Reaction
The first official trailer for Denis Villeneuve's trailer went up yesterday. I couldn't wait to see it when I heard a couple of weeks ago that it was finally going to be available. Was not disappointed. I was planning to see it anyway when it premiers in December (assuming that theaters are a thing we … Continue reading The Dune Trailer: Reaction
Sunday Sum Up- August 4, 2019
It was a quietish week around here, though work was a bit stressful. Fortunately, I swapped days with a coworker and took Saturday off, so I ended up with a three-day weekend. I had zero plans, except for cleaning my apartment and reading. I did go out with a friend on Friday evening. We wanted … Continue reading Sunday Sum Up- August 4, 2019
Fear is the Mind-killer: Rereading Dune
(Warning: major spoilers for Dune) I bought my first copy of Frank Herbert's Dune in a used bookstore in Minnesota. I was twelve years old, had two dollars in my pocket, and some time to kill while my mother shopped next door. To this day, I don't know why I picked up that worn-out paperback … Continue reading Fear is the Mind-killer: Rereading Dune
Sunday Sum Up- July 28, 2019
It was a busy week around here, but fortunately, the weather was gorgeous for most of it. My parents made a quick and somewhat unscheduled trip into town, so I had brunch with them on Wednesday morning and we did some shopping. One of our stops was PetSmart, where I bought a new toy for … Continue reading Sunday Sum Up- July 28, 2019
Sunday Sum-Up, 07/21/2019
Last week was a week. It started out alright, but on Wednesday morning I had to take little Mina back to the veterinarian, thanks to the continued presence of intestinal worms. They gave her another round of dewormers and a tin of recovery food meant for animals suffering from malnutrition (because she hadn't gained any … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up, 07/21/2019
Sunday Sum-Up, 07/14/2019
Soo... This week didn't go quite as planned. We had three super busy days at work thanks to a long-planned event. The lead-up to it had been stressing me out for the past couple of weeks, and I am so glad to be done with it. That was planned. I'd been dreading it, but I … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up, 07/14/2019
Five Books I'm Grateful For
Danielle at Books, Vertigo and Tea published the first version of this post that I've seen, and it was such a bright little spot of sunshine amidst all the dark clouds that have been hanging over me lately that I decided I would write one like it, with the five books I'm grateful for. And … Continue reading Five Books I'm Grateful For
