Lips (A Study in Contrast)

There are two moments when I am most aware of my lips.
The first is when I am kissing someone.  There is a moment when my lips are millimeters away from another set of lips.  That split second before they touch.  I find myself blissfully aware of where my lips are on my body and in [...]

Cool Blog Toy

Today  I was catching up on my Google Reader when I found Christine Kane’s blog had a post about a neat little blog toy the Typealyzer.  If you’re familiar with the Myers-Brigg’s Personality Profile you’ll have fun with this.  According to every MB test I’ve taken I’m a very strong INFP (Introverted, INtuitive, Feeling and [...]

Year Of the Classic

The end of the year is approaching.
In 2008 I participated in a 50 book challenge.  I knew going into it there was no way that I would meet that goal.  (Hello, defeatist attitude!!) It was a nice challenge to see just how much I could read in a year and even though I’ve only read [...]

Alisha Sidie

Living in a small town the idea of “Seven Degrees of Separation” is laughable.  At most, two complete strangers are separated by a slim thread.   When tragedy strikes a small community the effects are felt  like a rippling tsunami.
Over the past week the rural community in which I live was abuzz over the disappearance of [...]

Things Discovered

1.  Pandora Radio – I love music.  I love FREE music!
2.  A Novel Challenge Blog – I love to read books and while I can rarely complete a reading challenge.  (I’m only on number 20 of my 50 book reading challenge) I still find enjoyment in a personal goal.   Here I can plan my [...]

Elsewhere

Today I finished reading the Elsewhere by Gabrielle Zevin.  It’s the story of Liz, a 15 year girl who was killed while riding her bicycle.  She wakes up Elsewhere.

Elsewhere is somewhere that people live their lives backwards.  You arrive in Elsewhere and leave once you’ve “grown down” to a baby.  Then, you are bundled up [...]

Monday Music

Jaynova decided to put out an open discussion about music today and I’m all up for that.   I woke up with a pounding migraine that crippled my thinking process and the wonder of modern pharmaceuticals allowed me to not have to spend the entire day in bed.   “What’s on your Mp3 Player” is right up [...]

Nothing

My goal for today is to do as little as possible.
Already I’m feeling guilty about all of the things that I should be doing.

DoSoEvAyMo Revisited

Happy November 1st!!
Today is World Vegan Day and in Mexico (and down the street from where I live) they are celebrating the Day of the Dead.    It’s also the start of National Novel Writing Month, affectionately called NaNoWriMo and  National Blog Posting Month.  You guessed it, NaBloPoMo.   Last year I decided that I needed [...]
