Things I wrote
-
In my neighborhood right now there is nothing that will set people off more than talking about parking.
-
A season all the more significant this year.
-
It's a cold war era spy thriller, with a married couple at the center of it, caught up in something that they aren't quite aware of in the beginning. And it's wonderful.
-
I'm not a fan of the screen printing era that includes the Campbells soup cans, but usually in a big show on an artist I'll find at least one era that I like. And this show had it, his very early work in advertising is <em>amazing</em> and I'd never seen it before.
-
We've been car free for almost six months now and we're entering into the difficult season to be car free. It's not as fun to walk for necessities when it's raining and chilly. But in the time that we've not had a car, I've thought about car related things quite a bit (traffic, parking, etc).
-
My favorite yoga pose right now.
-
Self care in these difficult days
-
I start a lot of books and for many of them, the books slowly draw me in, the first third is OK, the back story is building. The second third starts to get good and the final third is amazing.
-
A new section
-
There is one thing that I've grown tired of and it's the idea that there is a “Real America.”
-
I finished the fourth book in the Earthsea Cycle by Ursula K. Le Guin, <em>Tehanu</em> yesterday afternoon. It is the best of the series so far.
-
I recently was back on a comics streak, plowing through several volume twos of various series I've started, so here are some quick thoughts.
-
Ten years ago when we moved to Portland I experienced voting by mail for the first time. A ballot arrived, a voting guide arrived, I filled out the ballot, and I mailed it back in. That was it, I'd voted.
-
The book is composed of short "chapters" where a person talks about their home practice. Some of them are well known and others I'd never heard of, most are yoga teachers, and they are from all over the world. The great thing about the book is that no two people have an identical home practice.
-
Another Le Guin book, I know, I know. But she is just such a great writer and this series is just so fantastic.
