Things I wrote

  • Implied shoulds

    05 January 2017

    Doing what's right for you is never the wrong thing to do.

  • The final Earthsea books

    28 December 2016

    Finishing a series is always bittersweet for me, especially a series that I've loved. On Christmas I finished the final book of the Earthsea series by Ursula K. Le Guin, and it was one of those series where I was wanting to keep reading more about the characters I've come to love.

  • Taking a break

    20 December 2016

    Breaks are a very good thing

  • Parking

    14 December 2016

    In my neighborhood right now there is nothing that will set people off more than talking about parking.

  • Advent

    11 December 2016

    A season all the more significant this year.

  • Exposure

    05 December 2016

    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.

  • Andy Warhol: Drawings and Illustrations of the 1950s

    02 December 2016

    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.

  • Car free life

    01 December 2016

    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).

  • Savasana

    30 November 2016

    My favorite yoga pose right now.

  • Self care

    29 November 2016

    Self care in these difficult days

  • The City &amp; The City

    28 November 2016

    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.

  • Notes

    28 November 2016

    A new section

  • Real America

    27 November 2016

    There is one thing that I've grown tired of and it's the idea that there is a &ldquo;Real America.&rdquo;

  • Tehanu

    20 November 2016

    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.

  • Comics: 4 volume twos

    20 November 2016

    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.
