Naturally, I’d heard of the show The Gilmore Girls, but it had never been high on my list of must-watch TV. Until recently. Lately, I’ve been in a funk. Understatement, actually. I’ve been in quite a state, tearing up more and more, actually weeping over items fed to me by my algorithm about the state of world affairs, our leaders, and where we are headed. … Continue reading An Edict to Myself.
The other day at Barnes & Noble, among other amazing treasures, I picked up the latest hardback from John Sandford and his Prey series. Once home, my husband grabbed Revenge Prey out of my hands, declaring first dibs. The next morning, I asked him how the book was going. He frowned, saying he was sad that it was almost over. That right there is a … Continue reading Book Addiction. The Best Kind to Have.
‘Don’t judge a book by its cover’ is a nice saying, but it’s not realistic. Because everyone judges a literal book by its cover. Including me. It’s often the reason I pick up a book at the store or click it online. The storytelling starts with the cover. It draws you in. I’m in the process of obtaining the perfect cover for my latest book. … Continue reading 99 Designs Review and What is a Good Story Worth?
The Globes are early this year, airing January 11, 2026, which complicates things. I don’t have time for more viewing, so my review list is short. And honestly, after reading what I wrote, it’s a little crabby-sounding too. #handshrugemoji. But I’m going to leave it cause I gotta keep things real. #youvebeenwarned The other reason for my short list is that, once again, many of … Continue reading 2026 Golden Globe Movie Reviews

I woke up this morning in a fine mood. We had perfect avocados in the house,(silly thought, I know) and I was looking forward to my refreshing morning coffee followed by some delicious eggs and avocados, followed by an aerobic walk outside on what promised to be a 70-degree, blue-sky start. Then, two things happened. After feeding the dog, I let her outside as per … Continue reading All Creative Endeavors Stopped Until Further Notice. Or … A Shitty Way to Start the Day.
I’ve had Covid for about five weeks. I’m no longer contagious since I’m testing negative, but many of the symptoms persist. With little energy, I’ve neglected much of my life – specifically my writing, but have found comfort in television. So, with my brain fuzzy like I’m drunk – but not in a fun way – I’ll try and elucidate you on my viewing life. … Continue reading Things I’m Watching From my Sickbed
Where Attempted Humanizing and Dehumanization Intersect. . . or Irony in a Bottle Here’s a blog that will never make the Walgreens Boots Alliance Webpage under their glowing stories of commitment where they state they are “determined to do right by our customers, patients, and each other.” My local Walgreens now has a sign in the window of the drive-through with pictures of two smiling … Continue reading Walgreens Has Serious Problems
This is either a loaded question or a risky proposition, but I need a vote on this one. A Karen rating scale. Here’s the story. I made an appointment with my Nissan dealer to have my oil changed, tires rotated, and to get new windshield wipers. It was pretty much a regular maintenance thing for my 60,000 mile SUV. Past experience was that the visit … Continue reading Rate my Level of Karen
I live in Minnesota. It is cold during the winter. Really cold. And tires on a car, in case you didn’t know, like to deflate a bit when they are cold. Apparently, it’s important to have the air pressure in your tires correct. Not only that, but the annoying tire pressure warning light will not go off until you fix your problem. Two science-y bits … Continue reading You’re Charging for Air?
