TV Confessional
Until we moved to Hawaii, we didn’t have cable. We paid $12 a month to have the local networks and a couple of “freebies” the cable provider gave us, but that was it. Then we moved here and the only way to see my beloved Tarheels was to pay not only for cable but for…

On Math Class
I’m not a math person. You can probably tell that from reading most of this blog, but I think my frustration with math was largely due to a lack of life application that I could really see. Why do I need to solve this formula? What is the purpose? What is so interesting about it…

Doctor Who Commentary: Thoughts on River Song
So, I mentioned briefly in the comment section of my post about Rory that I think River Song might be a paradox and that is why Rory keeps “dying.” Or, rather, that he only is alive because he must be alive for River to exist. This will undoubtedly cause problems in the next several episodes…

Doodle kitties
Today has been a long day and I can’t think of anything interesting to write, except that of everything on my “to do” list, the only thing I accomplished from beginning to end was pulling some cash out of the ATM. Seriously, it was that bad. I’m going to have to try again to do…

Random thoughts on a Wednesday night
I like manatees. I also like lots of other animals. In fact, I’ve noticed that whatever animal I’m observing at a given moment could possibly be my “favorite.” But if I had to pick… big cats are awesome. Tigers. Lions. Snow leopards, even though they aren’t technically big cats. Y’know, those. I like scary movies…

Learn a new animal day: African wild dog edition!
Hello again, and welcome (finally) to Learn-a-new-animal-day! I promise this post will be far less ranty than my previous edition… Take a look at this animal for a moment: This is obviously a member of the canine family, no? How can you mistake it? It’s got the face, the feet, the tail… And yet one…

Little things in life: pans
Sometimes it’s the little things in life that make the day better. Sometimes it’s a note from a friend reminding you that she’s thinking of you. Sometimes it’s a kitty snuggling into your lap while you’re trying to pay bills or do something else just as unpleasant. Sometimes it’s finding an old photo you’d forgotten…

Doctor Who Commentary: Thoughts on Rory
With the second half of Doctor Who’s series six just two weeks away, I’ve been chewing on a lot of the bits we still don’t understand. Chewing MENTALLY, I didn’t write them down and then start gnawing on the paper. Yet. Anyway, the bit I’m thinking about today was triggered by two things. Thing One:…

Small Redecoration
As I mentioned yesterday, I spent the day Friday getting small things to redecorate a couple of spots in my house. There are always a few things that I don’t feel quite work and so I end up tweaking things here and there and it drives my husband a LITTLE crazy (especially when I get…

It’s Friday, Friday…
This is the first “I don’t have anything to write” entry of August. You lucky reader, you. I spent the day running errands, though I did find some stuff I wanted to kind of redecorate the bathroom. I would’ve taken a picture, but I didn’t think about it until now. And now I’m tired. I’m…
