Which is precisely what I've posted in nearly a year! What is wrong with me? I'm going to have to turn in my "blogger" status card. My excuse is that I never have any time. But the truth is that I simply choose not to do it; I can't deny that. I love blogging ... I love writing, about myself, about other people, about subjects that interest me such as camping, human and animal rights, living off

Tending to my garden reaps joy, rewards, and frustration. The joy comes from simply giving my plants attention: watering them, talking to them (yes, I talk to my plants; I'll do anything that will help them to grow and I'd probably talk to them anyway even if it didn't do any good at all), watching them change a little bit every day because they're growing so fast.The reward comes from watching

Perhaps I don't do it enough, but the sheer number of social media filters out there are downright overwhelming. For example, I can set up Ping.fm to be my one-stop shop for updating multiple sources at once with status updates: Twitter, Facebook, this blog, Tumblr, and nine million other socmed services.I can do essentially the same thing with FriendFeed, except I can also set up FriendFeed to

As you can see the plant is growing quite nicely! Still no bloom yet, and that may be over a month away. But this is what the plant looked like this morning. You can see a third leaf showing in-between the two big leaves. It's only had one feeding two weeks ago. I fed it again when I took these pictures.

So. I have this amaryllis plant. It was given to me as a Christmas present two Christmases ago from my hubby. It came with a live bulb, a gorgeous red ceramic pot, and a disc of compressed soil called a "coco disc". The instructions said to put the disc in a large bowl, add water, fluff it with a fork, wait a few minutes, and then plant the bulb in the soil. So I did. And I waited with great

It all got started when I acquired the book pictured above: Creepy Cute Crochet by Christen Haden. This book is responsible for renewing my interest in crocheting. I'm not even a horror fan, but I immediately fell in love with the dolls, which I learned are called amigurumi. I decided to start with the simplest, easiest project in there, the Fuzzy Alien (see picture below, but don't blame me if

Glenn recently discovered a new, free, MMORPG game to play called, Jade Dynasty, courtesy of the folks at Perfect World Entertainment. The romantic-sounding name alone intrigued me, so I watched over his shoulder while he played. The graphical elements caught my eye immediately: they are absolutely gorgeous, particularly the character selection screen and the loading screens.I found gameplay easy

Yeah, so ... another day, another nearly-missed blog post. It's 11:17pm as I begin this. *lesigh*Pony Express DayI couldn't find too much on this at all, surprisingly. I mean, I can find leagues and leagues of stuff about the Pony Express of course; but nearly nothing pertaining to "Pony Express Day" specifically.For a rather pleasant little blog post on the subject that is short, much shorter

"Work is for people who can't play video games."~ Jillian Wiebe, Steve Wiebe's daughter Those who know me in real life know how I feel about those two items in the title: I love video games but I believe in moderation. As for weed/marijuana, I've always believed it should be avoided at all costs. And for many reasons, not the least of which being it is illegal. It's also very expensive! I could

Turns out I got Snuffleupagus's birthday wrong: first of all, it's actually on my calendar for today. Secondly, according to the Muppet Wiki, his birthday might actually be in January - in Episode 0331, Season 3, which aired on January 24, 1972, Mr. Snuffleupagus tells Big Bird that he is "two years old today". And now I can't find where I originally got the idea that his birthday was today.

My calendar tells me that today is National Sandcastle Day.Huh?I could have sworn that occurred on Saturday: National Sandcastle & Sculpture Day. So, erm ... why have a separate day 2 days later? Moreover, I've found evidence of this in a Google search. Hm.Well, for as much as I love sandcastles, there's another item on the calendar today that I find even more interesting: National Thrift Shop

Each of today's observances really deserves it's own individual post, if you ask me. And Lord knows I could write an individual post about each one, too! Today's Wacky Holidays strike such a warm and fuzzy chord, after you get done reading this you just might faint from the positive vibes.Best Friends DayNone of the other observances today get to me quite like this one.

Today is National Navajo Code Talker Day - it is also "V-J" Day, designated just like that, with capitalized letters and a hyphen in-between. I didn't know what V-J Day was so I looked it up: it means "Victory over Japan". It is the date Japan surrendered to the Allied Forces in the war that got two nuclear bombs dropped on them. Not like Japan had much choice after we annihilated their country

I have less than 2 hours to post to this blog today and still make it count. How can I come up with something meaningful in that short amount of time without making it seem like a patchwork quilt of other's people's work?The answer is, I can't. So while I may not promote today's blog post - there was nothing in the NaBloPoMo rules that said I was supposed to promote it exactly - at least

I love stumbling on these treasure troves of information! This Wacky Holidays calendar has positively revolutionized my thinking in some ways. Take yesterday for example: I had no idea how wonderfully complex and sophisticated the music of Duran Duran is until I sat down with great deliberation to listen to their catalog. Before that they were only an 80s pop band to me!Today's post will no doubt

An hour of research later and I totally understand now why this day exists.I've been sitting here blipping Duran Duran songs like crazy on my Blip.fm station (where I am the much sexier DJ SolarSoda), and looking up lyrics as I go along, and just generally getting a crash education on their history to prepare for today's post. All I really knew about Duran Duran involved their early big hits like

I am finding out how challenging it is to write something meaningful every day about these Wacky Holidays. Then when Twitter went down the last couple of days, which I rely on to help notify my network about these blog posts of mine, it forced me to re-think my approach to this subject matter. I think I've managed to make this harder than it needs to be, as with nearly everything else in my life.

Today is full of observances, ranging from the truly noble - Purple Heart Day - to the completely outrageous - "Particularly Preposterous Packaging Day". Huh?*As for the former observance, how does one turn from the horrific images of Hiroshima to a meaningful discussion on Purple Hearts? Except to say that it points out the flip side of any military's coin: military might can be used, like

Okay, I'm not completely stupid - men are going to see "underwear" and probably think of ladies' lingerie, because that's a pleasant thing to think of no matter what gender you are.

I totally dropped the ball on today's Wacky Holidays - National Chocolate Chip Day and National Night Out! First of all, you must know there was a very good reason if I missed any sort of holiday celebrating chocolate of any kind. Secondly, now that I'm on the computer researching this holiday it appears there is some discrepancy as to exactly what day National Chocolate Chip Day actually falls

Cowboys ... it evokes images as American as, well ... hot dogs and drive-thrus. Hollywood has certainly done plenty to glamorize the image of the cowboy, and even in 2009 it has hardly lost it's lustre and appeal to young and old alike. Just 2 years ago 3:10 to Yuma was a huge hit (and rightly so, it was a great movie). Cowboys are classic; they are timeless. They represent a lot of what makes

I got an email from Amnesty International about Natalia Estemirova. Apparently she was murdered last Wednesday, shot dead in a van she was thrown into. The small group of Russians fighting for human rights in Russia, of which Natalia Estemirova was counted among, probably have a bigger fight on their hands than those of us here in America do. Amnesty International is asking all of us to demand a

I am becoming a huge fan of Joanna Newsom. I was listening to an interview with her, listening to what she had to say about articulating her feelings, when it occurred to me that while God may have gifted everyone with the ability to speak, not everyone is an artist. I should say here that I hold her in the highest regard as an artist; I think she is incredibly talented. Everyone may have their

I'm not sure if I actually saved a man's life this morning, but I definitely did help someone who otherwise likely would have waited a long, long time before receiving any help. I was in my car in the parking lot at work this morning, napping. I'd gotten to work an hour early, gave Jen a ride in and her start time was an hour before mine today. She was sending me text messages which woke me up,

For some reason I've had the following passage from Ecclisiastes at the forefront of my mind, and resting on my heart; it applies to so many things in my life right now:Ecclesiastes 3 (New International Version) 1 There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under heaven: 2 a time to be born and a time to die, a time to plant and a time to uproot, 3 a time to

That's right - Patrick Wilson's birthday is today, July 3, so Happy Birthday to him!What the heck is he in, you ask? Well, lots of things but the thing that made me notice him was his singing voice, namely in the movie version of Phantom of the Opera. I'm telling you, he could sing anything to me, anytime. :) Only a man with a voice as awesome as Patrick Wilson's could make that hairstyle look

Y'know, some reports right after he died a week ago (has it been a friggin' week already??) claimed that he was "frail" and just generally not looking too good, but after watching the round robin of old footage of Michael Jackson over the years that ensued in the wake of his death, I thought, he's always looked frail!

There's crocheting and then there's making stuff - like, finished projects-type stuff. So far the only thing I'm doing is crocheting, like practicing stitches using a crochet needle and a ball of yarn.

I support the right to have free speech. A journalist or a protestor should have the right to express their views and opinions freely without fear of being locked up in prison and abused.

I think I saw BTTF3 back when during it's original run, and then I would have seen it in the theatre. But I honestly don't remember. The ending was truly one of THE most suspenseful endings I've ever seen in a movie - fantastic!Pi, on the other
