After finishing the Mandalorian, Laura and David insisted I watch the first of the original trilogy, the movie that marked the beginning of the phenomenon that is Star Wars. As far as I am aware, I've never seen it. (Maybe I did when I was young, but I don't remember having done so.) So here… Continue reading My Introduction to Star Wars Part 2: A New Hope

My Introduction to Star Wars Part 1
Fair warning, this post contains spoilers about the Star Wars franchise in general. I am not one of those people who grew up on Star Wars. I never really had much interest in the franchise, and was always more of a Star Trek person. I made it to my 30s without ever having seen the… Continue reading My Introduction to Star Wars Part 1
Absence Update
Hey friends! I know I've been gone quite a while (almost a whole year now!) with no explanation, and I'm sorry. But I've been writing a book! All my writing energy had gone to this new project recently, so I haven't had time for the blog. I've got something I want to post, and I'm… Continue reading Absence Update
A Car Adventure Chapter 2
You may have noticed I've been pretty inactive lately. I've been super busy. In part because I have still been dealing with automobile troubles! If you have read chapter 1 you know that I was in a car accident not long ago. My car was totaled, it was a disaster, I had to buy a… Continue reading A Car Adventure Chapter 2
Anime Recommendations 2019
I did a similar recommendation a while ago of my favorite recent anime so here I go again. I don't really watch much anime, but recently I did a bit of a binge. I found one I liked and then quickly got a recommendation for another, that I also really happened to love. No Game… Continue reading Anime Recommendations 2019
A Car Adventure
A portion of highway 36 between Denver and Boulder collapsed, and suddenly my lovely little remote commute on 96 became swarmed with commuters trying to avoid the traffic. The commute was still very reasonable, but there were (and still are at the time of writing) markedly more cars. It was a Thursday. I was driving… Continue reading A Car Adventure
How to Make Christmas Tree Snow Globes
Christmas Tree snow globes. I have difficulty thinking of gifts for some of my family, because they seem to have everything they want, and I am too removed from their lives to know what I could get them that they would actually need or like. So, I have taken to making them gifts. Its cost… Continue reading How to Make Christmas Tree Snow Globes
Lupin the Third: The first
https://youtu.be/Uw7jrQQK3Mc Lupin the Third: The First trailer I have never heard of this franchise before, but this movie looks great. I'm really excited for this to come out. Apparently it has a pretty great history.
I Adopt Old Cats
Cats die. Their life spans are shorter than those of humans. So if you ever get a cat, it is likely to die in your lifetime. I like to adopt old cats from the pound. They are the most in need of help and comfort. Imagine a pound like a medieval dungeon or an asylum.… Continue reading I Adopt Old Cats
Young Memories
My earliest memory is of losing my shoe in the snow. It was a black shiny shoe with a little snap strap across the front. The snow was deep, and we were hiking through it, my parents, and their friends. I tried to ask my parents about the shoe. Why did we not go back… Continue reading Young Memories
