Woo! Did slightly better this week. I really need to get back into running but it’s been super icy, and I hate running on the treadmill no matter what the movie is. But it’s like four weeks until that half marathon, so next week it’s crunch time. Today’s new exercise adventure was yoga in public, … Continue reading “Training Recap: 2019.01.28 – 2019.02.03”
Ship’s Log
A History of France, by John Julius Norwich
I’m so proud of this review, and I liked this book, so I’m just going to make today’s post a link to it. Look! Book Review! Here! The reason I’m proud of this review is that I think I nailed the tone that a reader who would like this book would like. It matches the … Continue reading “A History of France, by John Julius Norwich”
Maureen O’Hara!
TCM’s doing a tribute to Maureen O’Hara in July! the boss Maureen O’Hara isn’t one of my pet favorite film stars, but I’m not sure quite why. Maybe I just haven’t seen enough of her films. I wonder if I’ve only really seen Maureen O’Hara in her weaker roles. I should really take a closer … Continue reading “Maureen O’Hara!”
Training Recap: 2019.01.21 – 2019.01.27
Eek. This week did not go well. Ok, so in my defense, it was dangerously cold on Monday, and my little Hobonichi Weeks has a very firm warning scribbled all over Monday that says “DO NOT RUN OUTSIDE TODAY” in all caps. Cold weather really screws everything up for me, because I have a transportation … Continue reading “Training Recap: 2019.01.21 – 2019.01.27”
On My Mind, January 25th 2019 At 8 In The Morning After Minimal Sleep
I have nothing for you today because I’m busily scribbling away at this mystery novel that I currently believe is the worst book that has ever been written but from experience can tell even at this point is going to turn out really pretty great. Right now it’s less scribbling and more putting the scribbles … Continue reading “On My Mind, January 25th 2019 At 8 In The Morning After Minimal Sleep”
Better Worlds
Awwww! I just found out about The Verge’s Better Worlds series by way of Scalzi’s short story “A Model Dog” ! It’s a cute little story, I liked it for its humor and especially the animation. Do check it out. What this really reminded me of, though, is a Disney movie that apparently only I … Continue reading “Better Worlds”
Training Recap: 2019.01.14 – 2019.01.20
Welcome back to my weekly training blog posts! This week I ended up not getting as many miles in as I would have hoped, but it’s my first real week back so I’m not too worried about it. Much more importantly: for the first time in a long time, my foot wasn’t killing me during … Continue reading “Training Recap: 2019.01.14 – 2019.01.20”
Enjoy some filler content…
I am still scrambling to catch up on some projects (eep) so please spend today reading about and exploring the Ripley Scroll on my behalf. Because that’s what I wish I was doing instead of this bullshit I’m wading through. I saw this at Harry Potter: A History of Magic and I was super excited … Continue reading “Enjoy some filler content…”
Swear Trek
I’m stupidly busy writing and spending a million hours in the gym, so I’d like to take this day to share with you one of my new favorite things, Swear Trek. I think this is actually found footage of my inner monologue from my library days. It’s amazing. I will be communicating exclusively using these … Continue reading “Swear Trek”
ATP: Avalanche of Tedium and Pain
Good lord a year is a long time. The idea of doing anything for a whole year seems just impossible. I know it’s not–I mean, novel writing is kind of an endurance sport–but when I try to think of where I will be in my life in twelve months things start to get blurry. However, … Continue reading “ATP: Avalanche of Tedium and Pain”
