Things:

• All my book reviews but why also add them here when they’re already on GoodReads, and on StoryGraph, and on Instagram.
• All my movie reviews but why also add them here when they’re (at least for 2024 and 2025) all on Letterboxed.
• All my crafting but why also add them here when they’re on instagram and Flickr and Ravelry.

Reasons:

• I have gone to so few concerts and listened so sporadically to music in the past several years, it’s legit pathetic.
• My damn job + my advanced age = OMG the levels of tiredness are unimaginable.
• Should I even be maintaining this web site at this point? Considering copying it all into a book for myself and deleting the whole thing. I mean, if it’s going to be online, it might as well be here. Here reside TWENTY-FIVE YEARS of links and jokes and a million other things. So…. either keep it here and begin posting again, even if solely for my own amusement, OR delete it and send out a once-a-month newsletter of some type to friends. I mean, then people would have to claim it never came in the mail to avoid reading it, whereas this is just screaming into the void. I dunno.

What’s something you wanna tell me? My emails are open. As are the comments. Heh.

1. My first, and each subsequent, iPod.

2. The Moo cards I just got that are three years of photos of my nephew, with some of me & him thrown in and a few just of me making goofy faces to make him laugh. They are SOOOO AWESOME.

3. Fresh’s Milk Chocolate lotion (now discontinued! waaah!).

4. The chai tea from the machine in the cafeteria at work when we worked in World Financial 3 (pre-9/11 and our office getting destroyed).

5. My “grown up” bedroom furniture (post-move to Chicago).

6. My new (at the time) living room couch (post-move to Chicago). The most comfortable couch ever to walk the earth. So to speak.

7. My Daisy Rock guitar. It’s pink. And comes with butterfly and flower stickers. Girlie! 🙂 [ETA: I gave it away. I play ukulele now, maybe you’ve heard…]

8. My first, and each subsequent pair of, prescription sunglasses. Totally necessary. Don’t want to ever have to live without them again!

[update]9. Toaster Strudel. Takes poptarts to a whole new level. A level called Fucking Awesome.

[update]10. My cleaning lady. ‘Nuff said.

…updated periodically when memory lapses clear…
