The Rules: Don't take too long to think about it. Fifteen albums you've heard that will always stick with you. List the first fifteen you can recall. 1. Celine Dion: Chante Plamondon (Luc Plamondon is awesome!) 2. The Beatles: Let it Be 3. Les Miserables: Original Cast Recording 4. Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat:… Continue reading 15 albums (meme)

… even though it doesn't always work for me, I do like rules and order. I firmly believe people should deal with the consequences of their actions. This isn't to say that I'm not forgiving, or that I don't believe in forgiveness, however I do believe that when people break rules, they should realize that… Continue reading As you well know: I am rule-bound. And I like it.

… this would be my short review of The Music Man (1962), which I saw last night with Anick. I guess it was worth watching, as now I know where a song I've heard over the years came from, but it definitely wasn't a favorite film. Marion the Librarian was particularly un-intelligent/gullible (as much as… Continue reading An overly long movie punctuated with the very occasional good song…

And just in time for the school year too! (because come September, the volumes of emails that will hit my inbox will increase quite a bit, whether I want it to or not). This morning I woke up late — it is so dreary outside today! I find it is harder to get out of… Continue reading Finally: I am caught up on email (and whatnot!)

… or in otherwords me making a recipe so simple that it couldn't possibly lose! Yesterday afternoon, I spent a little while in the kitchen making spinach and feta stuffed mushroom caps. It was very tempting to eat them right when they came out of the oven but I was to bring them to the… Continue reading A successful cooking story…

So I was encouraged to come to a yoga class by my friend Anna today. And while I'm a fan of yoga, not all the classes I've had the chance to attend have been pleasant in the past. This time, however we went to Lion's Breath Yoga, and I had a great time. Not only… Continue reading Yoga at Lion's Breath

… either that or I just haven't been as productive as I would have liked to be this summer. Probably a bit of both actually. This week has been generally a good one. I have been exercising more, which feels good. Even when I'm collapsing on the floor with exhaustion, it feels pretty nice to… Continue reading The school year begins far too soon…

The above title is a great description for my day. I walked over 10 miles (well according to Google Maps) which means something like 16+ km. I was essentially running errands, but gosh did I travel some good distance! Biggest accomplishment (other than walking, since that is self-evident) was buying the majority of my needed… Continue reading Walking, walking and more walking…

Uh… I would like to become more knowledgeable about technology. Why? Because I often find that while I do know more than the average person, I definitely do not know enough about that which matters both for my degrees and for potential other pursuits in the future. Honestly, there is so much more I could… Continue reading Writer's Block: Knowledge is power

I don't want to live forever. I want to live a long and healthy life, acheive my goals and do well. But like in Johnathan Swift's Gulliver's Travels, I don't think that living forever would be entirely a good thing. So yeah, I'd much rather live long and healthy than to live forever. Forever is… Continue reading Writer's Block: Who wants to live forever?
