senso-me-oh
So I put a tiny, lozenge-shaped thing into my shoe and it can detect and keep track of how fast/far I am running. The lozenge talks to my iPod which then talks into my ear, encouraging me to keep going and telling me congrats when I’ve reached my goal. Once I’m connected to the internet,…
Read Morefor the camera
This is the painting I bought at the art fundraiser I attended last Sunday. It’s an oil painted called “For the Camera” by a local artist. I plan on contacting him before I publish his name, just in case he’s shy. I apologize to the Visual Gods for the horrible photo. This piece spoke to…
Read Morea shot over the craft bow
Spotted on the “Classes” page of a website for a local quilt shop: Just when I thought the Great Southern California Quilting Civil War has ended, some hothead has to rile everyone up. Can’t we all just get along?
Read Morereligions were founded on lesser moments
I’m still trying to redevelop the habit of reading regularly and it’s some slow going. I enjoy it when I do it, so why am I so reluctant to do it? I had to return my book to the library today, since I had already renewed it once. I went to the check-in desk. Me:…
Read Morehard art
I’m writing this on 2/13. I’m a little cranky tonight, kind of overdone and Sunday-nightish and muddled. I am looking at a library book that’s due tomorrow and I’m barely quarter of the way through. There’s a mini-mountain of laundry on the floor, glaring at me accusingly. I have three good choices: read, do laundry,…
Read Morezelda inspires
I never played The Legend of Zelda video game but am pretty fascinated at how it has inspired creative nostalgia tributes by fans. This musician Sp0ntanius is unique and amazing. Here he plays “Song of Healing” from The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask on wine glasses. Check out his YouTube channel for other songs. Wouldn’t…
Read Morefeed frenzy: overload
I guess this has turned into a multi-parter post, as I’m going to embark on de-cluttering my Google Reader. This is part one. Okay, too many blogs to which I subscribe. By the way, I use Google Reader, as you should too (if you don’t already) so you can read blogs the easy way. If…
Read Moregettin’ older! the perk edition
That’s Paulie and me (I am “Scary Facelift Lady”) Perk of gettin’ older: I’m so much less embarrassed by things that would have killed the younger Becky (discussed here). Perk: There are people out there that do prefer more seasoned ladies to with whom to canoodle. Perk: I am unable to be lazy, on the…
Read Moreshe’s a goodie
Since I technically (and accidentally) published today’s earlier liberal rant yesterday, I feel that I should post something else, so that my future victory at Post a Day 2011 doesn’t get sullied with an asterisk. Besides, today’s a good day! It’s my niece Sarah B’s birthday today. I love her so much. She was my…
Read Morebonzo rant
Sorry if you saw this post in a half-complete form yesterday — by accident, I scheduled it to be published a day early. You’re welcome to read it now — or not, if you don’t fancy me getting all angry and political for a bit. It’s no secret that I’m a liberal person. I don’t…
