“Writing, I think, is not apart from living. Writing is kind of double living. The writer experiences everything twice. Once in reality and once in that mirror which waits always before or behind.” Catherine Drinker Bowen Image from my friend’s blog. You can explore–he has wonderful images and writes beautiful poetry. Wide Eyed Wanderer. Today,…

Pointless Ramble–Except for Music!
I like WordPress, especially now that they’ve upped the amount of “free” space for images. I have tons of images stored here and they’re only using up 3 percent! I also like that I can put anything I want on the tabbed pages above. I get a lot of traffic to Valen and the Norse….
Valentine Hodgepodge
How about a bunch of strange Valentine’s Day offerings? Who wants the same old boring stuff. Well… except for chocolate. Rachel sent me some of these for my surgical recovery and I made the hubby go out and get more since they go away after VDay. The ones she sent are filled with white…
Writing Update and Current Music
Sorry about the long silence. Had personal issues that took center stage. 🙂 I actually did this. Fell asleep writing the other night. Awakened curled up in a chair in my living room, the mouse on the floor. I have been working on manuscripts–need to update my progress bars, in fact. I’ve also been…
Sad News
Today was my anniversary. (It’s still the nineteenth, though this publishes as the twentieth.) At my wedding, we played Dan Fogelberg music because our very first kiss was at a Dan Fogelberg concert. I just found out he passed away. He was only 56. It’s so hard to believe that we won’t be graced with the…
Sad Today
[youtube=”http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2uYrmYXsujI] While Luciano Pavarotti was here, he gifted a lot of hearts and even more imaginations.
Weekend Music and Art
Jumped on tonight to share some music. I’ve been listening to Iron and Wine. Yes, folk music. I do have a love for that genre, too. Suprising from someone who is a fan of alternative, trip hop and groups like Tool and Korn–but I have all kinds of favs from classical up to metal. Believe me,…
It Arrived!!!
Two posts on this band in one week, but…. Over the Rhine’s new CD arrived! My sister, Jana, is so excited she’s coming over this evening for dinner. We’re gonna play it loud on all the speakers, share a bottle of red wine and cook some yummy food! I wasn’t going to tell her it…
Am I Theming or What?
Heather and I got into this long discussion on music we were into as kids. (She was inspired to post her 80s hair today.) I’m two years older and believe it or not, that makes quite a bit of difference in certain areas. She’d never heard of Planet P. Ack! She was so deprived!!1 [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=svl1t4b1RD4]…
And Now For Something(s) Completely Different
[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z8FeFjI3wHs] My daughter’s boyfriend introduced us to Kamelot. This is called Ghost Opera. Pretty interesting. It’s a kind of epic rock opera for those who don’t feel like listening to the whole thing. 🙂 Though the style is somewhat different, I was yanked back into Queensryche Fangirl Land. (Possibly the voice? Maybe?) Okay… am I the…
