I’ve gotten back to writing a bit. I’ve restrained myself from crocheting for a while. I’ve been reading this week though. I don’t get a chance to read very often. When I read, I tend to tune out the rest of the world, and if it’s really good I won’t take a break until I [...]

Let’s rewind to mid-November. I was actively working on my novel every day. I was optimistically hoping I could keep up the pace and finish by the end of the year. Well, what happened? LIFE! A family emergency took my full attention for over a week. I tried to write a little in the midst [...]
I must restrain my optimism.

I somehow found myself with no opportunity this past weekend to write. (Except for a half hour window that I spent checking my email for the only time during the weekend) I was very frustrated because I have lots of ideas that I want to get down. Hopefully, I can manage to write extra today [...]

Well, It’s been over two months since I last posted. My computer got fried by lightning about two months ago. It was an iMac, and our back up computer is an old Gateway laptop. It’s just not the same. I haven’t gotten over it enough to get back to writing. I know that’s a really [...]
Three-Minute Fiction

I actually did enter that NPR contest that I mentioned before. I surely don’t expect to win, but it was a good writing exercise. The only specifications for the contest were that the story had to be no more than 500-600 words long. I’m not so great at coming up with ideas, so I wasn’t [...]
4 Months Later

Wow! I’ve been really bad. It had been so long since I even logged on that I had to reset my password. I guess it doesn’t matter, because nobody reads my blog anyway. (If you’re out there, leave me a comment so I know.) What’s going on now? I’ve gotten sick of putting things off [...]
More Problems with the DTV Transition
Posted in My Random Thoughts, tagged Antenna TV, Digital TV, DTV transition on February 24, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
What I posted before was only relevant to antenna television viewers in Arkansas, but all over the nation there are probably now many rural viewers who are very upset. While digital TV is clearer & better when it works, there are many issues that need to be worked out, and they should not have mandated [...]
One of many problems with the DTV transition

I haven’t posted in a while, but I just wanted to complain about the digital TV transition here in Central Arkansas. Our local PBS station, AETN (KETS) has been off the air for about a month now preparing to go completely digital. They were supposed to be back on the air tomorrow, but now we [...]
Best Songs of 2008
Posted in Good Music, My Random Thoughts, tagged 2008, albums, favorite, music on January 7, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
We weren’t able to buy many albums in 2008, but thanks to Paste Magazine & several websites offering free downloads (KEXP, NPR All Songs Considered podcast, Noise Trade, etc.) we still got a lot of individual songs. We now have a subscription to eMusic, so hopefully we’ll be able to get more full albums this [...]
Why the world can wait…

I am not good at making small decisions, so when I had to choose a name for my online persona I was quite distressed. My hubby made several suggestions, but I didn’t want to use a character’s name or something that didn’t really describe who I am. Finally, he suggested that I consider song titles [...]
