another feline birthday!
As of Friday, Hana is eleven years young and as snuggly as ever. ♥ She's a softer touch than Maia but no less of a taskmaster, lol.

movie musings
I saw Oppenheimer yesterday, my first movie in a theater since Black Panther 2 last year. I picked that over Barbie because I figured Barbie would be in theaters longer, so I'd have more opportunity to see it. I probably wouldn't have gone to see either of them yet, but a friend wanted to go and my hesitation over how full it might be (because ( Read more... ) -
hello, it's me again
You know that thing where it hasn't been a while since you've posted and you keep meaning to, but time somehow slips away from you (and/or you're trying to have some computer-free evenings) and then there's so many things you could say that you don't know where to begin so you put it off even longer... yeah, that ( Read more... ) -
funny in an ironic way
I recently began devouring the Maintenance Phase podcast (tagline "Wellness and weight loss, debunked and decoded."). The interaction between the two hosts is lovely, and the topics are timely in terms of 'these are things I've been thinking about already', haha.
So I was listening to the "Is Being Fat Bad For You?" episode while checking my email ( Read more... ) -
2022 review
Following last year's model...
Some things I've enjoyed this past year:
- Everything Happens podcast of lovely conversations between Kate Bowler (author of "Everything Happens for a Reason and Other Lies I've Loved", among other books) and interesting people.
- Mayday: Air Disasters videos, which I probably ought to take a break from until *after ( Read more... ) -
how time flies...
At some point today, I was reminded that today is the 20th anniversary of The Two Towers coming out (!!).
TTT was the first time I'd gone to a midnight premiere (I've still only gone to... two...? maybe three?), so I re-read my entries from that date, which was fun. I mention wearing a homemade fan t-shirt that I'm pretty sure I still have ( Read more... ) -
... each of us must come and go in the telling ...
Today is somehow the 20th anniversary of my LiveJournal, which on the one hand feels like it surely can't be that long and on the other hand does feel like almost a lifetime ago. So much has happened since then, like making new friends and losing them.
was one of the handful of folks who I "stalked" on LiveJournal before I had an account of my ( Read more... ) -
belated welcome to my newest nephew!
I am a terrible aunt (and also was busy in early October, and stuff...), but my newest nephew, Elijah Raphael, arrived October 5th! Amusingly, Bri went into labor spontaneously rather than having to be induced, which was a first. But since they knew he had some physical issues, he arrived via c-section ( Read more... ) -

howdy
I got the updated booster this evening, woo. It's the Pfizer one this time--the other times I got Moderna--so I'm very curious if there will be any side effects or if it'll be a whole lot of nothing like before. I live life on the wild side ( Read more... )
