Thor is a Hero
Warning: If you haven’t seen End Game yet, and don’t want to be spoiled, don’t read this. I don’t think it gives a lot away, but I don’t shy away from stating some things that happen in the movie.
Disclaimer: I am not, nor have I ever been, a psychologist. The following are my opinions and observations; I don’t pretend to understand the intricacies ( Read more... ) -
365 things
I have decided I need to clean up my digital files, and so, I am starting to go through my folders, deleting stuff I don't need - or that won't even open because the file is in an obsolete type. And I found a folder for 365 things. Seems I started this in November 2018!! and made it three days before it petered out. It is an interesting idea - ( Read more... ) -
Horror Movie a Day
I purchased the HMAD book in 2020 - from this blogger - basically just for some new horror movie ideas. I watched a few here and there in 2020 and 2021, and in 2022, I decided to try my own Horror Movie A Day - some (most) are from the book, but I have been doing pretty good - I have had one day where I just couldn't watch the whole movie...I got ( Read more... ) -
Commonplace journal
I just read this article on bookriot, about a commonplace journal - a place to keep quotes and such from books (and TV and Movies) - I have a quote list that I stared ages ago, but I really like the idea of collecting them in a journal, and we all know I have lots of blank journals - and ongoing journals - and finished journals. So, I am going to ( Read more... ) -
Retirement
Today is kind of my first day of retirement (it would have been a day off if I was working, and tomorrow would be a holiday, and then the weekend...so kind of) It feels a little weird. To think that I don't need to worry about what questions or problems might pop up today, or next week, or next month at the office. That I don't need to worry ( Read more... ) -
Toys are Toys
I just read this article about lego eliminating gender labels on its toys, and can I say IT IS ABOUT TIME.
How can something be a girl's or a boy's toy? can't they all just be toys? I played with Tonka Trucks as a kid (although one of my favorites was a pink pick-up truck), and my brother liked my SeaWees

This Changes Everything
I just watched this changes everything on Netflix and I am shocked at how things are. I think myself lucky as my heroes as a kid were Wonder Woman (thanks Lynda Carter!), the Bionic Woman (Lindsay Wagner!) and who did I look forward to on Saturday morning but Isis (Joanna Cameron) and parents who encouraged me…I remember my first introduction to ( Read more... ) -
Air Quality
The Denver metro air quality for the past few days has been TERRIBLE - like worst in the world. I fear that this is going to be the new summer - that it is really hot, and the forest fires make the air too ucky to breathe, and the ozone levels too high to really enjoy summer. I am not a huge fan of summer anyway, but it saddens me that the days ( Read more... ) -
Wordpress
I have now copied my wordpress blog posts from my time at San Jose State to my LiveJournal blog - I don't know how long the SJSU blog will be around, and I didn't want to lose my (brilliant) posts :-)
I have started working on 23 things, and had hoped to have it done long ago, but I still have quite a few to get to -
so, for all those old MLIS ( Read more... ) -
GoodReads vs The StoryGraph
I have imported my current GR shelf into The StoryGraph, just to test things out. I am a bit tired of the controversies that often pop up on GR (and I had an author ask me to review a book, and I did - but I didn't like it...well he emailed me to tell me how terrible I was for not liking his book - seriously? get over it, not everyone is going to ( Read more... )
