(Untitled)
So i have been exploring Americana folk music lately - if that's what it's called. I have been loving songs in harmony that are a little bluesy, a little gospel/spiritual or god help me i know this prob isn't politically correct but i don't what else to call them - slave songs. Bands like Wailin' Jennys and the Secret Sisters. Songs like "Didn' ( Read more... ) -
my food experiment
About 2 years ago I joined Weight Watchers and expeienced moderate success quickly as I began to change the way I ate. I lost 35 lbs in the first 6-8 months. In the 2 years since i have fallen away from making better food choices and slowly gained 25 of the weight back. i'm still down 10 lbs so i consider that a win. I also know that the choice ( Read more... ) -
Be Better
I was a little bit better today than I was yesterday. My bit of better was that I picked up a piece of trash, a used plastic cup and lid, from the concourse floor on my morning walk through the casino that I work at. I could not find a trash can nearby so I kept the discarded beverage holder until I found a security guard and asked him where I ( Read more... ) -
grayscale sliding
So i really wanted to ramble on about how totally obsessed I am with Ian Somerhalder these days, but he has just been eclipsed by Katherine Moennig. On my grayscale she totally makes me slide the other way. it's weird though because it's a toss up as to whether or not i want to be "with" her or if i just want to "be" her. -

Today’s thought is not so much that I’ve become my parents, more that i recall two instances when I became older ( Read more... ) -
damn you Facebook and catch up time on LJ
i had something to say - really i did. several somethings. thought of them several times over the last two weeks - in the car, at work. Now that i'm at the computer, alone - it's gone. i caught up with friends - Facebook and LJ posts and and hour has gone by. my ass is going numb. and i can't remember what i wanted to say. *sigh* -
when a good life gives you strength - Fever series musings (and spoilers)
I have begun rereading the Fever series by Karen Marie Moning. I like that Mac, her main character, does not come from a broken background. I feel that many of the heroes and heroines of fantasy stories come from a tragic place and it's nice to see a main character who comes from a nice place. Mac comes from middle class Southern Georgia where ( Read more... ) -
dialing my past
I picked up an old address book today, the orange one with the white rabbits and dot flowers on it. I don't recall where I got it exactly, there is some distant memory of it being given to me by an odd relative and even though not my "style" it was what I had and so I used it. I was looking for an old much unused number - for my aunt who has ( Read more... ) -
