Ah, the start of baseball season.  You can not even imagine how much I have missed baseball.  I’ve been watching games that really have no interest in either team, but I have MISSED baseball.  That and soccer are really the only sports that I have anything other than a passing interest in.  And both are perfect for watching out the corner of your ( Read more... )

Okay, I think I’ve been watching and reading too many snarky things lately (*cough*NostalgiaChick*cough*).  It seems to have enhanced my natural snark factor to something that I feel the compulsion to write up.  I’m going to start with an easy target.  Song lyrics.  The easiest part of the entertainment world in which to poke logic holes.  I’ll ( Read more... )

I find that I have been watching a lot more baseball more than usual.  And since I can't seem to find anything else to write about, thank you writer's block, I could write about "my" team.

I'm a Minnesotan born and raised, as such I support the Twins.  Probably the only Minnesota team I root for with anything more than a passing indifference.  The ( Read more... )

So I'm reading a book called A Devil to Play again and I've found my favorite passage in it.  I'd like to share it with everybody.

Most of you who read this are full aware that I am I horn player and I know there is one that I have told to read this book.  Sorry Erica.  This book follows a freelance journalist named Jasper Rees as he undertakes to ( Read more... )

I need to start doing writing warm ups just for my own piece of mind.  I have a couple of story ideas that aren't gelling themselves in a satisfactory manner.  I am, however, learning a lot about the sports world.  Yay for lack of decent tv on during the day time.  Sport Center is the only mildly entertaining thing on.

Anyway, that is one thing I ( Read more... )

So I never intended to take that long of a hiatus on this thing.  Oops.  I really don't have anything substantive to write about.  So I'll just talk about two songs that I'm currently loving.

First one: Your Guardian Angel by Red Jumpsuit Apparatus.
It's sad, but I think that it's fairly true to the feelings.

I'm starting to re-learn the guitar.  It's harder than you'd think, just because the guitar I'm using is a classical guitar.  That means that the neck is wider and my fingers are in a more awkward position.  And I have yet to figure out how to get my hand to be able to do bar chords ( Read more... )
