When I walked out of work Saturday morning, I so wished that I had my camera with me. What I saw all around me was the definition of a winter wonderland. Every single tree that I could see was coated with fresh white snow. That simple covering ...

mind and body

At long last I have gotten back into a regular exercise regimen again. Ever since August, any consistent effort at exercising has been a struggle. Now that seems to be behind me. Even with all of the recent holiday activity, I've been able to s...

Everything is still quiet at this time of day. Meeting with family is not until later this afternoon. I am looking forward to a fun day of food and stories that will become memories. This is why I love the holidays. The geek in me received an ...

six thousand records

2007-12-23T14:49:22Z

As of three this morning, rain continues to fall outside melting the snow that would have been pretty to see on Christmas morning. Perhaps that will change in five hours when I leave to go home. ... Korean director Ki-Duk Kim continues to impress...

I have to work tonight and tomorrow night, but once those nights go by, I can truly begin to enjoy the holiday season. As far as I can tell, everything that needs to be done by me has been done. My Christmas tree has been up for a couple of week...

one less property

2007-12-14T00:03:34Z

Today my real estate broker informed me that this Friday there is going to be a second showing of my old condo. Dare I hope? This is the first time that someone has requested a second showing so they must be interested. Is an offer far behind? ...

many jovian invaders

2007-12-09T23:06:16Z

Last night before I left for work, I sampled what for me is a new anime series called Martian Successor Nadesico. The contrast between it and Witch Hunter Robin series that I just finished is amazing. First of all, the overall tone of Nadesico i...

icy nicole kidman

2007-12-09T02:09:47Z

Sadly I have to say that the movie version of The Golden Compass did disappoint me slightly. I hadn’t read any reviews prior to going to the theater, but I had read the book before I saw the movie so that did color my expectations. Oh, visually ...
