Life Update

So my blog is woefully neglected at the moment, which seems an opportune time to give an update on what's going on with me. Especially since this weekend has been particularly lazy - though I did find the time to rearrange my kitchen.   Firstly, on the work front, things are somewhat stressful. I work in quite a dynamic industry - IT Project/Programme Management - and in particular I work in a small subset of the industry that is very VERY fast paced and demanding. Travel is now more and mo

Graduations and Alumni Weekends

My oldest niece graduated from high school today- Charter School of Wilmington's Class of 2013! It was pretty cool to watch- the ceremony was at the DuPont Theater in downtown Wilmington. The class salutorian was actually pretty funny, the speakers weren't boring, and they had a cool touch with a powerpoint show that showed a large, blown-up picture of every senior as they graduated. It was a pretty stark contrast to my own graduation in 2005- a dark rainy night, really boring speeches, and diso

Weekly Wrap Up!

He's baaacccckkk! Heh - this is my first Weekly Update in seven weeks, but as I mentioned in our Wednesday blog, I've been able to use this time to deal with a number of things and now that I have a handle on my offline life, I can put in a bit more time to this wonderful online community.   So - what has been happening around here? Well, as is usual for the last Monday of the month, we had the Discussion Day for our Can't Stop Reading book club, where May's reads were four Reader's Choice A

Pot Shop (A Macklemore Parody)

I thought about posting this in the internet forum, but due to the political nature of the rap, I thought I'd just post it here.     Definitely a very well-done parody. I loved the use of the D.A.R.E. shirt- a program shrouded in good intentions, but didn't really do much to actually stop the children of the 1980's and the 1990's from using drugs.

WL's Review: The Boy in the Striped Pajamas

I should probably do a series of blog entries dedicated to movies that I watch:   Well, up next is a sad movie with a not-so Hollywood ending. While I loved Schindler's List, it was far two two dimensional. The Boy in the Striped Pajamas was far more interesting and dynamic. The scenes between Bruno, the german 8 year old boy, and the Shmuel, a Jewish 8 year old boy, really touched something in my heart and soul. The subtext of Bruno's family, a Nazi affiliated military one, with the complex

My Mom

I know that I may bore many with this entry, but twenty five years ago my mom had a massive heart attack. She was the age that I am now. The doctors told us that if she made it through the summer, she would make the winter. She died August thirty-first of that year. She was the only girl of ten children. Today, only one of her siblings lives. They all died of heart failure. Yeah, it scares the hell out of me. My hubby is very supportive and day to day life makes me question my existence. I have

Writing Prompts #234 & #235

Friday, Thank God .... well it is Friday so that means it is time for the prompts again. Hope everyone has had a great week so far. Time for me see what sort of draw I can get with this week's choices for writing prompts. Take a gander and see if either of them appeal to you.   Prompt 234 – Creative Tag – Insomnia After four long days of non-sleep you are beginning to feel like you are going to lose it.

Author Spotlight - SJD Peterson

Every Thursday I spotlight a different author on my website. These are either interviews like today's or they pick the topic and write about them. I'm going to start reposting them on GA on Fridays. I can't promise the cover art or other photos, will transfer, but I'll provide a link if you want to see the original.   Today I'm doing it a bit early because today's guest is giving away a $10 gift card to one lucky person who leaves a comment.

Masc Appeal

I’m never really sure what I should write about in blogs and that’s probably why I’ll create one, write an entry or two and then meander off to some other project. But I am searching for discipline when it comes to writing and I think keeping a blog will help me gain control of a functional but rampant imagination. Well, that’s the hope anyway.   Originally, I thought that my first blog should be about me but that idea sounded pretty boring. After combing the dark recesses of my brain, I came

Volunteer Work- Day 1

So today I started doing volunteer work at a small museum near where I went to undergrad, called Newark Historical Society. I decided to do this in order to keep my skills relevant while I look for a paying job.   They started me on a project where I'm going to go through 5 boxes that city hall sent them, which consist of photo albums from the 20th century Memorial Day parades. I'm not doing any real processing yet, just a little inventory. Today I looked at Box 3 of the Collection- it had alb

Review of Warm Bodies, a Zombie romance movie

Okay, a non-controversial subject, Zombie love   And no I am not talking about any passion I have with a certain member of GA (Haha!)   Seriously, I love this movie, which is unsurprising to most people who have known me or read these blogs for a while. I hold a lot of existential philosophical views and a self-aware zombie, who falls in love with a human would be right up my interests.   What caught my interest in this movie was the reviews and the tag line from Dread Central (for you ho

Countdown: 36 Days!

So, my sister came up to help me on Friday with my storage unit. We stuffed her minivan full of my boxes and hauled it all back to where I'm currently living. We pulled out the few units that will be going to my new home (the rest will go to storage in Alaska) and then we got to work on the remainder of my bedroom. The miscellaneous boxes I've been living out of the last 2 years are now gone. Funny how the room seems so much bigger.   But it hit me as I set the last box on the stack that

Funny Bump Story of the Day

Ok I couldn't resist this one....   Today was Ari's birthday party (she turned 6). She is in Bump's dance class along with a boy named D (who is 6 and a half). Well D keeps saying that he is Ari's boyfriend and Ari don't correct him, however, she makes room for Bump. Like today, D picked a spot that had two seats left for him and Ari to sit to have their hot dogs and mac-n-cheese, but Ari made her daddy move another chair over so Bump could sit with them too.   Well, Ari has a big brother

Got a sinking feeling about Woolwich killing/Sweeden Riot/Other stuff

My heart goes out to UK soldier killed a few days ago by being run over and hacked to death.   The message behind this murder is one we have heard a lot in the past few months, Radical Islam. Hate to say this, but it's an obvious problem that won't go away.   Whether it is Boston, England, China, or Russia, a free society or closed society, and varying degrees of religious tolerances, there's a big problem brewing between varying cultures and those that profess a radical line of Islamic adhe

My first blog post

So in all my years at GA, this is my first blog that I have done Since it is politically sensitive it had to go here instead of a Lounge topic.   Thursday marked what I consider a monumental change in the way gay rights is viewed in the US.   http://www.reuters.com/article/2013/05/24/us-usa-boyscouts-ban-vote-idUSBRE94M1A320130524   I personally know of some members here at GA that have tried to help American Scouts to get their Eagle Scout badge after they were kicked out for being gay.

Dirty Politics for entertainment

Let me just say, someone on this show was definitely a disgruntled Republican and an angry Tip O'Neil democrat   House of Cards is a really interesting show. the behind the scenes struggles and corruption haven't been this openly shown to the public, ever. Beyond politicians being scheming bastards, Manipulative reporters and false information are a mainstay in Washington in every administration. Kevin Spacey is always a great standard bearer.   The show gets a lot of interesting details ab

Finding a bit of relief

Okay, I have been in physical therapy for two weeks now, and have finally found my first bit of relief. Yesterday, my therapy took a new direction. In addition to the chiropractor , I have begun trigger point therapy. Basically, they insert needles into the muscles of my back and inject something to force the muscles to relax. I hadn't realized how tight the muscles were, but a day later my back is in constant ache mode. I will take that as a success.   At work one of the women I really get a

I Won an Oscar Last Night

Stephen Spielberg stand aside. Peter Jackson can come see me for lessons!

If you'd been in my dream last night, you'd have had no doubt it was a masterpiece of visual fiction.   Oh man there was edge of your seat action.
