Lesbian Fiction and Romance

October 18, 2019 add1sun

In the last year I've been reading a lot of lesbian fiction, mostly romance. I've been enjoying myself, but it also feels a bit like a dirty little secret. Romance books are the stereotypical realm of the middle-aged woman, and well I'm a shining stereotype I guess. I've gotten so much joy from some of… Continue reading Lesbian Fiction and Romance

Photography Interrupted

November 24, 2013February 27, 2019 add1sun

I got off to a pretty good start with my photography fun, and then I was on the road for work, so things got a little backed up in terms of reviewing, editing, and uploading photos. I also managed to get sick as I was leaving Mexico for home, and I lost a whole day… Continue reading Photography Interrupted

My Weekly Photo Technique Plan

November 11, 2013February 27, 2019 add1sun

I’m on a journey to take a picture a day for a year, and in the process learn photography. To do that second part, I’m having myself do an exercise a week related to a specific technique, or aspect of my cameras. I couldn’t find a set of exercises and explanations that suited my needs,… Continue reading My Weekly Photo Technique Plan

Tap, tap. Is this thing on? (Also, a new 365 project)

November 3, 2013February 27, 2019 add1sun

Wow, it’s been over TWO years since I’ve posted anything here. I mean… Damn, that’s a long time. Well, I’m here to blow the dust off this thingy, and speak to the webs in more than 140 characters again. I’ve decided to tackle another 365 photo project (a photo a day for one year). I… Continue reading Tap, tap. Is this thing on? (Also, a new 365 project)

A photo a day for a year

December 28, 2008March 2, 2019 add1sun

I’m not much of a photographer. I’m more of a snapshotter. This year I’m going to snapshot my way through the year taking at least one picture a day. Why? Because I’m curious about what will show up. Thinking about my days from a visual perspective should give my mind a little bit of fun… Continue reading A photo a day for a year

In My Headphones: Hoots and Hellmouth

November 18, 2008March 3, 2019 add1sun

Last week I had a work trip up to Penn State University for a few days. It is so close (only three hours by car) that it made more sense for me to drive up than fly. I twiddled with the radio for a while before I finally gave up and popped in a CD.… Continue reading In My Headphones: Hoots and Hellmouth

The quest for fiction

September 16, 2008March 3, 2019 add1sun

Now that the Drupal book I am helping co-author is off to the editors, I’m finding a desire to read again in my newly (and temporarily) free evenings. I’m definitely in an escapist mood, so I’ve turned to good ole scifi and fantasy fiction. The only problem is that I am a finicky reader. Everyone… Continue reading The quest for fiction

In My Headphones: Fluke

July 25, 2006March 6, 2019 add1sun

So, recently I have been stuck on Fluke. They may be most well known to the general population (if at all) for the “sex/rave scene” music in The Matrix Reloaded, a track called Zion. Unless you listen to stuff like Chemical Brothers, The Crystal Method and Underworld you probably haven’t heard of them. I dare… Continue reading In My Headphones: Fluke

In My Headphones: Imogen Heap

June 21, 2006March 6, 2019 add1sun

I am not into music to the same degree I used to be years ago but I do have a nice big 30GB mp3 player that has a full range of music on it that I use for the commute back and forth to the big city. Now, I occasionally I go to random mode… Continue reading In My Headphones: Imogen Heap

We cleared a bunch of wild plants and thorns from behind the garage and today's task was to cut some stumps down and then line and gravel the whole shebang. That bag of gravel is literally a metric ton. (I moved about half of it today to get us to the last pic.) #sommerhus #weekendworkout
The #sommerhus garden project begins in earnest. The last picture shows the crazy overgrown hedge we had removed. Today was finishing clearing and setting up a raised bed. Eventually we'll build back a hedge and flower garden along with the veggie garden.
One big nutrition adjustment for #perimenopause+ is to increase protein. Between that and increasing my training I've been doing all kinds of things to get moar protein. We just tried these bug protein bars from @heyplanet_foods and they are good! Like, actually yummy. We'll be stocking up on some of these. #bugfood #sustainable
Rockin' my new @feistymenopause tank for today's workout. I started with some perimenopause symptoms a few years ago, and they've gotten more consistent in the last 6 months, as I approach 50. The Menopause Feisty group and their Hit Play, Not Pause podcast have been a good source of info, especially for those of us who want to stay active and train hard. #menopause #feelingfeisty
Kitty snow prints. Just a dusting of a snow last night.
We wanted to go to the movies. So we rearranged the living room into a movie theater, made popcorn, and went on a date. #lockdownlife
