As noted here, I’m commenting daily on the WMG Holiday Spectacular—which is a great project that releases a story every day. These might be reviews. Or not. They might be interesting. Or … um … not. They will be fun, though. For me, at least. Here’s the next story. “A Hollow Earth Thanksgiving”Robert J. McCarter […]
Read More ...A Little Night Music: (Holiday Spectacular Story #0)
For the past, well, too long, I’ve let myself drift into a world of days that just kind of happen. There are reasons for that. It’s all fine, really. I mean, life is tough sometimes. It’s all good. But it’s not my style to be so reactive, and I don’t want to do that anymore. […]
Read More ...Muscle Shoals
On this day when Kamala Harris became the first black woman in history to assume the duties of President of the United States—and when Kyle Rittenhouse was acquitted of killing two people and injuring a third during a protest—I somehow found myself taking the time to watch Muscle Shoals, which is a documentary about a […]
Read More ...Fun Thing of the Day #4: What’s Up?
Yesterday I finally broke down and did a little playing with a video editor–it’s one of those things I’ve always told myself I was going to do, and just never got around to it. You know what I mean. One of those things that seemed like it would be fun if I just applied myself […]
Read More ...C.H. Hung: Stories that Ring
As you might be able to tell from the chronology between this entry and the last, the recent past has been a bit rocky here. Such is life, I suppose. Things will work out, and I’ll be fine. Anyway, that’s a way to say that two days ago—or, technically, two nights ago—I decided for the […]
Read More ...Before and After
Today—for the first time since, I think, February of 2020—before covid, anyway, I actually went and got a “real” haircut. Perhaps you might one of those who would say I’ve been overly cautious, or perhaps not. But once covid hit, I’ve stayed away from such public places as much as I could. As I told […]
Read More ...Fun Thing of the Day #3 – Morgan James and the Illustrated White Album
As a rule, I’m not particularly big on covers. Or, well, really, I am happy to listen to artists cover their favorite songs—but as a rule I’m almost always going to say that the original was “better.” This gets me into all sorts of twisted little arguments with folks who argue otherwise. This is fine. […]
Read More ...Fun Thing of the Day #2 – Diamondbacks, Baseballs, and the Golden Side to Social Media
As I noted a couple days back, I’m trying to focus on some fun things every now and again. The last one gave you a great little rendition of Bohemian Rhapsody. Today’s item comes courtesy of Kris Rusch, in that I had seen the headline in one of my twitter feeds, but probably wouldn’t have […]
Read More ...Fun Thing of the Day #1: Lake Street Dive Does Bohemian Rhapsody
I decided I wanted to do something just for fun, you know? Quirky, or witty or whimsical. Whatever. Didn’t matter. But I was feeling the need to focus on something interesting and positive and … well … fun. Like a lot of people, this past year has gotten me into a bit of a funk. […]
Read More ...Coronavirus vs. The Economy
After watching the Biden speech last night and having now been fully vaccinated (yay me!), I found myself getting interested this morning in the ways different people are viewing the virus. This is something I’ve done on and off during this little pandemic of ours, but it’s been a while. So I took a bit […]
