Random Posts

I pulled out my stack of postcards and a few cards from way back when I was more interested in collecting them over the weekend. I eventually will place some of them on some kind of flat surface and hang them on my bedroom wall. Key word eventually. I picked the ones that didn’t have

As I’m not eating because I needed to fast for a medical test, I decided to preoccupy my time by posting a few out of the hundreds of cards I store in my closet. It’s finally getting cooler in Nevada, if you think 90s is cooler weather. Soon, I will be able to wear wool

Music, Random Posts

I recently was looking at a Rolling Stone magazine and recognized none of the singers or their songs. I haven’t been into new/recent music for a long time. The last CD I bought was from a long time ago. I think many of the artists on the radio sound the same today. Since I grew

It’s already the second week of August and I’m still focusing on my rewrite and life in general. I’ve been watching more movies lately and trying to catch up on my never ending list of shows in Netflix and Hulu. I’m learning to cut down on certain shows, ones that would be background noise for
