I’m not going to go into the “why” since it’s a stupid (and long) story, but last night, I re-watched something called “Star Wars”. I’m sure you may have heard of this film by now. If I had to guess I’ve probably not watched this movie in roughly ten yrs or more. To be frank, […]

Question on graduation form causes an issue
So. I’m sitting in class Friday evening, next to one of my project teammates, and she is filling out a Saint Thomas form, before the evening’s lecture starts. I recognize the form since I filled it out myself in early Sept. – It’s a declaration of your intention to graduate (she’s filling it out a […]
The “Twitch” app and Bob Ross!
Bob Ross! Read something recently about a thing called “twitch” (which is now a part of Amazon). Apparently it’s an iPad/iPhone app, and it streams “stuff”. The thing that caught my attention is that they are now streaming a marathon of Bob Ross painting shows…ALL ~380 of them. The “twitch” app is free, and the […]
Middle of my final semester at Saint Thomas
It’s now the middle of my final semester. Just six more class sessions to go, then the final exam – there is no mid-term exam. i was just looking at my “grade history”, and noticed two different and distinct patterns: It seems I always receive “A”s in my Fall semesters, and “B”s in my Spring […]
Re-Reading “The Girl…Dragon Tattoo”, part 2

Peeve: Talking during a movie in the theater
I was having a conversation (with RML) last night, about people talking in a movie theatre – this person knows how I typically react, and mentioned to me they think I’m trying to be “confrontational” (by my asking the person talking in the theater, “could you please be quiet?”). No, I replied, I’m not trying […]
Baking and Banana Bread!
My thanks goes to Yvonne Van West, a few months ago, I was lamenting about a portion of my bananas going to waste since I tend to buy a bunch of six, but only get to eat three or four before they “over-ripe”. Yvonne was brilliant in sharing with me that I could be making […]
Lailah and recent MN Zoo outing
After doing our usual indoor play activities from 10am until about 1pm, Lailah and I drove over to the MN Zoo (it’s really nice being only 5 mins away). We then spent ~three hours walking around the outdoor animals, like the “Takin”, the Asian Wild Dog, the prairie dogs (she loved those little guys, popping […]
