A Bath
[caption id="attachment_1838" align="aligncenter" width="500"] Photo Credit: kimfaires via Compfight cc[/caption] This weekend, I squeezed in an actual, sit-down, bath. Normally, I'm a stand-up, showering guy, but I was on a mini-vacation, so I figured a treat was in order. That feeling of completely relaxing in hot water is a rare luxury that most of us,…
When You Were Young
Happy Chinese New Year! I like when a song makes you feel nostalgic. Today's choice is a song by The Killers, a band out of Vegas. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ff0oWESdmH0 They put on a good live show. Hopefully, I'll catch them the next time they're in So Cal. More: Music Mondays #19
Time Management
Managing time is a bit like a game for me. I have a work calendar, which stays relatively simple, and a set of personal calendars. Some of the personal ones are basically like the old paper ones many used to use: they store things like birthdays and anniversaries.

Just Another
Another week, another song. This week, it's this classic little gem: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SsmVgoXDq2w It's not my favorite song by The Bangles, but it does pop up in my head many Mondays. Enjoy! :) More: Music Mondays #18
A Decent Saturday
Another Saturday, another convention. This time, it's Anime Los Angeles, and it's the second day. This is only my second anime-focused convention, and it's certainly larger than the first I attended a couple weeks ago. The main things noticeably different, to me, than a more general or even comic convention is that the vast majority…
What’s Boring?
Politics bore me. There, I said it. It's not that I find them unimportant, because I know that very often, there's matters at stake that affect me or people I care about. It's just that, far too often, basic logic and critical thinking are less valued by the loud voices, which I quickly tune out.…
#MicroblogMondays: Card Protection Rules
Identity theft sucks. Being forced to get a new debit card sucks. Card protection and zero liability rules. Also, I have never had a bibliotherapy prescription (the post below is related), so I don't know how I'd feel about it. I do like recommendations, though. Have a good week everybody!
