Addicted to Skyrim
My roommate introduced me to Skyrim on PlayStation 3. I grew up with Nintendo systems. I still love playing Harvest Moon and F Zero GX, but Skyrim…the stories you’ll read and the people you meet and the freedom to do quests or explore is simply amazing. What games do you enjoy playing? What would you recommend?
The Artist’s Way
I’ve started reading “The Artist’s Way” by Julia Cameron. Currently I’m on Week 3 and already seeing improvements. I have written every day for over a year now, but through the course I’m also completing the morning pages, artist’s date, and tasks for the week. Morning pages is a daily task where I write three pages in …
Cooking and such
There are 22 episodes on YouTube of the Lizzie Bennet Diaries. If you’ve read the novel “Pride & Prejudice” by Jane Austen or even seen the films, check it out. This is the first episode. I watch the new videos every Monday and Thursday. I’ve been busy moving into a new apartment and making new dishes, …

Funnily enough I’ve injured my hands every day of the project including but not limited to: scratches, bruises, burns. I have also sliced my finger …

Lily Blooms and All
The lily bloomed. I made sourdough. And crocheted a wine bottle cozy–my first ever. With less than a week left for the poetry project, I’ve been able to write a poem a day about the bracelets. It has been an interesting project to work on every day. I think my next two-week poem-a-day project will be about hands. I …
Another interesting week
I finished another journal this past week. When I was a kid I wrote in journals/diaries about every three years. Since I started journaling regularly in January 2011, I’m on my fourth journal. Hopefully the new one lasts for four months. Reading a short story a day has not been successful. It isn’t a habit …
