Great… A Ghost Showed Up in our Kinect

Published by under Misc F

Wonderful… my husband was playing Kinect this Saturday, alone, and suddenly a full figure of a person showed up behind him, with its arm over my husband’s head.  It couldn’t have been a shadow because the only light was above him so the only shadow was the one on the floor.  Also, my husband didn’t have [...]

AstroSearches

Published by under Misc F

I was wondering who, astrologically, checks their horoscope most often and did a little Google keyword research to find the following results. These are global monthly searches relating to signs and horoscopes, from least to greatest, and when two signs have the same number of searches, they are listed in the order that the Google [...]

Tulsa Icon, Admiral Twin, Burns

Published by under Misc F

Sadly, Tulsa’s only remaining drive-in, Admiral Twin, burned down earlier today.  The drive-in became famous after appearing in Coppola’s Oklahoma-filmed movie “The Outsiders,” based on the S. E. Hinton book. But it’s particularly sad for me because I have fond personal memories of the theater, including one of the first dates my husband and I [...]

Writing and Roller Rinks and Synthesizers: These are a Few of My Favorite Things

Published by under Misc F

I celebrated a birthday on the first and truly had a monumental weekend.  First my husband, daughter, and I went roller skating (for the 2nd weekend in a row) and I re-discovered how magical it was! There’s something beautiful and wonderful about the speed of bike riding and now I believe the same has to [...]

Termination of The Psychokinesis Project

Published by under Misc F,Writing

Since focusing is not my forte (and yes I realize that’s exactly why I should focus more), I have decided to nip The Psychokinesis Project in the bud and do something more productive with that topic (as well as the topic of media invasion) than an experiment, and so I’ve decided to…. [drumroll] …make it [...]

I just wrote chapter 1

Published by under Misc F

of what may be my first novel.  I decided to go with an idea without worrying about it ever being read or what a novel is supposed to be.  I don’t want to blog about what it’s about because I think that’s for the story to tell, but I will blog about reading materials I [...]

The Psychokinesis Project and Nina Kulagina

Published by under Misc F

After reading up on Nina Kulagina, a Russian woman who had very advanced psychokinetic abilities, I’m even more fascinated by the thought of it but at the same time I’m wondering if trying this on a daily basis is good for one’s health, especially after reading in Wikipedia that “In the late 1970s, a near [...]

The Psychokinesis Project

Published by under Misc F

As of yesterday, I have decided to attempt achieving one of my childhood dreams of being like those kids from Escape to Witch Mountain and spend 5 minutes a day trying to move the pen on my desk through telekinesis.  All kidding aside though (okay, maybe I did have the occasional fantasy of being like [...]

101 Things for Which I’m Thankful

Christine & Natasha in Grandpa

Since I have so much to be thankful for, and since it is Thanksgiving, I wanted to do a stream-of-consciousness post on 101 things I’m thankful for.  I thought about ordering them at first, but that just didn’t seem right somehow. 1. Natasha, Natasha, Natasha, Natasha, Natasha; my sweetest of sweets daughter.  I’ve been ‘in [...]

Progress (or Lack Thereof)

Published by under Misc F

My Death Knight Frostyna

Last week I started a new regime that involves playing more piano and implementing a healthier lifestyle… well I did work up my Bach and Debussy (though the Debussy has a little more work to go) but I only got half-way through my Hanon – I just got blocked when I got to the scales!  [...]
