New Years Goals Part 2 Solo Acoustic Videos of all my Songs February 05, 2024

Last year I wanted to post a weekly solo acoustic video of all my unrecorded songs. My idea is that when people hear me live, there are often songs they like, but there’s no way to hear them again without seeing me live. My plan for this last year was to simply do one each week. Like my clothing goal, that wasn’t a good enough plan.

The second fly in the ointment was that as soon as I posted the first video, someone pointed out the vocals weren’t clear enough. Fair point. So I then spent a bunch of time... (more)

Just what's in my closet anyway? February 03, 2024

Yesterday I wrote a post about how I’m going to achieve my goal of wearing everything in my closet, and I mentioned that as part of my plan to achieve that goal I’ve taken inventory of what resides there. This has given my some insight into my own personal style that I thought would be fun to share.

The clothes in my closet fall into a handful of categories. LBDs, Crocket & Tubbs, metal T-shirts, Rocker Barbie, Kyla actually wanted to be a dancer.

We’ll start with the Little Black Dresses. Unless I missed something in the laundry, I have... (more)

New Years Goals Part 1 Wearing Everything in my Closet February 02, 2024

It’s a New Year and of course time for resolutions and goal setting and excitement for the year ahead.

Last year I resolved to wear everything in my closet. I wanted to take lots of fashion plate pictures as I went through the year putting every single thing in my closet on my body. I had a secondary plan to get rid of anything... (more)

Halloweens October 31, 2023

It’s Halloween today. I like dressing up, so you’d think I’d make a bigger deal out of Halloween than I do. (Mostly I just like shopping after halloween for deals! ) But if you invite me to a party, I’ll come up with a costume. Anyway, here’s some costumes I’ve thrown together over the years. First up, Xena Warrior Princess. I wanted to go as Red Sonja that year, but I did a quick survey of my friends in Quebec and determined most people wouldn’t know who that was, so Xena won. (Which is good, cuz I don’t need a... (more)

Monday Movie Day - Malignant October 30, 2023

Seeings as it’s practically Halloween and all, I suppose I should put up a horror movie review.

Malignant (2021)

6/10

Why are you going in that building alone at night?

Date Watched: 10 April 2022

Pretty entertaining, but I always find people making irrational decisions hard to take, and there are some peak horror movie irrational decisions made by the characters here that were a little too ridiculous for me to suspend disbelief for.

The story was cool though, and the villain was really well done. If you are a fan of movement and dance (which... (more)
