Many years ago, I figured out if I learned to bake, I could have freshly-made cookies any time the mood struck. Okay, in all honesty, I was way more interested in having unrestricted access to cookie dough, but regardless - the result was, I started honing my culinary skills pretty soon after I hit double...

First off, I just gotta say - Godsmack, Laurie Cabot, and Hammond Castle together in the official video for one of my favorite power raising songs? How the FRELL did I not know about this? Bad geek, bad witch, bad ME! *deep breath* While I'm taking a moment to get my brain under control, the... Continue Reading →
I've enjoyed showcasing some of my favorite photographers during National Photography Month, and I plan to do it again next May. I can imagine how many eye-candy creators I'll be featuring, now that I have a year to plan! For my last photo post, I choose two pictures - one of Niles Beach in Gloucester,... Continue Reading →
Keeping it simple today. I took this picture in March of this year, while driving around the backshore in Gloucester with hubby and the eldest. This quote from Margaret Atwood floated up in my newsfeed today, courtesy of Ravenous Butterflies. It seemed like a perfect match. “Water does not resist. Water flows. When you plunge...

I believe it was my mother who first introduced me to Richard Bach, via Jonathan Livingston Seagull. Unfortunately, that paperback, and my beautiful hard cover copy of, "There's No Such Place As Far Away" went to the great bookshelf in the sky two decades ago (victim of a slow roof leak in a former rental...

It's official! Agent Carter and Galavant have their renewals, and will each be back for a second season! I wouldn't kid about something like that! Finally! Hurray for giving in! Please do, Peggy. Yep. That. *grin* It's official! Agent Carter and Galavant have both been renewed, and will each be back for a second season!... Continue Reading →
Today is the first day of National Photography Month (as well as Beltane), so I thought I'd do a bit of show and tell with my cameras. If I recall correctly, the shutterbug didn't truly bite me until I was in high school. I'd played around with taking pictures before, and went through Polaroid film... Continue Reading →
When I first heard mutterings of The Evil Dead coming to television via Starz in the form of a limited series, my left eye began to twitch. I mean, it's not like I'd gotten wicked psyched for the is it a reboot, is it a sequel movie a couple years ago. Then, when hubby and... Continue Reading →
To be fair, my answer to the age old question of, "Star Trek or Star Wars?" would come down slightly on the side of The Enterprise and crew. But Chewie and company still occupy a special place in my heart, and this new trailer gives me a new hope that the upcoming trilogy will rock... Continue Reading →
They're baa-aack... And yes, technically Carol Anne and crew are also back (although our favorite spooky child is now named Madison), but I'm talking about the spectacular spookiness that launched a thousand 'shippers. The X-Files. https://twitter.com/gilliana/status/580418104011972609 Hubby and I started watching from the very beginning, way back a gazillion years ago in 1993. We're definitely...

After watching the third episode of the new show, iZombie with hubby and the eldest, I feel it is safe to declare my love for this latest based-on-a-comic-book offering. The main character is Liv - a medical resident with the perfect life, perfect fiancé, and perfect future. In short order, she goes from this -... Continue Reading →
