practicing every day agorism

A blogger I’ve read in recent weeks mentioned freecycle as agorist in theory. Sunni’s written a good share of what I’ve read about agorism. Was that you, Sunni?
Freecycle is a wonderful way to dip your toe into the pool of agorism. Not every group is built the same, but usually how [...]

Quick Quinoa with some added goodie-goodness

After the yin yoga class I took last week, I was so hungry. The gal who checked me in for the class told me she always felt super hungry after a good yin yoga session, so maybe it was the mental seed she planted. Who knows… anywho, I came home to an empty house, knowing [...]

What do you want to do with today?

Last week I had my pressure canner serviced to make the sure gauge was still accurate. I’ve used the kettle part many times for water bath canning, but the thought of pressure canning has scared the bejeezus out me. There’s something mighty intimidating about pounds of pressure, processing enough to avoid food [...]

Terrible way to wrap up a Sunday afternoon

I work a little weekend gig, and on the way home this afternoon I saw a dog walking on the grassy edge of a freeway offramp, toward south bound I-5. I’d already passed the offramp, so I couldn’t pull off and try to stop the dog without one of us having to cross [...]

Group of 60

I’m not a huge resolution fan, but the new year inevitably brings my line of thought back to how I’d like to improve my life. In years’ past, I must admit, I’ve too often given myself a stiff brow-beating. As we all know, personal inner bashing does little to motivate anything but the [...]

I like a nice quickie every now and then

At least when knitting up a little bauble. Knitting bigger projects can start to drag on a bit, so having a back up, need to complete something, project to knit up quickly is good to know. Accomplishment can give you a large burst of needed confidence.
Here’s a bitty quickie I enjoy knitting up. I [...]

Now, more than ever, look within

I just finished watching the inauguration hoopla. Some may question why I viewed the pomp and circumstance— the reason why I took the time is because whether we like it, or not, the new administration is hovering over the chasm dividing us from outward freedom.
True freedom comes from within. Even in [...]

Poe toasted on the 200th anniversary of his birth

January 19th was the day Edgar Allen Poe was born. For the last 60 years, the Poe Toaster has visited Poe’s grave on January 19th to lay three red roses and leave half a bottle of cognac on Poe’s grave, after raising a cognac toast to Poe’s honor.
Today was no different than the [...]

Let’s Yak About Art: the Passing of an American Artist

American Contemporary Realist Andrew Wyeth passed away today. I linked to a wiki page about Wyeth, in case any readers would like to read about his life, because I’m not going to discuss his personal history much in today’s Let’s Yak About Art post.
The first art history class I took was in the fall of [...]

Library Thing— Why the sudden interest?

I’ve had a library thing profile for quite some time, and in fact haven’t updated in ages. It’s sure garnering a bunch of hits of late, despite the moldiness of the info on the profile.
I must update it soon. The most noteworthy book I’ve read lately is the graphic novel V [...]
