… or in otherwords me making a recipe so simple that it couldn't possibly lose! Yesterday afternoon, I spent a little while in the kitchen making spinach and feta stuffed mushroom caps. It was very tempting to eat them right when they came out of the oven but I was to bring them to the… Continue reading A successful cooking story…

So I was encouraged to come to a yoga class by my friend Anna today. And while I'm a fan of yoga, not all the classes I've had the chance to attend have been pleasant in the past. This time, however we went to Lion's Breath Yoga, and I had a great time. Not only… Continue reading Yoga at Lion's Breath

… either that or I just haven't been as productive as I would have liked to be this summer. Probably a bit of both actually. This week has been generally a good one. I have been exercising more, which feels good. Even when I'm collapsing on the floor with exhaustion, it feels pretty nice to… Continue reading The school year begins far too soon…

The above title is a great description for my day. I walked over 10 miles (well according to Google Maps) which means something like 16+ km. I was essentially running errands, but gosh did I travel some good distance! Biggest accomplishment (other than walking, since that is self-evident) was buying the majority of my needed… Continue reading Walking, walking and more walking…

Uh… I would like to become more knowledgeable about technology. Why? Because I often find that while I do know more than the average person, I definitely do not know enough about that which matters both for my degrees and for potential other pursuits in the future. Honestly, there is so much more I could… Continue reading Writer's Block: Knowledge is power

But like in Johnathan Swift's Gulliver's Travels, I don't think that living forever would be entirely a good thing. So yeah, I'd much rather live long and healthy than to live forever. Forever is… Continue reading Writer's Block: Who wants to live forever?

I think that global warming is happening (regardless of to what degree it is human-mediated, it is happening — we're unlikely to enter another mini-ice age any time soon). I believe that sustainability is something to strive for. Of course all things must be taken into account: one cannot just be sustainable in a void.… Continue reading Writer's Block: Let the sun shine in

To be honest, a multitude of things. I think the last thing that made me cry was stress at life in general. It was in the last week, and well, though the fact that my grandmother died in the past week, that wasn't the root cause (though it could have contributed to my emotional state,… Continue reading Writer's Block: It's allergies … really!

So, I've developed a few daily to-do items: -exercise (at least 30 min on the Wii or the equivalent of other activities) -clean (one full task) -write (at least one page in my book, hopefully more) -email/social media (stay on top of) And since developing this list, I haven't yet failed. Which is a good… Continue reading Daily to-do lists, and Cirque musings!

I would describe myself as dedicated. If I take on something I like to do the very best that I can at that thing if it is so possible, and will devote a lot of time, energy and thought to it. This is not always a good thing, but insofar as it can be, it… Continue reading Writer's Block: Me, myself, and I
