Page 2 The second principle lies close to the first: The man must enthrone his will to rule over his thought, his feelings, and all his physical powers, so that the outer self may give perfect, unhampered expression to the inner. It is futile, we assert, to lay down systems of rules for voice...

A bit of a rambly one.

Hello my lovies! It has been a few days so I realized I had better do a post! Unfortunately, I don't have any pictures to share with you today.

How to Build a Reading Hobby

I am on the e-mail list for a blog called "The Simple Dollar." An entry this week was on reading and I thought it had some very good suggestions for people who are just starting to truly read (not just magazines or the stuff they shove down your throat in school) or for people who have been reading...

Book-like meme

Lil did this first, Molly then got her hands on it. So I shall do my damage to it, because what's a meme without the added indignity of a haphazard blogger heeding it. Using the list below, bold all the titles that you’ve read. If you’ve read other titles by the same author, add them under that...

statement of purpose

This was a little web project I started several years ago, and had to put off while dealing with an illness. Subsequently, there was a move, computer issues and other things that prevented me from getting back to it. There were two more stories begun; the Goodwin one, and a mail correspondence with...

It's been so long...

Ok, so. I'm nicely moved in and settled. I've made some videos for you all to see. Yes, I'm a huuuuuuuge dork. If you can't handle this fact, then don't watch them and just move on.

Do I Have a Story to Tell

I had a dream last week about a normal work day. I got up, went to work, went to practice, and came home. It seemed like a real day, and when I woke up it took a few minutes to convince myself it was a dream. In the dream my conversations kept gravitating towards me telling a story. For example,...

I don't care what all those other parents say -

I think Chuck E. Cheese is a fantastic establishment! We just returned from there and I ask you, what other restaurant is designed so that your children can run around and make that kind of noise? I frequently hear parents say they can't stand the noise and chaos there. I can understand where...

100 Best Novels - how many have you read?

The Novel 100 is one man's ranking of the 100 greatest novels ever written. I'm a sucker for a list. I love to mark progress by checking stuff off. Given my poor memory, lists are the only way I can remember to do anything. I liked this list so much, I went out and bought the book. The author,...

From this post, a list of what are considered the 100 best novels, and a question as to how many of them people have read. I don't often go for lists, and I agree that it's hard to decide what constitutes "greatest." But I thought I'd give it a try nonetheless. I actually own a lot of the ones I...
