The 2010 Studio Ghibli movie, “The Secret World of Arrietty”, is probably the most modern version of the Borrowers that I know. My step daughter was home sick from school and this was the movie she ended up picking to start her sick day. I sat with her a bit and watched because I reallyContinue reading “The Borrowers”

The Art of Simple Living: Part One
Okay, the first part of the book is really interesting. It makes sense because Zen is one of the building blocks to the foundation of DBT skills. The book is nice since it really only has about a page of text about each of these points. It’s not really something I’ll expand upon to muchContinue reading “The Art of Simple Living: Part One”
Library Haul
One of the books I opened from the library had a green “4” UNO card tucked in it. Is this a sign? Not sure why the Naga section of the book was bookmarked. I’ll have to ponder and think up some strange story behind all of that. I had to return some of my booksContinue reading “Library Haul”
Picking Up the Pieces, Moving On
A week after Velveteen passed, I finally started to clean up her space. It had been hard to do anything right afterwards. My SO had my step daughter stay out of the living room, because the whole thing had my emotions raw and I was really sensitive. Her computer is in our living room andContinue reading “Picking Up the Pieces, Moving On”
Behind the Frame: The Finest Scenery
This game came to my attention thanks to this article. As someone that draws, the basic premise behind the game is sort of funny. I watched a bit of footage for it and it made me chuckle. It’s a fairly simple game that doesn’t look like it actually takes skill. It’s mostly about the story.Continue reading “Behind the Frame: The Finest Scenery”
Hibiscus Tea
I love hibiscus tea. It comes in close second behind black tea. As a Southerner, we end up drinking a ton of classic black tea in the sweet, iced form. I typically like hibiscus straight up, but I’m probably going to try the recipe from that image up above soon. Hibiscus is often the fillerContinue reading “Hibiscus Tea”
Mindfulness and DBT in a Cartoon
I will be very honest. I have NEVER seen an episode of Steven Universe. I’ve read some Wikipedia articles and watched some Youtube videos about the show, but never watched a single episode myself. I do like the music for it though and I’ve listened to a ton of the songs via Youtube music videos.Continue reading “Mindfulness and DBT in a Cartoon”
Part of History?
I honestly was never one of the types to imagine being around for something historical. All of that seemed like science fiction from a novel. Even now the idea of space travel seems so far away. I’m the type that doesn’t really go out and seek adventure. Unless you count picking up a book asContinue reading “Part of History?”
September 11th
Today is September 11th. In the United States of America, this is a day of tragedy and remembrance for those who died. Patriot Day hopefully should not be confused with Remembrance Day (Poppy Day), which is on November 11th. I’m not going to go into depth today, I wrote a little bit about 9-11 andContinue reading “September 11th”
