June has been a good month to be outside. It’s like being in a virtual reality game, except you wear sunglasses instead of VR goggles, everything around you is real, and wild mushrooms are the opposite of power ups. Of course, more outdoors means less indoors, which means less screen and book time. Still, IContinueContinue reading “Monthly Mental Munchies: June 2019”

KMBM: Movies!
I believe a person’s movie collection is an examination of their raw psyche. A glimpse into their soul. A dive into the depths of their purest identity. Okay . . . perhaps that’s a bit dramatic, but I do think movies can be a quick and entertaining introduction to a person’s personality and interests. I’m notContinueContinue reading “KMBM: Movies!”

When Karma Comes A’Knocking
My spouse recently shared a story with me about something that happened at work. One of his sub-foremen found a bank withdrawal envelope containing $400 in cash just outside their work site. The withdrawal slip was tucked inside, which showed the unfortunate person’s remaining account balance of $91. Now, the right thing to do wouldContinueContinue reading “When Karma Comes A’Knocking”
Monthly Mental Munchies: May 2019
I find May to be a rather confused month. It never knows what it wants to do with the weather. One day, it storms about with thunder and ten-minute showers and the golden glow of raincloud-filtered sunbeams, and the next, it sweeps clean the clouds with chilly winds to show a sunnier disposition. I’ve scrapedContinueContinue reading “Monthly Mental Munchies: May 2019”
KMBM: Magnets!
Refrigerator magnets are ubiquitous things. You can’t escape a gift shop without grabbing a magnet or two to mark your travels. They can also help turn your fridge into an art gallery and appointment minder. I tend to be anti-clutter and a minor control freak but also pragmatic (it IS a convenient place to putContinueContinue reading “KMBM: Magnets!”
Top 3 Tips for How To Give, Ask for, and Take Critiques
I’ve been an active member of my local writing critique group since March 2014. They helped restart my writing engine after I’d stored it away for too many years. They encouraged me to keep working on projects I thought should be shelved. They highlighted places in my work where I’ve been sloppy and suggested waysContinueContinue reading “Top 3 Tips for How To Give, Ask for, and Take Critiques”

Love, Death, and Ranking Robots
Love, Death and Robots is a limited animated series released on Netflix in April 2019. Taken as a whole, I give the series the thumbs up, but like most anthologies, it delivers a mixed quality of stories, artistic styles, and entertainment value. Some of the episodes were compelling and visually arresting while others I watchedContinueContinue reading “Love, Death, and Ranking Robots”
Monthly Mental Munchies: April 2019
April is an in-between month. The Thursday of months, if you will. Not quite spring but definitely no longer winter. It’s also traditionally wet, blustery, and overcast. I find that as I grow older, I have less resilience to drab, cloudy days. I grow gloomier the more clouds pile up in the sky. This hasContinueContinue reading “Monthly Mental Munchies: April 2019”
