Weekly Wrap Up (01.14.2024 to 01.20.2024)

Hey yo, not dead, just busy mostly. I forget if I mentioned it at all before, but starting right off at the beginning of the year I started doing some night classes through a work deal, so that has been eating up a lot of time. They run 3 nights a week for like 5 hours. The last one is on Tuesday though, so that will be over, until the next one I've signed up for at the end of February. The class currently is a CCNA (Cisco Certified Network Administrator) prep class. I am pretty sure it also includes…

It's that time of year again, when everyone is cheerful and celebrating and partying and buying gifts. That's right, it's my birthday. And these days, there isn't a lot of partying or buying gifts. Which isn't really a big deal. I have long gotten to the age when I really don't care much for all of that. It's always kind of been a sort of, blessing and a curse having a birthday this time of year. On one hand, you end up being around more family more often so you end up with more "token gifts". Often you at least…

Oh look, I fell into the "Trap of Not". I am pretty sure I mentioned it before. It's just a little phrase I think about sometimes when I want to do something but I just, do not. Specifically, in this case, writing and blogging. Like these little Saturday write-ups, I wanted to at least keep up with them, but I ended up, well, not. I also feel stupid jealous of people who blog and write regularly right now. Look at Cynni's Blog here, she writes daily. Long detailed posts, daily, with her dog and her little neat cartoon images spiced…

Pygmalion Festival 2023 @ Urbana, IL

NOTE: Original Post Title: 2023.09.24 - Weekly Wrap Up (09.17.2023 - 09.23.2023) I am bad at selfies.  I added one last week to these little journal posts and I wanted one for this week but they are kind of bad.  Or maybe I am just bad at looking excited. Anyway, I'm not late, I am intentionally not on time, because I was busy yesterday.  I spent almost all day in Champaign (Urbana technically) at the Pygmalion event at the Rose Bowl Tavern.  I'm actually not sure if there is one of these or more of them per year, but it's…

Weekly Wrap-Up (9.10.2023 – 09.16.2023)

Part of the pain of these posts is, I don't really keep a log, so I have to go back and remember what I did the last week. Part of the point of these posts, is I don't keep a log, and I have to go back and remember what I did during the last week. It's all a sort of, purposeful, mental health exercise. Try to reflect on life and the good or whatever I suppose. Some weeks are in fact, truly uneventful and boring. Which in theory should be the time to spur some sort of reflection and…
