DragonSlayer Diaries: Magic Wands and Squeaky Wheels

http://dragonslayerdiaries.blogspot.com/2012/11/magic-wands-and-squeaky-wheels.html

Once upon a time a woman and her daughter met a real live fire-breathing dragon. That dragon's name was cancer and that woman was me. Reader beware: Here there be dragons. Sunday, November 4, 2012. Magic Wands and Squeaky Wheels. Did you know there are angels among us? I exposed the wounded, self-pitying, toddler-tantrumming bits of my spirit via email. What kind of person does that? My embarrassing response to the lovely, fairy-dust-spreading Audrey:. Miss you, Audrey. Miss you. I think it makes Lauren ...

The Big Sleep | Annotation Nation

https://annotationnation.wordpress.com/2014/05/31/the-big-sleep

Annotations of the writers, by the writers, for the writers…. May 31, 2014. Book by Raymond Chandler. Annotation by Hedwika Cox. Raymond Chandler provides minimal insight into the third person experience of Philip Marlowe. We are okay with this. Because despite this detail, we still receive an enlightened perspective of the world around him through his language. In fact, Chandler’s extensive use of imagery serves as the primary device that gives us substantial insight of his characters. A Life in Men.

DragonSlayer Diaries: January 2013

http://dragonslayerdiaries.blogspot.com/2013_01_01_archive.html

Once upon a time a woman and her daughter met a real live fire-breathing dragon. That dragon's name was cancer and that woman was me. Reader beware: Here there be dragons. Thursday, January 10, 2013. A waning crescent moon. It’s a strange, liminal place of dying and resurrection. A bit like New Year’s Eve at 11:50 pm, it’s almost over but there is time to endure. The human body is tuned into cycles of the moon. As the old moon wanes, many people experience a physical dip in energy. Hilo, Hawaii, United S...

DragonSlayer Diaries: May 2012

http://dragonslayerdiaries.blogspot.com/2012_05_01_archive.html

Once upon a time a woman and her daughter met a real live fire-breathing dragon. That dragon's name was cancer and that woman was me. Reader beware: Here there be dragons. Wednesday, May 9, 2012. We are flabbergasted by the response of the “Stronger” video. Initially, we imagined that only our close knit cancer community here at Seattle Children’s would see it. Who could have imagined over half a million hits in just a few days… and a response from Kelly Clarkson herself? After PT on Thursday, we stopped...

DragonSlayer Diaries: Selective Memory

http://dragonslayerdiaries.blogspot.com/2012/10/selective-memory.html

Once upon a time a woman and her daughter met a real live fire-breathing dragon. That dragon's name was cancer and that woman was me. Reader beware: Here there be dragons. Monday, October 8, 2012. I remember writing that my daughter was NED (no evidence of disease) and that my husband kindly, gently corrected me. The thing is, Lauren does have spots on her lungs, which is a type of evidence. So then, what is she? Some evidence of disease? I remember writing NED on this blog. I remember a feeling of e...

DragonSlayer Diaries: July 2011

http://dragonslayerdiaries.blogspot.com/2011_07_01_archive.html

Once upon a time a woman and her daughter met a real live fire-breathing dragon. That dragon's name was cancer and that woman was me. Reader beware: Here there be dragons. Wednesday, July 20, 2011. Leaping Into Thin Air. A Leap Into Thin Air. Our insurance is not wanting to cover the Seattle treatment plan, even though the tests confirm the size and extent of the tumor (! Lauren and I left Hawaii on a red-eye Monday night, despite the lack of insurance thing. The stakes are too high at this point. Today,...

http://schmann.blogspot.com/2011_07_01_archive.html

We had a time. Saturday, July 16, 2011. Sunday, July 03, 2011. I went to a Tim Minchin show a couple of weeks ago with a friend. I hadn't seen any of the comedian's stuff before the show, and was surprised to learn much of his comedy was in song. In addition to his hilarious, controversial, atheist-inspired songs, I discovered these two beautiful works of art. I CANNOT GET ENOUGH OF THEM. White Wine in the Sun. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Annotations of the writers, by the writers, for the writers…. January 6, 2015. January 7, 2015. Book by Chimananda Ngozi Adichie. Annotation by Roz Weisberg. Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie’s Americanah has an interesting quality in the way the story and the writing expand and contract within the narrative. This element in the narrative is reflected in Ifemelu’s character, who I think comes across at times detached, even passive as events and attitudes unfold around her. Noir, Dames and Real Women. Sorry, your ...
