Samsara: Hodophobia
http://stargazerleo-samsara.blogspot.com/2010/02/hodophobia.html
Tuesday, February 9, 2010. On the eve of the second major snowfall in less than a week, I thought I'd write a little about the hodophobia I apparently suffer from. My daughter diagnosed me at the dinner table a couple of weeks ago when I cancelled plans, due to the snow, disappointing myself and others. Here are the 9 symptoms of hodophobia taken from wrongdiagnosis.com. Irrational fear of travel. Extreme avoidance measures taken. Do I take 'extreme avoidance measures'? Post traumatic stress disorder?

Samsara: September 2008
http://stargazerleo-samsara.blogspot.com/2008_09_01_archive.html
Wednesday, September 17, 2008. I'm getting this in just under the wire. Since this was one of the busiest summers I can remember, I wanted to take a moment and try to sum it up for myself (reflect, ponder - it's one of my favorite pastimes). It began in June with my trip to Orcas Island. Which I'm sure played a part in the progression of my life since then. Chrys and I took a mid-week trip on the ferry to Vancouver Island and bussed it to Victoria. This last one is part of the "Dark Collaboration" betwee...

Samsara: My summer vacation will be spent in my bathroom
http://stargazerleo-samsara.blogspot.com/2010/03/my-summer-vacation-will-be-spent-in-my.html
Saturday, March 6, 2010. My summer vacation will be spent in my bathroom. I am so eager to move on and make a home of my very own, for the very first time in my life. Now that it is within reasonable reach, I do know I will feel sad upon leaving this house because of the memories it holds. I hope that sadness is tempered by the excitement of something new.

Samsara: Samsara
http://stargazerleo-samsara.blogspot.com/2010/02/samsara.html
Saturday, February 6, 2010. The name of this blog comes from The Tea Party. Song by the same name. I love this song. And this (unfortunately, defunct) band. Here are the lyrics:. Please would you tell me my friend. Which direction is the way. Because I'm lost, I'm confused. This reality we choose. Is a long, long way from the dream. All you'll feel is pain and suffering. Yes but i've heard that before. From those teachers of dreams. But it's old and it's cold. I just can't feel it in my soul. View my com...

Samsara: May 2009
http://stargazerleo-samsara.blogspot.com/2009_05_01_archive.html
Sunday, May 17, 2009. I've blogged about this museum before. But felt compelled to do it again, as this year's trip and exhibit proved just as interesting and inspiring as the last. This place is on my list of neverending things to do and places to visit and when I had my choice of mother's day activities, rather than deal with Philly crowds and traffic, I chose to go here. The current exhibit, which ends today actually is Elegant Enigmas: The Art of Edward Gorey. And The Fantod Pack. Of NC Wyeth's house...

Samsara: Catching Up
http://stargazerleo-samsara.blogspot.com/2011/01/catching-up.html
Sunday, January 2, 2011. EvelynEvelyn, Amanda Palmer and Jason Webley at the TLA June 18, 2010. EvelynEvelyn is the brainchild of Amanda Palmer (The Dresden Dolls) and Jason Webley. Everything from songwriting to costume to artwork was the result of a zany creative process, and came together for a wonderful production. Amanda and Jason each performed their own sets as well, before the whole cast reassembled onstage for a rousing sing-along finale. Http:/ www.evelynevelyn.com/. View my complete profile.

Sunday, September 27, 2009. Soulsavers featuring Mark Lanegan. This blog has been sitting in drafts for over 3 months.

Samsara: October 2008
http://stargazerleo-samsara.blogspot.com/2008_10_01_archive.html
Thursday, October 2, 2008. Get Off My Lawn! You broke my tree! Yes I'm so couth). Of course at this, the kids who are really young men start running. My own girls are hiding just in case it gets out that they live here and it's their mom who is the crazy woman. The next morning I notice that the branch was conveniently bent back onto my lawn instead of over the sidewalk, however still attached to the tree. I appreciate. I know the kids were being just that, so I can summon up a modicum of understanding.
