Spiral Galaxy Musings: Moondoggle
http://spiralgalaxyreviews.blogspot.com/2012/09/moondoggle.html
Science Fiction, Fantasy, Contemporary Fiction, and Non-Fiction. Tuesday, September 18, 2012. Alexis Madrigal has an interesting article out: " Moondoogle: The Forgotten Opposition to the Apollo Program. In it he points out that support for the Apollo mission never approached 50% while it was active. As one historian put it:. So it was really a bit stunning to me to realize that the Apollo programs suffered any number of hostile OpEd pieces, angry Letters to the Editor, and accusations from scientists an...

Spiral Galaxy Musings: The Sparrow by Mary Doria Russell
http://spiralgalaxyreviews.blogspot.com/2012/05/sparrow-by-mary-doria-russell.html
Science Fiction, Fantasy, Contemporary Fiction, and Non-Fiction. Wednesday, May 16, 2012. The Sparrow by Mary Doria Russell. Must be the single most tragic science fiction story I’ve ever read. It compares to the most tragic stories I’ve ever read, full stop, except that non-fiction must trump fiction when it comes to tragedy. The Sparrow. Won the Clarke award back in 1998, so I feel like sufficient time has passed when it comes to spoilers. However, if needed: HERE THERE BE SPOILERS. I especially apprec...

Spiral Galaxy Musings: End of the Year
http://spiralgalaxyreviews.blogspot.com/2011/12/end-of-year.html
Science Fiction, Fantasy, Contemporary Fiction, and Non-Fiction. Friday, December 30, 2011. End of the Year. Here's some capsule thoughts on books I've read since little Gadget was born, on August 30th. By Kathleen Anne Goonan. I had previously bounced off Goonan's work with the Queen City Jazz. But the jazz lost me and I didn't find the super-physics convincing. I had planned to read this preparatory to This Shared Dream. But I think I'll let that slide. The Three Stigmata of Palmer Eldritch. Reality, w...

Kethry's Garden: February 2010
http://kethrysgarden.blogspot.com/2010_02_01_archive.html
Saturday, February 27, 2010. Reflections in the moonlight. I stood waiting for puppy to do his business. (I'll be so glad when we don't have to go outside with him.) And with nothing better to do, I looked up at the sky. And I thought about how long it had been since I had blogged. Or even checked on my friends' blogs. And I miss writing. I'm not that good a writer, but it's so nice to get things out. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile. Reflections in the moonlight. My Favorite of My Own.

Kethry's Garden: July 2010
http://kethrysgarden.blogspot.com/2010_07_01_archive.html
Wednesday, July 21, 2010. More than seven months. Why should it take so long to accept my facebook friend request? I'm so far past wanting him as my friend. But I'm afraid that if I delete him, I'll get stupid again and wonder how he's doing. No, I'd prolly not get that stupid again. But seriously, seven months? What is up with that? Friday, July 16, 2010. I have a story for you. I guess I just need to tell the story, because if I bring up this guy to my mom, she'll tell me that I need to go out with him...

Kethry's Garden: October 2010
http://kethrysgarden.blogspot.com/2010_10_01_archive.html
Sunday, October 3, 2010. I love General Conference. I love being able to sit and listen to prophets and apostles. I also really like how there sometimes seems to be a theme during conference. I know that the speakers are not assigned topics, they get to choose what they speak on. But it seems as if the Lord has a definite plan for what He wants us to hear. It was a good weekend.

Kethry's Garden: February 2011
http://kethrysgarden.blogspot.com/2011_02_01_archive.html
Wednesday, February 2, 2011. I have been going through some old computer files lately. One folder was full of emails and im conversations that i had with one particular guy. And reading those files, those words that I wrote made me sorry and sad. Because it was part of a relationship that went nowhere, with a guy who I allowed to keep hurting me over and over. But he listens to me when I'm upset. He will change his plans, sacrifice his needs for mine. He is just the best guy i've ever known.

Kethry's Garden: Early morning rambles.....
http://kethrysgarden.blogspot.com/2010/12/early-morning-rambles.html
Sunday, December 12, 2010. Good morning, internets. I didn't sleep much tonight. My head is full of weirdness. I finally decided to get out of bed at 5am and have something to eat. And maybe I can vent some of this whatever and go to sleep. I was watching tv last night, and Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom was on. I just cannot watch that movie any more. I much prefer the LEGO video game version of it. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile. My Favorite of My Own. C jane enjoy it.

Kethry's Garden: April 2010
http://kethrysgarden.blogspot.com/2010_04_01_archive.html
Sunday, April 18, 2010. So I am thinking about going shopping. I'm getting a rather sizable tax refund this year, so I have been having the most fun thinking about what all I could get. I could put it all into getting my car all fixed. I could actually get the a/c fixed. I mean, it's been a couple few years since it worked, and now that my sister's kids ride in my car, I feel bad for them. New skirts and clothes for church. New clothes for work (if I ever get a job again). LEGO Indiana Jones 2. There's t...
