The Golden Orb: March 2010

http://thegoldenorb.blogspot.com/2010_03_01_archive.html

Saturday, March 27, 2010. These I Have Loved. Here's a poem from high school. I'm thinking about writing an update or an addendum. Because that last line stands out to me like a challenge - my younger self of ten years ago asking me what has changed about my loves. Here's a challenge for you, gentle reader: what are your loves? If you like, go write a similar poem on your blog! These I have loved:. Cloudless skies, brightly beaming; red rocks. Jutting up out of glittering blue water;. Exhilarating accept...

The Padawan Pause: November 2012

http://padawanpause.blogspot.com/2012_11_01_archive.html

Tuesday, November 13, 2012. Starting with a whimper, not with a bang. Since the announcement that Disney was going to buy Lucasfilm, Ltd., and all of the Star Wars. Movies, characters and other assorted ephemera contained within, I've been pretty upbeat about the future of the franchise. Here, at last, was the possibility of new (and canonical) Star Wars. Fan in me who went dormant between films need never die — starting now, there will always be a Star Wars. As long as there's an audience. But I'm famil...

The Golden Orb: October 2010

http://thegoldenorb.blogspot.com/2010_10_01_archive.html

Wednesday, October 27, 2010. Then Max sat down and got a ponderous look on his young face. "It's funny," he said, "People have a baby and it's either the beginning of their life or the end of their life.". You know, it's either the beginning of their life or the end of their life.". Either I wasn't sure what he was getting at or Max was becoming a philosopher rather early. "Max, I don't understand, what do you mean? Oh, I see, they were pretty old, weren't they?

The Golden Orb: Dublin Encounters: Episode 1

http://thegoldenorb.blogspot.com/2012/12/dublin-encounters-episode-1.html

Monday, December 3, 2012. Dublin Encounters: Episode 1. As an American pedestrian in Ireland, I never could remember which way to look for traffic. If I was a passenger in a car, I didn't have any trouble remembering which side of the road I was on and where oncoming traffic would be. But put me on my feet, and it was, "Why is there suddenly a car right where I'm about to walk? Posted by Carrie Nation. A wonderful memory and a lovely bit of writing. December 3, 2012 at 11:50 AM.

The Padawan Pause: April 2014

http://padawanpause.blogspot.com/2014_04_01_archive.html

Tuesday, April 29, 2014. An unexpected turn of events. I had intended this post to be about the unexpected resurgence of my interest in Star Wars. It was supposed to be about how the simple announcement about the EU being jettisoned had rekindled my enthusiasm for the Saga. I was even going to talk about how I, after a long-time and publically-documented indifference to the EU, was considering reading some of the "new canon" books, and was even eager to do so. I'm very happy about the new names that I do.

The Padawan Pause: July 2013

http://padawanpause.blogspot.com/2013_07_01_archive.html

Sunday, July 28, 2013. A matter of time. This will be an uncharacteristically brief post, and composed on my iPad at that. I have noticed that all of spring, and mot of summer have fallen away without me adding to this blog. And while I have a fair amount to discuss and report, I have little time at present.

The Padawan Pause: April 2012

http://padawanpause.blogspot.com/2012_04_01_archive.html

Sunday, April 15, 2012. Me and my House. If there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things. Okay, it's a stretch, but it's one of my favorite verses, so I went with it. Shoot me. Game and tinkering around on the newly-opened Pottermore. Site It is about the latter that I wish to opine. There's been a lot of griping — a bit of it even from me — about the inordinate amount of time it's taken for Pottermore. I had always sort of liked Gryffindor, but was often embarrassed to say so&#...

The Padawan Pause: February 2013

http://padawanpause.blogspot.com/2013_02_01_archive.html

Thursday, February 28, 2013. I never thought it would come to this; I may be going into Facebook withdrawal. It's only been 24 hours since I made my decision to abstain from Facebook, and here I am, actually wishing I could go check my news feed. I'm actually missing be able to check on people. Hearing about how (INSERT POLITICIAN HERE) is the anti-Christ? Am I tempted to break my Lenten resolution? Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Stumbling my way between assorted fandoms since 1962.
