Adventures of a well-rounded geek
Yesterday morning I met up with Brittany at Parker's farmers' market. My purpose was two-fold: get myself some bread and pickled dilly beans and hang out with Brittany. I emailed The Bread Box a month or so ago and asked about their vegan options and when they responded with the long list of delicious sounding…
Tuesday evening, Elisabeth and I "hung out" with my family for an hour. We all did our own thing while visiting and just being around each other. It was, of course, very lovely. Kaitlin has picked up water color painting and from what I could see in the tiny screen of my laptop, she's a…
Yesterday started with watching Jojo Rabbit with Elisabeth. Taika Waititi wrote the screenplay and directed the movie so I had to watch it as I quite enjoy this man's work. This movie was no exception. The only thing I knew going into the movie was that this little boy had Adolf Hitler as his imaginary…
Yesterday, Elisabeth and I went to the movies, this time to watch the new Charlie's Angels movie. Another movie with multiple badass women. Heck yes. I've read that movies who have women as lead roles make more money than movies who have men as lead roles. And yet we still seem to have more movies…
I had my first ever ultrasound this morning. There are pictures out in the world somewhere of my spleen and kidneys now. I kind of like the thought of that. I should learn about what they look like at my doctor's appointment on Monday. I imagine they'll be in top shape. The whole thing was…
Yesterday I started my morning with kix cereal, orange juice, and the Hygge book Kaitlin let me borrow. I sat out on the balcony while the air was still cool and I flipped through the book, marking which challenges I wanted to try. I made my list and have added a page to this blog…
What a great day I had on Monday. I got my hair cut at a salon in the Stanley Marketplace, which meant that I stopped by Glazed and Confused donuts on the way out. I got their Samoan donut. Honestly, I don't think they have the best donuts in Denver. They're a little dry and…
Flowers at the Mexican restaurant Food and gardening filled my day yesterday. But what's new there? I went to lunch with some of my comic book ladies, Elisabeth included. It was Free Comic Book Day so we had to get together to show off new comics. I didn't get any comics for myself this year…
Yesterday evening I went to my comic meetup where we discussed Animosity, a comic about animals suddenly gaining consciousness. I liked the story previously but the discussion was so deep and enjoyable that it made me appreciate the comic even more. The author and artist of this comic do great jobs at conveying an entire…
Picking up trash, meeting new people, and spending time with my family meant that my Sunday was full of awesomeness. I joined a new meetup group recently - Denver Cleanup Club - and Sunday was our first meetup. We met at a nearby park and walked around for 45 minutes picking up trash. I really…
