The Shield of Glass: January 2009
http://shieldofglass.blogspot.com/2009_01_01_archive.html
The Shield of Glass. Monday, January 26, 2009. A step in the right direction! Before we get to the main dish of this evening, I think it’s appropriate that we treat ourselves to an historical appetizer so that we may better enjoy the subtle flavours and discrepancies of the following courses. Canada as been, since 1760, although it was not called that at the time, under British Rule. Even though we brought back our constitution from England in 1982 after the Canadian Act. The Shield of Glass. I first sta...

4.5 Billion Years of Wonder: Don't you have something better to do with your time?
http://geo-geek.blogspot.com/2013/01/dont-you-have-something-better-to-do.html
45 Billion Years of Wonder. In which Rachael Acks talks about whatever the hell she wants. Thursday, January 24, 2013. Don't you have something better to do with your time? Look, this isn't hard. I saw something that bugged me. You don't have to agree with me that it's a problem. In fact, it's totally fine if you don't. We're all along the spectrum of human experience and I am comfortable with the fact that we're on different wavelengths. And then sure. Go wild. Want to sound like a dismissive asshole, h...

4.5 Billion Years of Wonder: Good Boy
http://geo-geek.blogspot.com/2013/01/good-boy.html
45 Billion Years of Wonder. In which Rachael Acks talks about whatever the hell she wants. Tuesday, January 22, 2013. Yesterday my mom had her second dog, Willis, put to sleep. On January 8th, she had to let the first dog, Maxine go. They were both 14 years old. Maxine and Willis were littermates. Anyone who has ever lost a pet knows how tough this is. They give us so much love and don't really ask for much in return. Simple, wonderful words for simple, wonderful little beings. This blog has moved! Form ...

4.5 Billion Years of Wonder: Sigh.
http://geo-geek.blogspot.com/2013/01/sigh.html
45 Billion Years of Wonder. In which Rachael Acks talks about whatever the hell she wants. Tuesday, January 15, 2013. Rescued my SFWA Bulletin from the mail today. And. sigh. We're apparently celebrating the 200th issue with a muscular barbarian babe in a chainmail bikini with red poofy 80s hair. I know we should celebrate our pulpy genre roots and take glee in them, and I try people, I really try. And the cover is always a fantasy/scifi thing, which I've always liked. But this? This blog has moved!

45 Billion Years of Wonder. In which Rachael Acks talks about whatever the hell she wants. Friday, January 04, 2013. A Return to Weightlifting. I used to lift a lot in high school, which is (funny story) how I ended up destroying my right hip and knee. And then later gave myself rotator cuff tendonitis, because I actually really love. Weightlifting and have a tendency to overtrain if I'm not careful. Cat not included.). Good technique is everything. The site I linked to has videos for each exercise, whic...

Okay, I'm getting the hang of this wordpress thing, so let's give it a shot. The new blog can be found on my domain. I need a better template, but it'll do for now I think. I'll be leaving these posts up for a little while, but I guess I should probably delete this mess eventually. (Should I? Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). This blog has moved! Jim c hines...

http://geo-geek.blogspot.com/2013/01/django-unchained_8.html
45 Billion Years of Wonder. In which Rachael Acks talks about whatever the hell she wants. Tuesday, January 08, 2013. I can't think of the last time I saw a move with this much controversy around it, which ranges from. Of the movie making light of the horrors of slavery to conservatives predictably. Freaking the fuck out. Complaining about the use of the N-word. How damn meta the film is. Very interesting indeed, which goes right along with a lot of what. Now, beyond the socio-political tangle of. As wel...

4.5 Billion Years of Wonder: Sandy Hook "Truthers"
http://geo-geek.blogspot.com/2013/01/sandy-hook-truthers.html
45 Billion Years of Wonder. In which Rachael Acks talks about whatever the hell she wants. Thursday, January 10, 2013. So yeah. This is apparently an actual thing. ETA: Oh here. Have some more WTF IS WRONG WITH PEOPLE. I need a kitty right fucking now okay. I need a kitten or I'm going to have an aneurysm, I swear to fucking god. I think what just pisses me off the most about this is that the entire justification for this conspiracy theory is that the government is going to take all our guns away. With o...
