My ramblings and wanderings through life

  • My normal schedule has been completely turned upside down, inside out and backwards. I am not exactly sure how it happened, but upon arriving in Phuket, I have given Rip Van Winkle a run for his money! 😉 So, I have started staying up until 2am or later. Even if I go to bed at midnight, I end up reading until nearly two. Sometimes, we watch movies until late. Then, while I used…

  • _Oryx and Crake: A Novel_ by Margaret Atwood I have a read a few of Margaret Atwood’s novels and really enjoyed them, but as they are more science fiction, I do not often think to read more of her novels. During one of our BBQ parties, we were talking about the future world and overpopulation, etc. (We might be a bit nerdy… ;)) This title came up and I was curious to give…

  • We have been doing a lot of relaxing here in Phuket, so much so that I have hardly taken any pictures! (shocking, right? ;)) Despite our sleeping and chilling schedule, we have been doing quite a bit of exercise between using the gym, swimming at the pool and doing walks along the beach when the weather is reasonable. I am determined to get myself slim and trim again. The idea of having a…

  • _Heroes and Monsters:  An Honest Look at the Struggle within All of Us_ by Josh James Riebock I am not sure where I found this title. Maybe it was a recommended read from Susan Cain about an introvert. Or maybe it came from someone else that I follow on FB. Sometimes I lose track of where my thoughts, recommendations, information, etc. come from…. 😉 In any case, this was a beautifully written work.…

  • _The Time Keeper_ by Mitch Albom So, in my continued reading spree, I thought I would try Mitch Albom’s latest book or latest to my knowledge. This was really an interesting read and a bit different from his past work. The book follows the path of Dor from the past, known now as Father Time, and two people from the modern day – Sarah and Victor – both at the opposite ends of…

  • It was less than a week that my computer was gone. Part of me really missed it and part of me did not miss it at all – I did have my iPad mini, after all! 😉 The source of the problem is unclear, but it seems that it was more of a software issue than a hardware one as originally thought. Thankfully, this also saved me some cash. The man who worked…

  • _Inferno_ by Dan Brown It may be wrong to admit that I have read all of Dan Brown’s books and enjoyed them immensely. Although I am not alone in admitting to liking his work, I do wonder if he has been more lucky then talented. Even still, I think his writing has improved and so I was pleased to read this new novel. Of course, I might be a little bit biased as…

  • It has now been almost four months that I have been consistently taking the Cipralex and it was not until I made my trip home that I realized just how much it is working for me. Honestly, I had contemplated going off of it in a few months, but upon reflection I am not sure. Maybe going a full year and continuing to reflect on my life will be better so that I…

  • _The Round House_ by Louise Erdrich Back in my literature major days, I was introduced to the name of Louise Erdrich as a prominent and talented Native American writer. In those days I was not interested in contemporary or modern fiction and was not really sure that I cared to read about Native American culture, even though I have always held a fascination with their history. So, when I was trying to prepare…
