Random Thoughts 24

Guessing the Wordle in three or fewer tries is truly a thing of beauty.

Do today's Goths identify more with Visigoths or Ostrogoths?

As I try to cut back my Facebook use, I turn to other timesucks.  Now it seems I am becoming a Pinterest addict. (I know Pinterest is out of fashion.  I have a LiveJournal account too).  I think it’s safe to say I have Pinned more recipes (especially dessert recipes) than I will ever make in my lifetime.

Yoga is the perfect form of exercise.  It’s the only workout I can do where I can do nothing at all and yet still say I am exercising.  Lie motionless on the floor? I'm exercising.  It's called the corpse pose.

Last year I was impressed with the quality of  movies coming out of Hollywood.  I was looking forward to seeing some more actual good movies this year.  What happened Hollywood?  This year I had to suffer through so many long rambling dull movies that all too often came to thoroughly unsatisfying ends.  I think the industry is now trying too hard. (Licorice Pizza WHY?)

Why do YouTubers say they are “filming” their videos.  This is the digital age.  There is no film involved here.

Yes, I do have a favorite stove burner.  It’s the right front.  However, my favorite burner for the teakettle is the left back one.

They say you know you’re getting old when you can’t find your glasses when they are on top of your head.  What does it say about me when I can’t find my glasses and they aren’t on top of my head when I swore that was the last place I put them?

The Cincinnati football team is called the Bengals.  The Detroit baseball team is the Tigers.  Should we assume in Detroit they are Siberian tigers since Cincinnati laid claim to the Bengals?

Another way to know you’re getting old:  When you start singing along to the music in the supermarket and get angry when it’s interrupted by store annouemts

How To Not Curate and Edit Your Wardrobe (and still be happy with it)

Image
Out with the old, in with the new. Wait.  That's not quite right.  Old does not have to go out if it's still useful and still looks good.  New doesn't have to take over the old.  Do I have too much old?  Did I buy too much new? I am following several fashion bloggers who talk about creating a "capsule wardrobe".  This is a wardrobe of fairly timeless pieces that best capture your style. At first I thought these sites were going to help me dress perfectly with every piece mixable and into a signature style that screams "Rachel."  No item would be superfluous and everything would work together harmoniously. I have learned in the past few weeks as I transition my wardrobe from the fall/winter closet to the spring/summer closet that trying to get yourself into this mindset can drive you crazy. It is definitely helpful to evaluate your wardrobe periodically.  Sometimes there is a reason why something has been sitting in the back of the closet...

The Lie That Will Destroy Us

Image
The United States has never been more divided. This divided country will fall apart. Are we headed for another civil war? It's hard to listen to any political commentary these days without hearing about how "divided" the country is. The United States isn't united. It's an assemblage of different groups who all have different goals and dreams and lifestyles and values. It's urban again rural, liberal against conservative, Christians against non-Christians, native-born against immigrants. The entire country is a powder keg of hate waiting to blow because nobody can agree on anything anymore. Is it really? The mass media and all the various political commentators feed us these stories about American division every day. They can't be wrong, can they? It's not as if the news outlets, owned by giant media conglomerates and run by billionaires have any stake in keeping us afraid, right? The media are all reporting the facts and there is no advantage to making...
