 Song mood: Need You Tonight by INXS.

So I gave myself a haircut. Not my best, but it’ll do. I just take a beard trimmer and shave the sides and back. I may have botched up the back. Though my top hair will cover most of my mistakes. Another reason why I need a wife. I haven’t decided if I was going to grow out my hair so I could look like Professor Snape or not. So I shave off my sides while I decide what to do with my hair.


Last night my Costco life started. So I’m doing bit both Costco and the other places. I don’t have much refrigerator and freezer space, so I just pick and choose what I buy bulk. If I had a wife or live in girlfriend, then I would be thinking of stuff that I can cook for Friday nights. It would be cheaper than going out, healthier and most likely just as tasty. Which reminds me, at some point I will need to get Jack Pepin’s cooking basics again. It’s a DVD collection where he goes through the basics of cooking or French cooking.

Anyway. I was thrilled to get a box of 120 k-cups of Kirkland brand medium roast coffee for $28. I was even more pleased this morning to discover that it didn’t taste bad at all.


Now I’m thinking of learning how to apply clown make-up for videos. And then I make videos even more interesting with different characters. Put up a black sheet over the window for background. Put on clown make-up and dress up in vests and coats and all of a sudden I have this new character.

I’m really getting into this one app. For once my creativity is beginning to move. And soon I will be writing stories and whatnot. It will be fun.


I am looking forward to meeting with the writer’s group again this Saturday. Pizza and beer with friends will be fun.


Broke down and bought another Tai Chi online course. Mainly, I just wanted a deeper look into the 8 form Tai Chi. It is a form that I can do in my room. Ergo, I can continue to practice Tai Chi in the winter months. I will continue to use the other course for an in depth look at Tai Chi. In a month or two, I will have a way set for practice that will somewhat resemble what my karate practice was. In time I would be able to give lessons.


At the moment, that is me. Tai Chi exercises, writing and planning out what I do next.

Song mood: Mysterious Ways by U2. Currently I’m listening to The Ruin by Dervla McTiernan.  I’ve listened to a couple of novellas that she wrote where her detective Cormac Reilly briefly shows up in and liked them.  This is the first book with her star detective.  Between McTiernan and Trevor on who writes better suspense, I would say hands down McTiernan.   A person who writes mysteries as a genre follow a set of conventions so that the reader isn’t in a state of confusion.  One great example is putting dates before each section or series of sections.  Literary writers don’t follow conventions and the confusion at times come from the writing.  Where I say, let the characters mislead the reader not the writing itself. I am enjoying The Ruin .  It’s nice to get back to a solid mystery. I continue to walk at the lake.  Although, it’s a modified path where I get around 2.5 miles instead 4 miles.  I still need to figure out what to do for exercise in the winter.  I want to get a rowing m

Anticipated Books of 2021

For me, the two most anticipated books are both by Silvia Moreno-Garcia.  The first one is Certain Dark Things to be released 7 September and the second is Velvet is the Night to be released 17 August.  Both are after my birthday so they can’t be my birthday book.  Which is too bad.  Garcia proved she could very write well with Mexican Gothic .  I’m inclined to believe she is the best writer out there. Currently I’m listening to Untamed Shores , Garcia’s thriller that was released last year.  It is similar to Mexican Gothic except without the elements of horror. Speaking of the birthday book, I finally chose the one.  And this time there will be no hiccups.  This year’s birthday book will be: The Album of Dr. Moreau by Daryl Gregory.  The book is set to be released on 18 May.  Three months before my birthday and if the book is to be pushed out, I think it would about a month or so.  It’s a murder mystery that involves a boy band formed by the animal people from The Island of Doctor
