20+ km walk
Nate and I decided to do a (minimum) 20 km walk this year. Last year I did a walk/run down Yonge Street from Finch to Bloor, which was 12.6 km. This year’s walk (this past Saturday) was nearly double last year’s. We started our walk at Church St. and Weston Rd., then followed the discovery…

The Next Six, Seven, or Eight…
I recently finished reading You Suck by Christopher Moore and A Wizard of Earthsea by Ursula LeGuin. You Suck was quite amusing, brilliantly written, and the ending… hm… well, it ended the only way it could end, really. A Wizard of Earthsea is wonderfully written and I see why the Earthsea books are famous novels.…

One down, many more to go…
Yay! I finished reading book seven of The Wheel of Time. I had read half of the book, then put it down for awhile. I decided to go back to it the past two weeks and finish it. I don’t think I’m starting book eight, The Path of Daggers, just yet as I might read…

Christian Astrology by William Lilly
Well, as you can see from my last post, I delved into astrology again. I was looking at transits to my natal horoscope and trying to determine what factors were relevant to my chart. I’m hoping the effects of some the recent transits to my horoscope are dwindling away. I still feel somewhat hermit-y, but…

Pluto square natal Pluto and the Neptune-Pluto sextile
Note for the beginner astrologer, you may need to read up on transits first and review how to interpret your natal horoscope to understand this blog entry. Pluto square natal Pluto occurs earlier than many astrologers thought it would. In some of the older astrological texts, it is written that Pluto won’t square your natal…

Cleaning house and website update
Where did a month go? It seems like time passes by too fast. I spent the past month, first just reading a bit of The Wheel of Time because I didn’t feel like doing much since my kitty passed on, then I started cleaning up my whole place. I had a pile of stuff in…

A Timeout
This past month has been a tad busy for me and also a little trying. I didn’t get as much done as I would have liked to. This past weekend, my 9-year-old cat passed on. We found out back in March this year that she had cancer and that it would only be a matter…

French, Dutch, Cantonese, other languages (oh my!)
Yes, I know it has been awhile since I wrote on this blog. I have been in study mode for a while now. Last month, I mentioned that I was studying Dutch. While studying Dutch, I decided that it might help me to review French and compare French grammar to English and Dutch. I don’t…

Timeout – Novels, Human Rights, Languages
I finished Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell and Parable of the Sower last month sometime. Both are excellent reads depending on your mood. Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell is light-hearted while Parable of the Sower is fairly dark, though probably not as dark as Titus Groan. The ending of Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell might…
