With My Dogs By My Side: November 2012
http://briannel.blogspot.com/2012_11_01_archive.html
Monday, November 19, 2012. The weather on Friday morning. Damp, dewy, cool. Still adjusting to the manicure. (Even today, I'm still adjusting to texting with it.). Intimidated. (If you're wondering, the final tally was $70. You'll see the results shortly.). We went to a second Trader Joe's for for variety, and then Meijer for good measure. The flowers waited in the car while we stopped for breakfast at Hardee's/. My assistant florist had a lot of input about what flowers worked together. Even I was clear...

Tales of an intrepid pantster: Review: Journey to the Center of the Earth by Jules Verne
http://alicethewriter.blogspot.com/2014/10/review-journey-to-center-of-earth-by.html
Tales of an intrepid pantster. I'm making this up as I go along. What to Expect from this Blog. Wednesday, October 15, 2014. Review: Journey to the Center of the Earth by Jules Verne. Journey to the Center of the Earth: A Signature Performance by Tim Curry. My rating: 4 of 5 stars. If it hadn't been Tim Curry reading this to me, I wouldn't have soldiered through it. He adds a much-needed spark to the story. His narration is dynamic, and was often the only reason I kept listening. It was nice ...Rose-Owls...

Tales of an intrepid pantster: Review: A Local Habitation
http://alicethewriter.blogspot.com/2011/12/review-local-habitation.html
Tales of an intrepid pantster. I'm making this up as I go along. What to Expect from this Blog. Saturday, December 3, 2011. Review: A Local Habitation. My rating: 4 of 5 stars. This is the second in a series that will, hopefully, go for a really long time. I read the first standing in lines at Dragon*Con, which should give you a good enough idea of how riveting it was. This one matches, then outpaces it, for sheer sucking-the-reader-in. Not enough to keep me from reading, clearly. View all my reviews.

Tales of an intrepid pantster: Review: The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle by Haruki Murakami
http://alicethewriter.blogspot.com/2014/09/review-wind-up-bird-chronicle-by-haruki.html
Tales of an intrepid pantster. I'm making this up as I go along. What to Expect from this Blog. Saturday, September 13, 2014. Review: The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle by Haruki Murakami. The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle. My rating: 5 of 5 stars. This is the ninth book in my 2014 TBR Challenge. My sister gave it to me as a Christmas present years ago, but I set it aside for a time when I could get over the intimidation factor. Interestingly, I would not have appreciated it the way I do if I'd read it right away.

Tales of an intrepid pantster: Review: The Masqueraders by Georgette Heyer
http://alicethewriter.blogspot.com/2014/11/review-masqueraders-by-georgette-heyer.html
Tales of an intrepid pantster. I'm making this up as I go along. What to Expect from this Blog. Monday, November 3, 2014. Review: The Masqueraders by Georgette Heyer. My rating: 4 of 5 stars. The strength of the story lies in its characters. Prudence and Robin and their father are all rogues to their core, and it's impossible not to root for them. Prudence lives up to her name, though her loyalty to her brother holds her to her role. As little respect as the siblings have for their father, it...The love ...

The LOL Hotel: May 2012
http://thelolhotel.blogspot.com/2012_05_01_archive.html
Weird things happen when you work at a hotel. Wednesday, May 30, 2012. We had two check-ins left tonight when I got here, and both had the same last name. It's about 15 minutes into the shift when a fella comes in to check in the first. He gives his last name, so I ask him if he was Jim or Zachary, and he says:. Jim Zachary was a mistake. Well. um. Zachary wasn't a MISTAKE. but he isn't coming tonight.". Glad to know Zachary was well-planned-for. :p. Friday, May 18, 2012. They let the deer drive. I stutt...

The LOL Hotel: Night Auditor Enlightenment
http://thelolhotel.blogspot.com/2013/02/night-auditor-enlightenment.html
Weird things happen when you work at a hotel. Friday, February 22, 2013. My friends, it is time for me to move on. For a number of reasons, including a baby who is coming soon, a job in something I would like to make longterm, and just generally needing to move away from the hotels, this shall be my last post. A chapter is closed. On that note - I would like to share the things I have learned in my two and a half years as an auditor. You have reached Night Auditor Enlightenment. The presentation of an AA...

Monday, February 11, 2013. BECAUSE MY GALLBLADDER IS A DOUCHEBAG AND DECIDED A YEAR AGO. TO STOP PERFORMING ITS DESIGNATED FU NCTION , I AM HAVING IT CUT OUT TOMORROW. See you on the other side of anesthesia-land. Wednesday, February 6, 2013. THINGS THAT MAKE ME GO LIKE BITCH WHATEVER. People who tell me that I need to be more ladylike and swear less. People who tell me I am too old to not be married yet. When tannies and oumas (usually not mine) ask me when The Boyfriend and I are getting married. Lack ...
