Rated: 13+ · Book · Personal · #1311011
A terminal for all blogs coming in or going out. A view into my life.
Started July 1st 2019 for contests, etc. as other blogs are filling up and have other purposes.

Ferry boat between Solvorn and Ornes across the Lustrafjord i Sogn og Fjordane.




I'm starting a new blog because
BOOK
L'aura del Campo  (13+)
Online journal capturing the moment and the memory of moments. A meadow meditation.
#982524 by Kåre Enga in Montana
had over 1,200 entries and that was getting close to full. I don't want to trim it by deletion. I did that once, much to my dismay. Will be used more for poetry.

BOOK
Hoarfrosts from Hell  (GC)
Anything I'm not happy about or that I don't want in my main blog!
#997339 by Kåre Enga in Montana
is still hidden from the public and will remain so. It's more personal and full of angst. Was used for 30DBC for May 2020 and now used for Blogville.

BOOK
Enga mellom fjella  (13+)
Enga mellom fjella: where from across the meadow, poems sing from mountains and molehills.
#1317094 by Kåre Enga in Montana
was full... until the number of entries was increased. A mixed blog, mostly stories.

I'll be linking to
BOOK
On The Write Path  (13+)

as I need to post there about my travels.

 
BOOK
O Pinions!  (XGC)
May my opinions gather wind under their wings and fly, perchance to soar.
#1501776 by Kåre Enga in Montana
is for my opinions. *Laugh*

BOOK
Nurture your Nature  (13+)
Look around. Let Nature nurture your Soul. I record images I sense and share them here.
#1439094 by Kåre Enga in Montana
was set up for nature observations and musings.

 
BOOK
Watt's Gnus  (18+)
On topics and today's gnus. Definitely opinionated. Set to 18+ for a reason.
#1439092 by Kåre Enga in Montana
come out of a need to share interesting stuff I come across. When I was young I did a small newsletter named as such. (or was it column in the newsletter? Been 30 years... I think.)

 
FOLDER
Flash Fiction  (GC)
Short 300 word, more or less, "stories" .
#2190336 by Kåre Enga in Montana
is where I put my flash fictions. Maybe someday I'll figure it out and have enough good ones to publish. Ratings vary and some are hidden from view.

I've started an appendix (I no longer have one personally) to keep track of my Space Cadet journals for Space Blog. It's a work constantly under construction. Mind the mess.
STATIC
Space Cadet - the never ending journal  (18+)
Journeys of an Alien Space crew.
#2226611 by Kåre Enga in Montana


I needed to start a folder for contests as there are so many deadlines and details to remember.
 
FOLDER
Conquest ... to keep track of contests  (18+)
A place to keep track of in progress works and up-coming deadlines as well as any awards.
#2233119 by Kåre Enga in Montana
(also very messy!) *Shock2*

#2253938 by Kåre Enga in Montana
is for posting personal blog entries in hope that folks will comment and post their blog entries there as well. I will be commenting on all blog entries posted. It's my effort to rebuild a blogging community.

BOOK

Twelfth of Never week of the Nu Year? Is that the year after Mu?

Is next year Xi or do we skip it and go straight to Omicron? Or are we already in the Year of Omicron?

Nightmares last night. Not a good sign.

11 and time to shower and leave and go to lunch. Today is Meatloaf Monday.

Had my sliced of loaf-of-meat and mashed potatoes for $5 at the Senior Center. Bought a sourdough baguette for $4 at Le Petit.

A couple of downpours... I mean... real rain! This is a rare event here in the Land of Drizzle. Remaining cool. Except inside on the 3rd floor with south facing windows.

Any other snews?

To Kathlene Kelly re Native American trauma: For me... obviously not this generational trauma... it's I can't heal from past traumas while you're bashing and bruising me in the present. "Don't Say Gay" reminds me of how unworthy I am to some people (especially those in control with power and guns).

To Linda E re Heard v Depp: Just think of how much time and money was wasted in this pissing contest. Like... they couldn't just sit down at the kitchen table with their lawyers and work it out? It also belittles the court system."

Maybe I'm ambivert. As I told QotD: "Both. I'm feline. I want to be petted... thank-you... now leave me alone.

I crave connections and covid disconnected me. Bad, bad, bad.

I NEED socialization (needed it yesterday) but too much = too much.

I write from random thoughts and observations. Quiet is helpful after the storm (no matter how lovely and invigorating).

Beautiful warm day.

I do wish I were accomplishing more. Washing the dishes and taking out the garbage counts for something...

I'm wearing a light-dusty-orange shirt today with light-grey vest and medium grey pants. I try to mix it up. It's time to raid the closet and wear all my short sleeve shirts at least once this summer. That way they will also get washed at least once!

$4.79/gal for gasoline.

Dark. Overslept until after 10. Now I yawn and wait for the water to heat up for coffee. Today is grocery day. 14°C here. Will reach 41°C in Evora later this week.

Over-bought perishables. *Worry* Bought two types of mustard (honey, sweet-spicy) to put on the shelf. Only bought 6 eggs are eggs are expensive. Spent $20... which is about right.

Sat with Laxmi. Played bridge with Dalton, Lane, Bob.

Up at 9. Coffee. Banana with peanut butter. *Yawn*

Rep. Ted Lieu (CA): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_pYQXewUxNU

Sat with Billie Jo and Angie. Ate mustard-pork sandwiches.

Chilling before tonight's presentation on the White Christian Nationalist Insurrection of 2020.

Woozy and fuzzy = not a good combination. *Worry*

Watched "Trump's Insurrection", part 1 on ABC.

*Grass* 10 *Rain*

Signed up for Bard's Hall. *Plane* *Trainb*

Up 8ish... dark and wet. All day... Gonna flood next week.

Stew for lunch. Sat with Monte, Bill, Bob. Chat with Laxmi before she goes on her trip.

*Grass* 11 *Rain*

Still trying to figure out a trip to Thailand.

To bed at 2 a.m. Up at 09:30. Off to market soon. I'll wear green. I'll get wet.

Bought a Middle-East pastry and bread. Both had coconut. Went to post office. No lottery winnings, but my bank account is in great condition. My only complaint? How to spend it wisely and get out of town a.s.a.p.

Not getting much done at Butterfly Herbs. Time to head home while there's some sunshine.

$4.89/gallon of gasoline.

Very quiet. Too quiet.

Nap... then nothing. I'm not doing well. *Worry*

*Grass* 12 *Rain*

I really don't think I've ever seen Montana this green. Very wet and cool spring makes it so.

I found another Thai BL that will punch me in the gut. "The Miracle of Teddy Bear" is a 'lakorn' = 'TV soap opera' of 16 parts, each 90 minutes long. That's 24 hours of viewing... like watching a movie every week for 16 weeks. Ouch. It does NOT have a "happy sappy" ending. But...

Also, a how-to-Thai: https://www.youtube.com/watchv=uiZOVZs2v74&list=RDCMUCVEgdOtNrzgI7Tv-dyPdjRw

Up around 08:30. It's now 10 and although no rain it will start up again this afternoon. There's an 'atmospheric river' passing overhead.

Lethargic.

Forgot it was Sunday. Didn't do wash.

But finished Bard#1: "🇵🇹 Vomiting in Brazilian (Évora, Portugal)
