And why is there a picture of the Tardis on the header?
Welcome to Agul Siento…translated as “Blue Heaven” and was a place of import in Stephen King’s Dark Tower opus. I am creating this space as a place to brainstorm, rant, be inspired, and hopefully inspire..this will be a place for ideas, recipes, pictures, stories, reviews…and whatever the frell else I can do with this thing.
I was trying to find the quintessential “ME” when I was attempting to create a clever and memorable title and theme for this silly blog, and I discovered that really, I geek out on SO MANY THINGS, it was difficult to pick just one. So, I settled on the fandom that I have loved the longest, SK’s crazy-ass story of Roland, Jake, Oy, the beams, the Tower, and Ka would be the inspiration for the title of this, but not the only influence on my ramblings.
I am a teacher-turned-district lackey living in the ‘burbs south of Denver, Colorado. I have 2 human children, 2 furbabies, a fabulous husband, a revolving door of fish, and a serious addiction to my computer. I love to cook, but not clean, and I can’t remain true to a recipe to save my life. I’m a horrible decorator, and my house usually has a layer of clutter all over it–but the house is comfy and it’s home. I’m not much of a baker, but I’m on a quest to perfect yeast breads–which can be hard with the high altitude.
Chances are, if there’s a devout fandom attached, I’m part of it, at least peripherally: Doctor Who, anything by Joss Whedon (Firefly and Buffy are my ultimate faves,) most things Sci-Fi, Sherlock, and Star Wars (Episodes IV-VI, natch.) I’m a voracious reader, I love music (chick rockers are my goddesses!) and I TRY to stay healthy by lifting weights, practicing yoga, and doing various things for cardio.
But frankly, I don’t usually run…unless something is chasing me.
So, the whole “surviving until the Zombie Apocalype” tagline…it’s a thing. I’m a busy girl, yet somehow I manage to cook mostly from scratch, look decent for a mom of two in her *cough40’scough*, and keep a full-time job that I love and that I think is important. If I can do it, holy balls, people anyone can!! Seriously.
*Disclaimers*
I’m one of those “intelligent, classy, well-educated women, who says ‘fuck’ a lot,” so if cussing bothers you, I’m sure there’s some squeaky-clean blogs out there for you.
I’m an apathetic-atheist. I don’t mind people that believe in a higher-power and follow an organized religion, as long as they keep their beliefs out of my body, schools, politics, and house.
I’m not a very nice person. Well, I am, but I like to get snarky from time to time. It will happen. I will do what I can to keep the identities of those I’m bitching about on the DL.
I’m a self-proclaimed grammar nerd.
