Cherish the Music - Truly, Madly, Deeply

I love to listen to music while I'm writing and I've noticed that I'm not alone in this, because a lot of writers, past and present, have done the same. This song, by Savage Garden, really fits aspects of my storyline so beautifully.

Enjoy!

Music Monday's New Home - Mew

Mew is a band I discovered for myself between 2005 - 2006. But they've been active since the 90s. I really love their Indie sound and hope you will enjoy them too.

Cherish Technology

Hello! I hope everyone has been having a nice weekend.

This blog entry doesn't really have anything to do with my upcoming novel, per se. This is just something I watched that gave me a lot of excitement and hope for the future.

So, I gotta tell ya about this show by National Geographic that I just saw. It's called, Make Me Superhuman, and it's all about exoskeleton technology. If you haven't seen it yet, you should, because it's freakin' awesome!!!

I LOVE the eLEGS, especially, because I love it best when we humans use our technology for the good of man (and woman) kind.

There's one part where a guy uses his own home-built unit to throw a car over the side of a cliff. I had to laugh, because I couldn't help but think of this guy I used to know who could have done that without the exo-skeleton -- given a bit of adrenalin, that is. lol

Anyway, Make Me Superhuman is available on Netflix, so check it out!

Have a restful day.

Cherish the Poetry - Derelict



                      The storm came driving the surge with a force of reckoning.
                              Tempest-tossed now you lay forgotten, forsaken.
                  What did you think that fateful night - the lower lights beckoning -
             This, too, shall pass and upon the dawn I will awaken to a bright, new day?
