A Hiding Place
I need a place to hide today. I didn’t have something quite as sophisticated as an abditory in mind though. If you want to find me, I’ll be in my pillow fort coloring. ‘Til next time, Jessica

Goldilocks Had the Right Idea
This summer I’ve listened to a lot of Zac Brown Band (fine, I listen to them all year round, but especially summer). Jekyll + Hyde is an awesome album, what can I say? A particular line from the song “Homegrown” sticks with me, and has since […]

I like this word, hoppipolla. It sounds fun popping from the lips. Try it? See! Awesome! This is something I am usually guilty of. Unless there’s somewhere I have to be where staying clean and dry is required, I’ll jump in the puddle. I don’t require children to be present to encourage me either. My […]

I lovingly refer to my mother as the Comma Queen. She’s my proofreader extraordinaire, when I can contract use of her services. She is in very high demand, you know. Making my own grammatical blunders always makes me cringe. However, it happens. Sometimes, I know it before the words ever trip off my tongue, but […]

How would you finish that sentence? do you remember your dreams? Do you dream in color? Lately, my dreams have been crazy. Crazy! Like sentenced to death row for saving someone’s life crazy. Yeah, that makes for restful sleep. (Where is that damned sarcasm font when I need it!) ‘Til next time, Jessica

“Play it f@#%in’ loud!” ― Bob Dylan I’m in a mood today…I want lots of punk rock played loud enough that if it were any other day, you’d be worried about the speakers. ScotsFest begins in Tulsa tonight, and a friend flies in from out-of-state today, and tomorrow we’ll all be there for the music, food, […]

“Those who find ugly meanings in beautiful things are corrupt without being charming. This is a fault. Those who find beautiful meanings in beautiful things are the cultivated. For these there is hope. They are the elect to whom beautiful things mean only Beauty. There is no such thing as a moral or an immoral […]

“Music is … A higher revelation than all Wisdom & Philosophy” ― Ludwig van Beethoven I have a love/hate with Beethoven. His music is transcendent. However, as a pianist (very amateur pianist) no matter how much I practice, I feel like the man is trying to tie my fingers in knots and my hands ache every […]

Thank you! Today, I Love Geekology 101 turns one. Really? I still feel like such a newbie blogger. This first year has been pretty awesome, and I owe a big part of that to all of you. I Love Geekology 101 began as a way to explore all this great stuff. All of these things […]
