Random Thoughts In Search of - A Theme
Feb. 3rd, 2012 11:07 amAnybody remember the old Leonard Nimoy I-need-to-pay-the-bills-SOMEHOW vehicle "In Search Of...?" You know, the one where Nimoy did the voice-over for all those quacks looking for Atlantis or UFOs? Well, this is my reboot of that concept.
1) It turns out that Groundhog Day is related (vaguely) to Imbolc AKA Candlemas. There were a number of pagan and Christian festivals half-way between winter solstice and spring, largely devoted to answering the question "do we have enough food to make it to spring?"
2) A two-fer from![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
jaylake. First, for most of human history, there were multiple species of human wandering around. Second, 25 things I learned from opening a bookstore.
3) So, I dragged my butt to the health club Wednesday, and will again today. I am officially Out. Of. Shape. Well, unless "round and pudgy" counts as a shape. I'm not trying to be Mister Universe, but avoiding Mister Couch Spud would be nice.
4) I bought and tried the original Fiber One cereal. You know, the stuff that's heavily-advertised. It looked like mouse turds and tasted like sawdust with a little sugar. Yuck. The non-original AKA "good" flavors have about the same amount of sugar in them as Froot Loops. Back to Cheerios am I.
5) I sent out about 250 postcards to various book stores touting my book. At a buck a card, including postage, it was cheap. At least one card was received and will become an order. One down and 249 to go.
