On This Day

Should you dig back through my archives, please keep in mind that the further in the past a post was published, the more likely it is that the information has become outdated or my beliefs have changed. I sincerely believe that learning, growing, examining, and often changing beliefs is an integral part of being a responsible human being. My personal journey socially and politically has been ever leftwards, and there are many posts in the archives that I would not write the same way today, if at all. Thanks for understanding!

    • Took me long enough… Of course, at this point, local movie aficionados will be giving me your basic (and well deserved), 'Well, _DUH!_' ;) I'd heard about Scarecrow for years, knew that it was supposed to be 'the' place to go locally for movies, but for some reason, just hadn't ever actually wandered in.

    • Bottomless bathtubs I have no idea when or why, but at some point in my youth, my overactive imagination seized upon the idea that there was no actual support structure underneath the bathtub. I was terrified that at any point during a bath or shower, the caulking would give way, or the bottom of the tub would drop out, and I'd go plummeting into the depths of the earth.
