I’ll confess, I’m getting bored: Los Angeles has been an adventure, but after eight months of being on America’s West Coast full time, I think it’s reaching a natural conclusion. I’ve tried getting into real estate, music, acting, modeling, and now dance…and none of it … Continue readingNo, We Won’t Go Back!
Hello, America! 🇺🇸 Back in the United States and back blogging at a hotel room desk, when I’m not wandering the mall straight into a Dolby Cinema (where last night I watched “Twisters”; it was actually pretty good (!), and certainly much better than I … Continue readingWelcome to Wonderland?
The house is signed, sealed…and almost delivered. The property my grandparents bought is about to be unloaded, and not a moment too soon: to my surprise, I’ve gotten a cash offer for $250,000 with just a walk-through required rather than a full inspection or an … Continue readingThe Clock is Ticking
Today, February 13, 2024, is my thirtieth birthday, a milestone, and not one I’m altogether pleased about; it’s not like I have to pass into the grim routine of middle age and fade into the shadow world like the elves of Middle-Earth, but there is … Continue readingO Brave New Decade: Turning Thirty

I have no idea what sparked this interest in me, but looking up what a materialistic person is, it seems that I’m one; at least I have most of Minimalism Made Simple’s 17 signs that you’re a materialistic person. But so what? What’s so bad … Continue readingMaterialist, Not Minimalist
Maybe I shouldn’t take so many of these restful days where I don’t go out, because I ended up looking up real estate listings again. Even in low-cost-of-living cities a home of decent caliber in a decent area (nothing great or luxe, mind you, just … Continue readingThe Heir Abides?
I don’t currently make it my all-consuming priority in life by any stretch of the imagination, but I would like someday to find a true love and have a lot of children with her. She’d have to be highly intelligent, sweet, cute, charming, classy, youthful, … Continue readingMy Dream Relationship
