Hi All! Despite valiant intentions I have not read any books at all this summer, which is really surprising to me. I have been slowly plugging along through a dense and tedious, albeit informative, book called Ancient Nepal by D R Regmi. I have learned lots of little neat factoids like which neighborhoods of Kathmandu

Hello everyone! My name is Leslie and I live in Kathmandu. Here, the very rainy season is perfect for staying inside. Streets will flood, mangoes will ripen on the trees, all my clothes will smell like mildew because drying on the line is the option around here….and so I will be in my robe, eating
The Dragon Pearl by Yoon Ha Lee is probably the best YA Fantasy book I have read in a while. It is in the same series of authors I have been reading, but this one is BY FAR the best. Outerspace? Check. Shapeshifting young female protagonist who is actually a fox? Yes that is there.
I learned how to make an animation with a transparent background, and was able to employ this new skill just in time for my Mom’s 66th bday! Sharing with y’all now! Uploading it here, as I did not want to put my mom’s bday card on public on youtube. The “Black Diamond” thing at the

I’ve been inconsistently working on animation for a little over a year now. I made a couple little things last year as a valentines gift for S, and remembering the lessons I learned, was able to make something a little bit better looking this year. I put it on youtube to make it easier to
I read this book in 2 evenings, and if I had started earlier in the day I would have finished it in one go. Then I lent it to my bedridden cousin and she finished it in one day as well. We both loved it. It tells, through a series of Government Inspector interviews with
Well, the book was technically a pretty fast read, but also pretty dark so it ended up getting set down periodically. You could finish it in a few evenings of bedtime wind-down reading. The whole thing is basically a long allegory for the consequences of human arrogance. It is worth reading, although if you are
I am about 1/3 through the book and so far it is reminiscent of Planet of the Apes. The universe created by Le Guin is drawing me in. Humans have colonized a planet that was populated with life by a meteor from Earth about a million years ago. This wave of colonists seems to be
