This must be digital week on The Daily Brew-HaHa.  We had the recent post on violent media, and the followup on the ethics of that kind of media.  And now, I’m here to rant about alternate reality.
I don’t know if you’ve heard of Second Life.  It’s an online game where people create an entire persona, [...]

This is more of an activity challenge instead of something to ponder.  Believe me, it may take all of your concentration and willpower to do it, though.
Find a picture, preferably a mandala picture or something with an obvious pattern.  Grab a box of crayons or markers or colored pencils.  Next, begin coloring the picture as [...]

In a recent BREW-HAHA about violent media and the Witch mind, a comment was made about a game called Grand Theft Auto about how the mimicing of these actions in a video game might translate into the understanding that such real-life actions are “okay” to do.
This brings me to this follow-up post about violent media, [...]

My dear familiar, Akasha, had a bit of a run in with a grocery bag last night.  Out of curiosity, she stuck her head in a Publix bag I failed to put away and, in cosmic comedic style, somehow managed to get her tail stuck and wound through the handle in such a way that [...]

I was born an Aquarius.  That’s where my hell-bent desire to make a better world originates, I believe.  I love my Sun sign, nevermind the fact that I’m more on the sensitive side of Aquaries than the aloof side (that Pisces Moon in my chart really amps that up, believe me!).  But I’m pretty down [...]

So, I found something I wanted to do regularly here on the site.  You may or may not know that I’m a musician as well as a singer/songwriter.  I love music!  I love to write it, compose it, play it — whether it means picking up my Martin D-15 or my cherry dulcimer or banging [...]

Fair warning:  I’ve been pretty pensive lately and it’s translating into more BREWs than HAHAs or BREW-HAHAs these days.  And I certainly don’t want this to come off as negative in any way.  It’s not a rant, not a slam, not really anything but an observation and a talking point.
Paganism doesn’t really truck with the [...]

Today, I’ll be doing some yard saling at the Flea Market.  Last night, I went through the house and gathered up everything that I hadn’t used or thought about in six months that would fit in my car.
I’ve finally reached a point in my life where Stuff feels heavy to me.  I look around and [...]

I don’t have cable TV and I seriously dislike horror movies.  Suspense I’m okay with, action is fine as long as it isn’t gory.  But when you cross that line into sick and twisted things that humans do to other humans, I can’t take it.
I remembering trying to watch the first SAW movie, and I [...]

Last weekend, I got hit with the ever-so-popular PMS symptoms.  Now that I’m in my mid-thirties, things aren’t quite as regular as they used to be and I’m pretty sure that my ovaries are firing buckshot instead of bullets in the hopes of me getting pregnant.  Fortunately, I’m not sharing my bed with anyone but [...]
