Old Song New Dance

 When you watch the news and remember every 80s movie re-run where the Reds of Russia attack this song gets in your head. I first put this on my workout playlist when I noticed Russia was going to attack a long while ago. Everyone on the news is like “what a shock” and I am like this issue is so not new.

In It To Win It

 I placed a bet on Fan-Duel Sports App for the Super Bowl, but it was NOT easy. The have a “Bet 5 Dollars and Win $280 Special” online. However when you login there are like 200 betting options. How do you place a basic win-loss bet? After watching YouTube for hours it turns out press “money line” next to the sports team name is for the win/loss line. Then press bet. Press this to get the super-promo bet. The win is for a hundred, and the extra game stuff is for the full amount. It looks like the following. The Rams are playing the first Super Bowl in LA for 29 years so I think they are in it to win it this year.

Puritan Valentine's Day

 Modern love may have ups and downs, but at least we don’t have to send Puritan’s Valentine’s Day cards.



Sunny Day

 At long last a warm and sunny day has hit my area. Time to go out and about a bit for the night. Valentine’s Day dates don’t meet themselves, and I am very much so NOT happy being dateless, desperate, divorced, and single on Valentine’s Day weekend.

Road Trip Art

 A new set of RV Art Collage and Watercolor mixed medium images are up on the FH7publishing page under paintings. They are listed as for sale under “art prints” in the sales section. They are art collage images, but the images as the main background are watercolor paintings. RV and road trip motivation, mixed with vintage movie nostalgia are the main focus ideas of the art print set. All are made by artist Andrea Menzies.

If Virginia was a book on Amazon I would give it one star saying I hate it. Sometimes outrage is the appropriate response if you have had nothing but horrible experiences with someone or something. I dream of RV road-trips far away from Virginia every second of the day.

February and Divination

 February 1st and 2nd were once holidays for a goddess and Saint Brigid of divination and milk in ancestral history. Some of her animals helpers were groundhogs, badgers, and hedgehogs and this is why we predict the weather with groundhog divination on the second. Lighting a candle, making crosses, straw dolls, straw doll beds, and other traditions are good luck between February 1st, 2nd, and 3rd of the month. I found interesting documentaries from museums in Canada and Ireland last night online as well as photos. As a history minor at University it is interesting to me what old world traditions end up crossing over into modern day.
