Rejuvenation, be it body or soul, doesn’t occur immediately. I don’t find anything that involves refilling one’s energy happens quickly. Jouissance in the […]
I have mentioned I’m a fan of Star Trek a few times. I am a genuine fan of the original series, the Next Generation and Deep Space 9 as well as many of the movies. Gene Roddenberry pitched it as space cowboys but it’s become a template for entire generations for what competence in the […]

I get really bad migraines. I do what o can to manage them but they are a frequent and challenging enough issue for me that I’ve got 45 separate entries on the topic. I’d prefer not to discuss it at all as it’s not a very pleasant experience but it can be so overwhelming that […]
