Comfortable Prison

Long Way Home

This song is about being unfinished and in process, recognizing my shortcomings.

audio books

I have really gotten into audio books. I enjoy listening to them when I go to sleep. More recently I discovered audio book podcasts. These are awesome because they are free. And sometimes they can be better than ones that are sold even. It depends on the voice. I don't know if I have the best reading voice, but I found this cool website through the podcasts I was listening to. You can volunteer to read whole books or parts of books. They need to be in the public domain, so most of these readings are classics. Anyway, here is me reading a section from Les Miserables. Did you know the book is five volumes long?!

I hope this doesn't sound too cheezy!

Chicken and Sausage Paella

I found this crockpot recipe from my roommate's cookbook. I haven't been able to cook for awhile because a tree fell on my cabin, but I finally have a kitchen again in my temporary living situation. Sitting down to a real meal is so rewarding when it turns out well. Chicken thighs, smoked turkey sausage, bell peppers, tomatoes, onions, garlic, peas, turmeric, pepper, thyme, all served over rice. uh...yes!

Here is a painting I made a week or so ago. I think it was mostly inspired by Mario Bros. I am mostly proud of the little froggy I painted on the red mushroom. Thanks to Kendra for the use of her paints and canvas! 'Twas a nice, relaxing evening.

On The Shelf

I made this video with pictures I had on my computer. I haven't owned a camera for a long time. This is my most recent recording. It's a song that reminds me that sharing myself with other people is important.
