Enjoying Music Again: Home Free

music mood mover pixabay Music plays a different role for everyone. I’ve always found it to be a huge mood-influencer. If I’m happy, it’ll pump me up. If I’m melancholy, it’ll carry me away. If I feel one way and want to feel another, I turn to music.

However, as I’m coming out of a stressed-out, depressed and burnt out episode of my life, that it’s been a while since I’ve really, actively, enjoyed music. For the last while, it’s mostly been filler, background noise, and a distraction. But it’s been ages since I’ve sat at my computer and cruised YouTube for new tunes.

And I’ve rediscovered Home Free. They’re an a capella country band, and the sound that makes them them is delightfully unique. They do occasionally cover other genres, and while I enjoy the novelty of it, I enjoy their country stuff best.



I’ll probably have to source their CDs now…

How about you readers? What have you been rocking out to lately? I have a fairly eclectic taste in music – I might like it!

Skittle Addiction

author, candy, entertainment, fun, Skittles, Stephanie Beavers, Stephanie Stewart, sugar, sweets, writer, writing

I have a confession. I have a Skittle addiction.

Well, really it’s more of a sugar/munchies addiction, but let’s face it, “Skittle” is a fun word and “Skittle addiction” sounds better than “snackaholic.” Maybe. Actually, “snackaholic” sounds pretty awesome too. Ahem. Anyways.

I love candy, and everyone who knows me, knows that, including people at work. I have earned the nickname “Squirrel” for the snacks I stash away, and also “Hummingbird” for the sheer amount of sugar I consume (ironically, not usually in liquid form, as I don’t drink pop). They are all familiar with me nibbling away on chocolate, skittles, other candies, and Tostitos.

No Skittles for me, thank you. -Nobody

Which brought me to an amusing thought. What if, while typing, every time I ate a bite of something, I had to type the word skittle? When I send invoices to customers, it would probably read something like this:

“Dear Mr. skittle Smith,

Please find you invoice skittle attached.

Thank you for skittle your business.

Regards,
Stephanie skittle”

Or what about when I’m working on my manuscript?

“Vhi hovered behind skittle the thick trunk of a cottonwood, occasionally peeking around it at the village down the road. The village skittle looked to be a fairly humble one, with largely thatched roofs and accessed by a road that was more of a wide path of earth packed by feet and wooden wheels. Humble or no, each skittle glimpse of it drove her back into hiding behind the tree.”

Again, I may have a problem.

By the way, Orchard Skittles are the best variety of Skittles. Just sayin’.

Orchard Skittles are the best

So, dear readers, what’s your favorite kind of Skittles?

Empty barrels make the most noise. Icelandic proverb. people who are all talk, often don't know a lot.

If the world flooded, it wouldn't matter to the duck. Turkish proverb. Things that are bad for you, aren't always bad for everyone.

A cat in mittens won't catch mice. Gaelic proverb. Being careful and polite doesn't always get things done.

The pillow is the best advisor. Swedish proverb. Sleep on a problem and see how you feel in the morning.

A hungry stomach has no ears. French proverb. You can't concentrate without food in your tum tum

There's a bad potato in every sack. Welsh proverb. There's a bad influence in every group of people.

author, baby on board, bumper stickers, Calling On Fire, Fire Within, fun, funny, humor, laugh, lol, passive aggressive, smart alec, Stephanie Beavers, think, writer

Bored Panda had some amazing bumper stickers the other day. I’ve picked my favorites and divided them into categories for you:

For the passive-aggressive types:
Sorry for driving so close in front of you

Stupidity isnt' a handicap, park somewhere else

Watch out for the idiot behind me

Stickers for people tired of seeing “Baby on Board” signs:
Durex: no babies on board.

Adults want to live too

Fair warning stickers:
So gay I can't drive straight

70 leave me alone

Asian Driver: good luck everyone

“Deep” bumper stickers:
Just because no one understands you doesn't make you an artist

Don't believe everything you think

Smart alec bumper stickers:
This isn't the best car ever, it's just a tribute

I've got a perfect body, but it's in the trunk and it's starting to smell

Lucifer Returns

Today I’m totally stoked because Fox’s TV series Lucifer is coming back for a second season.

the devil

Tom Ellis as Lucifer Morningstar.

Lucifer is by far my favorite current show (although there are old favorites still unshaken). The premise? Lucifer gets bored with Hell and decides to take a vacation in L.A. He opens a nightclub with his demon buddy Maze.

demon Mazikeen

Lesley-Ann Brandt as Maze.

Then he meets a detective named Chloe who is mysteriously immune to his supernatural powers of charm and persuasion. Intrigued by that and titillated by the idea of punishing evildoers, he starts helping her on her cases.

cop buddy

Lauren German as Detective Chloe Decker.

Did I mention that Lucifer has a badass brother angel?

the badass brother angel

DB Woodside as Amenadiel.

Oh, and Lucifer has a psychiatrist.

Humor me

Rachael Harris as Kim Martin.

So if you’re looking for a new TV show in the vein of comedy/supernatural/police procedural, look no further. It probably isn’t quite what you’re expecting.

Anyone else out there seen Lucifer? Are you thinking of trying it now?

Summer Is Women’s Winter

AC, air conditioning, author, CollegeHumor, entertainment, fun, gender stereotypes, Stephanie Beavers, summer, winter, writer

I’m one of those people. Yes, one of those people. The one who’s always cold. It will be crazy hot outside (say, mid-thirties Celsius – mid-nineties to you Americans), and I will be packing a sweater around because the second I step foot inside, I know I’ll be freezing. ‘Cause y’all have the AC on too much.

So while the below video is a very humorous portrayal of this trait divided across gender lines, I take it to new heights. The other women laugh at the fleece blanket that I cuddle up in while they’re complaining about the heat.

So ladies, take pity on me, because if you feel like the ladies in the video, imagine how it must be for me; when you’re warming up, I’m still cold.

How is it for you, readers? Are you like me, always cold, or like the guys, laughing at the cold people?
