As usual, two things popped into my head simultaneously at today’s Stream of Consciousness Saturday prompt: The Carmina Burana’s “O Fortuna” trackYou’ve given me fame and fortune and everything that goes with it, I thank you all Marginalia found in medieval manuscripts is bizarre and fascinating and cool and I think I'm going to get…

I Won’t Let Go of Disney – Stream of Consciousness Saturday #SoCS
Well, there’s my earworm for the day:Let it go, let it go something something I don’t actually know the words so those three words will be tumbling in my head for a good little bit. Huzza. Not. OTH, maybe it’ll replace Wig Wam’s “Do you wanna taste it, do you really wanna taste it” from…
Try As I Might, Can’t Handle Mostly Moist Stream of Consciousness Saturday #SoCS
Today's prompt is a tough one as I don't really have one. LInda G. Hill confronts us with the following prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday: Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is “least-favorite word.” Use your least-favorite word in your post. If you can’t decide on one, use a word that just really…
Hope, Faith, and Action – Stream of Conciousness Saturday #SoCS
Photo by Geetanjal Khanna on Unsplash Hope without action is just a wish. And unlikely to happen. Reminds me of one of my favorite sayings, "Wish in one hand, shit in the other. See which one fills up faster." A rare semi-deep thought for Linda G. Hill's Stream of Consciousness Saturday prompt: Your Friday prompt…

Baseball Hats and Other “H” Words Stream of Consciousness Saturday #SOCS
I can't wear a baseball hat. That's the first thing I thought of when I saw today's prompt from Linda G.

Drive on. The Johnny Cash song popped into my head immediately on reading this week's prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday from Linda G Hill:. Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is “drive.” Use it any way you’d like. Have fun! It's a sad, bitter, maybe even bittersweet, song about surviving Vietnam. It's also…
Allow Me to Collect Myself SoCS
Is collect calling even a thing still? After rewatching both Deep Space 9 and Star Trek: The Next Generation last year and earlier this year, we have better comms tech than their stupid badges -- though the audio was always good. Plus, why did they always have those dinky-ass hand-held flashlights when exploring a dark…
Nobody Puts Baby in a Corner – Stream of Cosciousness Saturday #SoCS
After a long hiatus caused by nothing more than laziness and too much staring at the TV (and a few actual life stresses), going to give SoCS another go this year. After all, these are fun to "write" -- your mileage on reading may vary. As you may have guessed, "in the corner" was today's…
Of Caves and Cavemen: Stream of Consciousness Saturday #SoCS
"CAPTAIN, CAAAAAAVVVVVVVEEEEMAAAAANNNNNNNNN!" Today's prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday from Linda G. Hill is "cave." Use it as a subject, verb, or whatever. I have vague memories of watching Captain Caveman as a kid. Always liked how he rummaged around in his beard/hair and would come out with whatever was needed. There was always something…
