July 28: some fun questions

July 29, 2018 / Robyn Madson / Leave a comment

If you could turn any activity into an Olympic sport, what would you have a good chance at winning medal for? Procrastinating and then turning out a good product anyway. Research. What is the most annoying habit that other people have? Chewing loudly. Also, whistling in small public areas, like a bathroom or changing room. … Continue reading July 28: some fun questions

July 27: California is burning

July 27, 2018 / Robyn Madson / Leave a comment

Redding, a town of almost 100,000 people, is burning today in Northern California. Hundreds have lost their homes, a few have lost their lives. The pictures are devastating - this article has quite a few. When I look at the pictures, I can understand why people could picture hell as a burning, charred place. Certainly … Continue reading July 27: California is burning

July 26: When We Don’t Want to Write

July 26, 2018 / Robyn Madson / Leave a comment

Tonight I really don't want to be writing. I've been thinking about what to write about and then I did some searching on the internet for ideas and literally everything made me think "ugh, I don't want to write about that." They aren't even bad topics, I just don't want to do it. So what … Continue reading July 26: When We Don’t Want to Write

July 25: I’ve made a terrible mistake

July 26, 2018 / Robyn Madson / Leave a comment

Oh my god it's 2:43 in the morning and I'm still awake because I was doing art stuff and then I decided to watch a movie late at night. At 10:30, I looked at Dak and said "I really want to watch this movie but it's already late" and he said "go for it" in … Continue reading July 25: I’ve made a terrible mistake

July 24: Primary voter woes

July 24, 2018 / Robyn Madson / Leave a comment

I was totally sure about who I am going to vote for in the primary... until today when I read a thread written by people whose politics I really respect. Ugh. Backing up: I have been on team Erin - Erin Murphy and Erin Maye Quade - since Murphy announced she was running. I have … Continue reading July 24: Primary voter woes

July 23: lists help?

July 23, 2018 / Robyn Madson / Leave a comment

I've been overwhelmed by things that are just always kind of there under the surface, and I was thinking maybe making a list of stuff on my mind would help, but I keep forgetting to make the list. Tonight I remembered just as I was laying down to sleep and hey, I haven't done my … Continue reading July 23: lists help?

July 22: there are stupid questions.

July 22, 2018 / Robyn Madson / Leave a comment

I wasn't feeling inspired by anything in particular, so I googled "journal topics," which led to a bunch of websites with questions for teachers to give students. I started reading one that had some pretty basic questions, but then, it got weird. Here are some of the questions (with my answers). What if cows gave … Continue reading July 22: there are stupid questions.

July 21: Explaining extremism a little

July 21, 2018 / Robyn Madson / Leave a comment

I have always been fascinated with extremism, probably because I don't have a long enough attention span to get too extreme, although I'm not really sure. Maybe some of you think I'm extreme. But I've never really understood why anyone would be a member of a hate group or put that much time into actively … Continue reading July 21: Explaining extremism a little

July 20: unpopular opinions

July 20, 2018 / Robyn Madson / Leave a comment

I liked listing yesterday, and I've seen some twitter threads of unpopular opinions lately, so I'm going to list a few of mine: Plain pepperoni pizza isn't good. On top of that, pizza cut into squares is stupid. Not every kid has to go to college to live a happy, productive, fulfilling life. Reading for … Continue reading July 20: unpopular opinions
