New Zealand: The Elusive Kiwi – and I Don’t Mean Fruit!

by Gina "SuuperG" Stark March 26, 2011 Travel and Adventures

ShareAnother excerpt from my down-underings in New Zealand: Being the avid birders that we are, my mum and I decided to take a pilgrimage to Stewart Island, off the southern most tip of the south island of New Zealand, to get our best chance of seeing the rare Kiwi bird in the wild. Remember, “south” […]

Valentine’s Day: Obligatory vs Voluntary

by Gina "SuuperG" Stark February 14, 2011 Random Ponderings

ShareIs posting something about love and Valentine’s Day obligatory? I’m seeing a plethora of articles and fun lists going around about this fun and loving day. I pondered over whether I felt any pressure to post something to get on the band wagon, and decided; I always did like wagons. 🙂 A kiss is a […]

Snowshoeing Idyllwild: What a Way to Winter Wonderland it!

by Gina "SuuperG" Stark February 3, 2011 Hiking

Share I once held the opinion that snow shoeing seemed dull and plodding. I was foolishly comparing it to my other winter sport of choice: downhill skiing. Now I know better 🙂 True, there is the absence of the adrenaline rush, unless you count, of course, the hair curling screams of local abominable snow beasts […]

Festive Festivals of Idyllwild!

by Gina "SuuperG" Stark January 14, 2011 Travel and Adventures

ShareI was graciously invited by the travel site GotSaga.com to list five favorite highlights of the town where I live; Idyllwild. But anyone who knows me at ALL knows I have a problem with minimalism and restrictions 😀 So, the fifth item I listed was actually a conglomeration of Cultural Festivals/Indulgences. I would like to […]

For 2011 I Resolve…to Be Cool with Not Resolving

by Gina "SuuperG" Stark December 30, 2010 Random Ponderings

Share‘Tis the season, yes? It’s barreling toward us…another start of another year when we look back and take stock of what we accomplished in the last 12 months. Another lost chance to be toned and well-honed, loved, rich, enlightened, famous, respected, vice-free (so un-fun!) and any myriad other gag-inducing goals. OK fyne! Being rich is […]

“Christmas” is Not a Bad Word

by Gina "SuuperG" Stark December 17, 2010 Random Ponderings

ShareOK, this is a first for me. A post that delves into…are you ready?…a controversial topic. Which is precisely why I am writing this. You see, ’tis the season to be merry, hairy, gay and bright. OK, maybe not hairy – but it IS winter. But I digress. I think we add too much controversy […]

Oh Deer! An Accidental Way to Feel Grateful

by Gina "SuuperG" Stark November 29, 2010 Random Ponderings

ShareI’m happy to be alive today. 🙂 Not just alive, but intact. My car isn’t. I had a close encounter with a cloven-hoofed animal late last night. I was actually maintaining a slower speed than normal for me on this stretch of mountain highway because it was so late and I was a bit sleepy, […]

Steampunk Fashion Show Extravaganza!

by Gina "SuuperG" Stark November 17, 2010 Random Ponderings

ShareVintage Futurism. Yes! I had been trying, with little success, to describe what, exactly steampunk is when I would exclaim elatedly to friends that I was driving to Oceanside to graciously and enthusiastically accept a last minute invitation to an exhibit and fashion show highlighting this movement in art, jewelry, fashion, film, and expression. Think […]

Drip Drip…a Few Drops in the Bucket

by Gina "SuuperG" Stark October 31, 2010 Random Ponderings

ShareA while back I wrote about my Charitable Drip System, where I pledged a penny per (paid) word of my blogging to charity. Well, I am happy to announce – albeit belatedly! – that I sent a check in the amount of $73.98 to The Nature Conservancy. One could snicker at this tawdry amount; but […]
