It's been some time since I posted here. Perhaps the reason is because of the "end-of-the-year" pile-on; the idea that just before the year ends, a lot of the karma around and within a person comes out so as to contribute to a person's new year clean slate. I don't know if there's any sense to this thinking. Practically speaking, why should any month be different from another? There are of course the seasons and interminglings of planetary motions...but I digress. Suffice it to say that after observing other blogs and my facebook feed, it has been a busy past few months for many people, including myself.
Today is December 23rd in Guam, the place I live. Tomorrow is Christmas Eve, and the day after that, Christmas. In my morning routine of reading I found a little gem, which feels appropriate to blog about for a number of reasons. First, I've blogged before about "eco-friendly" houses built on a shoe string budget. In the little gem, we have a handsome youngish-looking man who's built what looks like a hobbit house for his family. I'm not sure the house is as charming as the article gushes, but the house doesn't appear to be bad for the money in play (around $7,500) and how efficiently the house functions as an abode. Comparatively he's done a lot in terms of size and comfort for the money. The mini houses I've blogged about before--well some of those cost the same and are suitable for 1, perhaps 2 people living in very tight quarters. There's a nice picture of the man with his family which makes this feel like a holiday-positive picture. And perhaps the last good reason to blog about this hobbit house is trailers for Peter Jackson's The Hobbit have recently been released. Check out pictures of this eco-friendly house and some details on how it was built here.
