Marvelous March!
Robyn pointed out last that February sucked for a lot of people, and she’s even taking submissions to show how you are escorting February out the door. For me personally, February wasn’t a bad month. I can’t even begin to tell you just how much I love my new job, which I started [...]
Now THAT Would be Interesting…
As if Bush isn’t having enough problems with the UN these days, could you imagine if he had to meet with Secretary-General Clinton? Just the thought of it makes me laugh. Loud. Over and over, in that manic sort of way… [via My Irony]
Multi-tasking Television…
I’ve finally figured out why I can’t handle watching CNN normally. You have the person talking on the top half of the screen, then you have blurbs of news (some of which are quite amusing) along with the weather and the sports scores. It’s just too much to take in. Do I [...]
Like a Flood…
Like a flood the memories come back to me. My heart goes out to Kim right now, as I have walked in her exact shoes, almost 13 years ago. They removed my right ovary in 1990, and I have the lovely vertical scar she references to show off for it. I was [...]
It’s a Sad Day in the Neighborhood…
Oh no! My beloved Mister Rogers died today at age 74. I *loved* Mister Rogers when I was little – I liked to sing along with his songs, watch the adventures of the trips he would take us on, and like Bran, I even liked to watch him feed the fish. He [...]
I Knew It!
See, I knew there was something fishy with that whole “Jesus was a Vegetarian” thing – because really, Vegans are Modern Day Witches! It’s all right there in a Sermon by Brother Harry Hardwick at the Landover Baptist site.
Please note: Landover Baptist is a parody site. I do not really believe Vegans [...]
Scare Bear!
Can’t keep that red, orange, yellow, blue, green scale of alert levels straight? Maybe the Homeland Insecurity Scare Bear Index would work better for you!
Blogwhore, the Cliff Notes Version…
Haven’t taken the time to keep up with Blogwhore II, the Revenge of the Blogwhore? Well now you can get the Cliff Notes version courtesy of Philo, appropriately named Whores Gone Wild: Blogwhore 2. Come on, you know you want the scoop… [via Solonor, but don't tell Philo I didn't read it [...]
Blogs, Blogs, Everywhere…
If you haven’t heard already, Google bought Pyra Labs, the creators of Blogger. With a little less fanfare, it seems that Microsoft is testing the blogging-tool waters, and that same article goes on to say that AOL is building blogging tools and MSN is considering the same. Interesting, very interesting. I can’t [...]
Now I’ve Seen it All…
Driving down I-45, I spotted a billboard out of the corner of my eye. “Jesus was a Vegetarian.” What? Say what? Huh? It was enough to make me look again and read the fine print, “Show your support for all of God’s creatures – follow Him.” Maybe [...]
Delightful..
I was thinking of Dawn earlier, for no reason in particular. Maybe because I realized last week that I must trim down my blogroll – I can’t find the sites I want to read when I have time among the sites I just don’t have time to read anymore. Or the fact that [...]
Filtering Things…
I am so thrilled! Thanks to a comment that Dawn left on her site for Ste, I’ve discovered that there is a Lens Adapter for the Canon G2, allowing you to use 49mm filters with the camera! I already have a 49mm Polarizing filter for my Minolta X-370 SLR, so I could use [...]
Sucker for the Info…
Normally I just laugh at infomercials. The pot with the strainer lid? I would probably scald my arms trying to use it. Darren’s Dance Grooves? I would never go for it. But the Chef Wizard? I was *this close* (pinchy finger gesture) to picking up the phone and ordering [...]
Late Night Television…
First Mike tried to turn on Cartoon Network, but it only took me 3 seconds to comment on how that needed to go. Then we watched “Iron Chef”, which was fine. But when it was over there wasn’t a lot to choose from. He tried “South Park”, which got the same reaction [...]
Flying High…
I just added a ton of new photos to Picture Yourself. Many of them are amazing and wonderful, but I think that this one has to be one of my favorites! You can check out Scott’s other kite aerial photography photos at his site – they are captivating!
Mmm… Muffins!
Liz has set up a new site for her candles and it’s great! If you like good smelling candles that are cute too, head on over to Cinnamuffin Candle Company! Her candles are to die for!
If soap and lotion is more your thing, you can find something you’ll love over at my site, [...]
Friday Finds…
I discovered this last night that it’s not wise to listen to the Stephen Lynch CD while driving home from work. He has a song on there about Dungeons & Dragons that had me laughing so hard I had tears in my eyes. Not wise, not wise at all. (You can’t listen [...]
You CAN Help Find a Cure…
Kymberlie posted recently about how you can help find a cure for cancer, and it made me realize I don’t think I’ve ever posted about this – and I’ve meant to for some time.
My friend EJ lost his Dad to cancer last August, and in his memory he has asked that people sign up to [...]
Keeping the Peace…
When it comes to the Nobel Peace Prize, “Thousands of people around the world have the right to make nominations, including members of all national parliaments, members of international law courts, professors of history, social science, philosophy and theology and former winners.” So, who was it that nominated Bono? [via Biz Stone]
Simply Captivated…
You can tell that I’ve worked in short buildings for way too long. After 2 years in buildings less than 6 floors tall, I immediately noticed the small TV monitors in the elevators in some of the buildings in downtown Houston. The first building I noticed them in had CNN or MSNBC showing [...]
