Public Service Announcement: I’ve been hacked. More specifically, my email account has been hacked. If I know you, then you probably received a suspicious email from me (a single link). Don’t click that link! If you do, some spammy spammer somewhere will laugh with maniacal glee. I’m doing my best to fix the problem, but … More Hacked
I know, I must get back to blogging – if only to keep me on a regular writing schedule. Alas, life is getting in the way at the moment. In the meantime, enjoy this:
Yes, folks, it really does exist: And, yes, that is me poking my head out of a hobbit home in Hobbiton, New Zealand. My husband and I are in Matamata, North Island, New Zealand for the next two weeks. Imagine my content surprise when I realized that Hobbiton was only a bus ride away. I … More Hobbiton
I don’t normally enter the fray, but as a former amateur cycling competitor, I feel it my duty to weigh in on the Lance Armstrong debate ( 🙄 ) Of course he did it. (They all do it.) Does that mean he should be striped of his titles? Yes. Is he still an amazing athlete? Yes. … More Cunning as a shithouse rat
No. Not really. I wish. But I am taking an unplanned vacation from my blog. Nothing bad has happened, just a bit overwhelmed. I’ll still be posting book reviews intermittently over on my other blog. I’ll be back here when…I’m back. In the meantime, enjoy this: H/T: Why Evolution is True
Someone done gone and gave me a foofaraw. 😮 No, that’s not a disease. Nor, sadly, is it a yummy pastry. Though that would be nice right about now, wouldn’t it? I got a wonderful thing last week from this gal. She happened upon my blog and thought I deserved the Versatile Blogger Award. She’s a former … More On foofaraws and such
As a new kid on the block, I try to absorb as much as possible about the business of writing. Not because I intend to turn my hobby into a career, but because I don’t want to appear uninformed about a profession I want to dabble in. It’s the same for any of my hobbies, … More The Ellusive Art of Self-promotion
Ah, in gentler times, it was called hay fever. Well, when I was a kid, that’s what we called it. And it was treated with a hot shower and an afternoon off from mowing the grass. (Yes!) I’ve always had hay fever, and I pretty much knew I was allergic to grasses, so when I … More Allergic Rhinitis
Another blog post on homelessness that is much more creative than my own that amuses and puts things in a different perspective. The city was in a serious bind because it no longer had any money. Not only did the city no longer have any money, they also had a lot of debt. The first … More The Homeless – Budget Cut #1 (via SomethingNewPlease)
I’ve meant to post about homeless people. I see homeless people every day I ride into work. I see them at other times, too, but they are much easier to ignore when you are in a warm or air-conditioned car (depending on the season or time of day). I’m new to homeless people. Or, rather, … More Homeless People
