Happy Mother’s Day!

To all the moms out there who read this blog, I’d like to wish you a blissful Mother’s Day. 
I’ve gotten two very strange “Happy Mother’s Day” wishes today.
One was a Mother’s Day text message from a crazy girl who used to date Elf.  Very long story, but I have no earthly idea why [...]

Meme: Four Things

I was tagged by Dee.
Four things I was doing ten years ago:
1. Working in a law office, helping defend people accused of extremely serious crimes, like murder. Argh.
2. Taking care of my now-deceased husband.
3. Taking care of Elf. It’s hard to believe that he was only 11 [...]

Wow, it’s been a busy few days.
For those of you who aren’t aware, I bought an established blog domain a while back.  I’m in the process of expanding it into a website, and of course I post there as well.  I think Acceptance with Joy has made the connection, since she has posted there, but [...]

As previously stated, I have been forced to use my office computer after one of my dogs chewed through the power cord to my laptop.  As a result of my tendency to ignore work if I combine it with play, I had stopped blogging, and just used some of the entries from my old blog [...]

I don’t know about anybody else, but I’m just about sick and tired of hearing about poor little rich girl Paris Hilton. Paris, of course, is [...]

Back in the ’70s, there was a lot of controversy about alleged backward masking (i.e., subliminal messaging) in rock music. Parents were absolutely freaking out over it, and forbidding their children to listen to rock music. It should surprise no one to discover that I was one of the kids back then [...]

Tonight, due to circumstances beyond my control, I will not be liveblogging American Idol.
I know, I can feel your sorrow from here.
My laptop is kaput until I get a new power cord, because one of my dogs chewed partially through it a while back (luckily he didn’t get electrocuted, because it was plugged [...]

It’s Mariah Carey night. I’m not real sure how this is going to work out, but it could turn out to be the worst episode of American Idol ever.
Randy is looking for identity, though the judges regularly tell the contestants to not do songs from such well-known singers. For that reason, having a [...]

The Brown Recluse Spider

Today I received an email message from ElfNinosGreatUncle, with regard to the Brown Recluse spider.  This spider is usually found in the southeastern US, but sometimes shows up in other areas due to people moving and unwittingly bringing them along in boxes, etc.
The Brown Recluse got its name for a very good reason, in that [...]

This week, contestants are singing songs which inspire them.  That leaves a pretty wide range of songs, so it should be interesting.
Michael Johns: “Dream On” by Aerosmith.
Wow, this is really good.  I love that song, and it’s nice to see it performed by someone who looks handsome (unlike Stephen Tyler, one of the ugliest frontmen [...]

Starbucks, worried that McDonald’s and other chain restaurants are taking away their business (and since their stock is down about $17 per share, it’s a valid concern) is testing a bottomless $1 cup of coffee in their Seattle area stores. Currently, their least expensive coffee is an 8-ounce cup which is not refillable, and [...]

This one is for my friend (you know who you are, LOL) who always claims that Hall and Oates (more specifically, Daryl Hall) can’t sing.  Go ahead and look smug for a couple of minutes, because the proof is near the end.

I do believe you now owe me five bucks.

Locked-in syndrome

Imagine that you cannot move. You cannot speak. You are fully conscious, but the only parts of your body which move upon your command are your eyes.
Then imagine that, even though you are completely paralyzed with the exception of your eyes, you can feel everything. You might get an itch which [...]

I’m baaaack…..

To be quite honest, I had pretty much forgotten about this blog until today.  The only reason I had this blog at all was because I needed a WordPress account in order to post to LFV before they got their own server.
I just agreed to start posting on PaulieCannoli’s blog, which is why I was [...]

I found this over on Stupid Evil Bastard, and was pretty amazed by it.

Iconoclastic novelist, essayist and humanist Kurt Vonnegut Jr has died, at the age of 84. While Vonnegut would be best described as a libertarian socialist (putting him in a category with such groups as the ACLU and Food Not Bombs), he was the writer whose work most strongly influenced my left libertarian beliefs.

As a select few of you are aware, my anti-Chapman blog got hit with a rather unusual anonymous comment yesterday. I’m not going to repeat it because I have no way of substantiating some of what was in it, but it was posted by someone who claimed to know Gene’s ex-wife, and it made some [...]

American Idiots

Okay, I’ll admit it. I love watching American Idol, and I’ve watched it since Season One. I don’t watch the crappy contest part of it, though. I like watching the part where the painfully bad singers audition. As soon as auditions are over, I stop watching.
I have a question. [...]
