I know I’ve brought up this band from Ohio before. I’ve been enamored of this husband and wife team (Karin Bergquist and Linford Detweiler) since I bought a little known CD, Good Dog Bad Dog, without having ever heard any of it. It turned into one of those CDs that you put in, then you…

Migraines
I’m getting fed up with the inability to format these posts… But, I’m recovering from a migraine. Didn’t know it was a migraine. Went to the doc for other issues and he explained what was happening. This is the most ridiculously painful and debilitating thing. Ever. I haven’t been able to stand light, food and…
Can’t Believe They’re Coming
My eyes have been hurting, so I’ve been offline more than usual and reading a lot less which leaves me feeling… off. I even read while watching TV. I’m thinking going from computer screen all day to book and TV at night has worn out the eyes a bit. This has caused a two week…
Interrupting This Program for Something Weird
Every now and then I visit Boing Boing: A Directory of Wonderful Things just to see something odd. Yeah, I can admit to a voracious curiosity when it comes to humans and all the strange things they come up with. This video stumped me. It’s oriental ladies painting themselves in a bathtub. They are wearing…

Psychology Today

Yes, I said the “P” word. I can’t copy the article, but I’d like to showcase a couple of paragraphs that slapped me upside the head. Here,…
The Google Bomb worked!

Getting Frustrated Here
This is sad. I’ve written several fun, seriously mouthy blog posts about guilty pleasure movies, strong writing words and even a tiny little sort of political rant about scary men who shouldn’t get votes whether a person is pro life or pro choice. And hey, that’s YOUR choice. But, his lack of compassion and his…
Odds and Ends
Playing catch up today. I’m trying hard to get my book done within the next two months. Preferably one month. In addition, today I have a lot to do. An important entry to a writing contest got lost in the mail so I have to reprint and remail another copy today. Problem is, I’ve since…
What a Day! Feeling Snarky…
I’ve been in one heck of an off mood today. Couldn’t focus enough to write squat, couldn’t decide between the two activities we’d been invited to tonight and I’m sick of laundry so I just shut the door and pretended it wasn’t there. I love my house but keeping this puppy clean takes up too…
