Well, the end of Memorial Day weekend is upon us and mine has been a relaxing one, as you might have noticed given the lack of blog posts. I actually went away for part of the weekend and did not take my computer with me. I know, hard to believe. And I only prevailed upon […]
Honest, I’m getting back to writing soon. But c’mon, huge cause for celebration–David Cook won American Idol last night! By 12 million votes! This gives me faith in America. Perhaps even enough faith to start to hope that we might even elect Obama come November. I think the judges actually did David Cook a favor […]
My embarrassing obsession with American Idol, and specifically David Cook, continues. Its very unlike to even watch TV in the first place, but here I am, watching this stupid show every week. I can't even really figure out why–Paula's a ditz, Simon is cruel and Randy has a penchant for bad slang. Plus Ryan Seacrest […]
Today is Global Day for Darfur. You probably haven’t even heard about this event. I hadn’t. And that is because the traditional media is too busy wringing their hands over an economic crisis that supposedly nobody saw coming (um, can you say duh?) and gleefully stoking the battle between Obama and Hilary. And I’ve been […]
The wonderful Jen at Semi-charmed wife passed on the Excellence Award to me. Thanks, Jen! Now I get to pass it on to others. I’d choose Jen because she has a great blog but I can’t because she’s already gotten in. So here are my choices (and let me just say these are a combination […]

I was reading my friend Deidre’s blog, and she has posted all the things she is going to do in 2008, and I am thus inspired to write my own list. Last night on New Year’s Eve, I posted all the goals I had for my blog. Since this is supposed to be a […]
I posted this under the category of food and drink because that seems appropriate for New Year’s Eve, don’t you think? And even though it is nearly 8 PM and I sitting at my computer writing a blog post, that does not mean I am lame and have no plans for New Year’s Eve. No, […]
You may have noticed the addition of the blue Newstex banner on my blog. This is because…wait for it…my blog is now officially syndicated! Pretty cool, eh? The wonderful people at Newstex now aggregate my content and add it to all the other blogs they feature, as a one-stop resource for journalists, politicians, and all […]
…and I’m basking in it. Grapes, more grapes please. And could you bring me some chocolate also? No, I prefer red wine, thank you. A foot rub would be nice. And there’s a wee little sore spot on my back… No, I guess its not that kind of attention. Damn. But this kind is just […]
