Review: New Moon by Stephanie Meyer
I finished reading New Moon, which was much, much more dramatic (emotionally) than Twilight. As in, Bella goes into a zombie state for months, and the book just has blank pages with the names of each month as place holders–October, November, December, January, etc. I (and most everyone I know) have handled divorce better than […]
The Girl Is Back!
It was only a few days, but I missed her. She had fun, saw both sets of grandparents and various other kin, got fig preserves made just for her, went shopping, and other stuff I can’t recall at the moment. I expect that she’ll be catching up on sleep for the rest of the week.
Another Homegrown Terrorist, This Time in Tennessee
Police: Man Shot Churchgoers Over Liberal Views Knoxville, Tennessee—An unemployed man accused of opening fire with a shotgun and killing two people at a Unitarian church apparently targeted the congregation out of hatred for its support of liberal social policies, police said Monday. That makes a lot of sense. This whackjob is unhappy because he lost […]
Sunday Night
Yes, I’m boring. I hate trying to think of titles for posts. The girl is off visiting, having left yesterday afternoon. Her cat is frantic. He is very much attached to HER, not US. So whenever she leaves the house, he goes nuts, gets terribly anxious, and is certain that she’ll never, ever come back. He […]
Vampyres of Hollywood Review is Up
The review is more detailed than what I posted here. TCM is pretty cool, if you’re willing to read new books by unproven authors and review them. Hope, you’d probably do really well with it–lots of them are eBooks, which I have trouble with reading on a screen. They have separate mailing lists to find reviewers […]
R.I.P. Randy Pausch
You remember all that buzz about “The Last Lecture” last September?1 I do hope you watched it–it was well worth the time. It’s still available, too. Randy Pausch, the lecturer, died yesterday. He was just 47, and leaves a wife and 3 small children. I know that he did that particular lecture because he knew that […]

Yay! and Boo!
The good news: we’re finally done with the water boiling! It’s a good thing, too. The stores are all out of bottled water. The bad news: the girl has a nasty migraine 🙁 She was supposed to leave Friday afternoon for the weekend, and it looks like that may not happen. I hope she doesn’t have […]
Welcome, Gillian!
