FINALLY, I am finished with my six weeks 100 pushups challenge! Yes, it did take me roughly six months. Since I started out unable to even do one, I did the program with “girly” pushups, where you put your weight on your knees. When I wrote about it in March, […]
Sunday I chillaxed with some girls, watching Disney movies. We’ve all been running on empty, so one of my friends invited us over to just watch our favorite cartoons and veg. We were also supposed to discuss A Clockwork Orange, but strangely that didn’t exactly fit in with the rest of the day. I’ll try […]
Today I read a Paste Magazine interview with Felicia Day. She is quickly becoming one of my favorite actresses. She’s unconventional — beautiful, smart, witty and has gorgeous eyes and red hair! Yay! She’s a gamer nerd chick, with smooth pale luminescent skin glowing from lack of pigment and too much computer time. […]
Apparently, I’ve come of age in the blog world! I’ve won a Major Award™. Okay, maybe not, but Apollo passed along The Lemonade Award to me this week. (Sarah also won! She wants pictures of your Chuck Taylors, by the way.)
Assuming we’re all playing the Whisper Game right, The […]
Today we celebrate the beautiful planet we call home! All over the world, Earth Day celebrations are planned, concerts being held, and donations being made. Disney is releasing Earth,the first movie in its nature series today. I can’t wait to go see that one! The trailers for that are gorgeous, and it looks so interesting […]
When April’s National Geographic came in the mail, I ripped into it eagerly. I flipped through the pages, looking at the breath-taking photography, and saw an article on the worldwide frog crisis. Immediately, I started talking to the Spousal Unit about the article, and how I hoped to learn more. I was expecting him to […]
Since both Earth Day and Arbor Day are this week, it’s a perfect excuse to speak on some important “green” topics.
In the following video, Willie Smits talks about his quest to help the orangutan after finding one dying in the market in Borneo. Early on in the talk, he tells how there are almost […]
A while back, I was thinking of putting up a summary of what’s happened so far in the Friday night D&D game. Then every Saturday or so, I’d put up a post-game summary. It works for some other blogs I’ve read. I know a few of you quiet ones out there are wondering what’s going […]
Every year, there are two weeks of voluntary TV Turnoff Weeks. April 19 launches the first one for this year. Is anyone else participating? Families with young children are the real target, so I’m sure most adults that are outside of the Mommy and teacher circuits haven’t even heard of […]
This started out as reply to some really good, discussion provoking comments to my earlier article about taxes. Once my response grew past 3 paragraphs, it was time to move out of the comment box.
Like many issues in politics, the Catch-22 involved in reforming the tax code is apparent to everyone. A huge […]
