So, in case people haven't heard, I didn't get into any of the grad schools to which I applied. This means Tom and I are moving somewhere for next year just to live. I also haven't written anything worthwhile in about a year. A few half-starts here and there, but mostly nothing. I may persue graphic design, which would mean, in all likelihood, a ( Read more... )

She's dead? I swear I thought I'd misread the headline, or maybe that it was going to link me to an article on The Onion. But no, Anna Nicole's actually dead... autopsy later today, apparently.

So, the owner of a roadside attraction--a water park with a live mermaid show--was refusing to maintain it adequately, and there had been threats that it would have to be closed down. But ( Read more... )

Does anybody (particularly people of the about-to-graduate-from-college variety) have a mini-fridge they won't be needing for the summer? I can return it after summer, but I could really use a place to store veggies so I can actually eat this summer. I'll buy one too, if you know anybody who has one...
