E-book with an e-story by e-me!
You've probably been thinking, "That rabbit hasn't been around complaining, so things must be going great for her." And you know, there is at least one significant piece of evidence pointing to YES ( Read more... ) -
My idea for how to make the rest of Lost awesome
Lost has a few great things going for it--and a few real problems. Sweety and I realized that we enjoyed this episode extra-much for a few good reasons: more Miles, no Kate.
( My brilliant idea that would never happen even if the season weren't already scripted and shot ) -
My Olympic fever runs about 99 degrees even....
...but I've been watching a bit anyway. Having grown up surrounded by hockey players, I was not inclined to watch any team sports played on ice. Even speed skating doesn't interest me that much. But then I happened across curling, and I thought it was really interesting.
There's a lot to like about curling, even for someone who doesn't know all the ( Read more... ) -
A treat for all my yarn-happy friends: Miss Eiderdown's Stocking
Kate Godfrey's charming and sweet Christmas story "Miss Eiderdown's Stocking" is now available as a two-part radio play. The first part of the play is already live at KnitPick and as a PDF at okaykate.com. It's free, and you don't have to sign up for anything to read or listen ( Read more... ) -
Yet another reason to like David Tennant
He's apparently the spokesperson for AICR's Don't Let Cancer Have The Last Word project. The project sounds pretty cool.

Oven Research
Last Friday, we had an oil spill in the oven. Sweety and I cleaned it out, but we saw how much crud was burned on to the oven and decided to run a cleaning cycle for the first time.
( Smoke! Stench! New ovens with features we won't use! ) -
Obnoxious casting call
I haven't posted a press release in a long time. I have no idea how I got on the list for this one. It takes up a lot of room, so I'm snipping it liberally. Yes, it's real: I'm sure they released in on April 2 on purpose. The full Web site is at http://spidermanonbroadway.marvel.comRead more... ) -
Thoughts about TV I've seen lately
Sweety and I are now watching more shows per week than any time since the kids were born. It's almost a relief that one of them is ending. Here are my thoughts on the current seasons of...
( Heroes, Castle, Lost, Dollhouse, and BSG ) -
In the interest of preventing waste, I warn you off bad (but supposedly ecologically sound) products
For a while now--probably since I first heard about the clams on Prozac problems--I've been trying to use health/beauty products that are better for the health and beauty of the the planet my children will someday inherit. (Scratch that. Those kids are hardly meek.)
Some easy replacements have been excellent; some have even made me wonder if the ( Read more... ) -
Ror-shach! Baby, Ror-shach!
Sweety and I saw the Rorschach profile on Heroes (complete with a plug that calls Rorschach, Dr. Manhattan, Silk Spectre II et al "The Watchmen," like it's a team name). Although we liked most of what we saw of Rorschach, I was disappointed to hear all the characters say "Ror-shack." I've always said "Ror-shock," and given the "raw shark" joke in ( Read more... )
