Ok, for those of you smart people who know them interwebs better than I do, how do I embed a blog into my own domain?

Ok, so let's see: Obama wins the Nobel Peace Prize, Marge Simpson is going to be the Playboy centerfold, and we bombed the moon.

Uh huh.

You know, from now on I'm getting my news from MAD Magazine. It seems more sane.

Fines proposed for going without health insurance.

That's right people, you can now be fined for being poor. Because, you know, that would discourage people from being poor.

Yesterday we went to the fair. I was a bit confused, wondering if we were in the right place because of the abundance of sunshine. The Kenai fair isn't exactly known for sun and sandy beaches; think more rain and large-lumps-of-low-quality-coal buried in volcanic ash beaches ( Read more... )

For years I've talked about the healing properties of M&Ms.

Now I have scientific proof.

Tonight I took Hannah into Homer and we tried a new restaurant, Try My Thai. This is apparently some quaint Asian phrase that translates loosely into bowls of hot curry flavored with different meats. For someone who normally finds cinnamon flavored candy to be excruciatingly hot this food was like being sprayed directly in the mouth with OC only ( Read more... )
