I don't journal much these days. That's okay ( Read more... ) -
Food Thoughts
I read a lot about food: politics, health, social implications. I have a weird obsession with cookbooks, but I don't much care for cooking shows or magazines. I don't call myself a foodie, probably because I just don't like the word.
Recently, I've become overly interested in detoxing, trying no fewer than three differing approaches to detoxing ( Read more... ) -
Meaning is to Word as Analogy is to WTF
"If guns kill people, then pencils misspell words." This clever soundbite has shown up on my Facebook multiple times this week in the aftermath of the shootings in Tucson and the resulting discussions of gun control.
