Oh, The Humanity

I just put up another Rent My Blog campaign, and already have 3 bids.
And not just any 3 bids - bids from 3 very excellent blogs (one of which is already linked in my blogroll).
But I had to make a choice. I now have 2 new blogs in my reader, and a brand new screen [...]

Surviving Christmas

I’ve been so busy Getting Stuff Done™ that I haven’t had an opportunity to write about my Christmas experience. To sum it up, I survived.
My dad showed up and the energy changed - as was expected. But we quickly got past that.
I planned to serenade my sister because she always, without fail, asks me “how [...]

Drugstore.com - The Biggest Spammers I Know

Well, maybe not the biggest, but they’re damn close.
I ordered one product from them nearly a year ago and they continue to send me e-mail for more products and specials despite my many requests to be removed from their mailing list.
When I e-mailed their customer service with my request to be removed, they told me [...]

Dude, Here’s Your Prozac…

Look, there’s another little screen shot in my sidebar - isn’t it cute? If you click on it, it will take you to a place called “Dude Where’s My Prozac?” - you know you want to go, but dude, don’t forget to come back ;).
(again, if you don’t like bad words, consider yourself warned.)

Happy Merry Chrismakwanzakah (Redux)

I want to wish you the best possible holiday season. I want you and your family to be happy, healthy, and safe. And may your lives all be prosperous in the new year and beyond.
Last year, I left you with a Chrismakwanzakah poem (well, really just a Christmas poem), so I’ll continue the tradition.

Help. Me.

You know how I said I was finished shopping? Well, I was only lying to myself.
My neighbor left me a gift on my doorstep while I was out yesterday and I haven’t gotten her a thing. To make matters worse, all the back up gifts I bought are for men, not women.
I’m worried about one [...]

Finally, It Is Done…

This year I made myself a promise to purchase all my holiday gifts online (last year I got elbowed by an old lady because we were both eying the same toy).
Let me tell you, buying online is just about as bad as buying in the stores. So much scrolling, and typing, and bad navigation. [...]

The Human Stain…

Finally saw the movie and it has only reaffirmed my belief that under no circumstances should a person ever see a movie before reading the book. Ever.
Even with its stellar cast (well, Anthony Hopkins and Gary Sinise) the movie was still doomed. It left me wanting to ask for my money back (too bad [...]

Christmas is here…

At least in my home.
It came despite my kicking and screaming. Apparently there was no stopping it. I even got a tree, and decorated it. It may be a pathetic little tree, but it’s my pathetic little tree, and Little Tiger seems to like (chewing on) it, too.

On another note, the flash on my [...]
