Saturday’s Theortical Question

I need some help here with a theoretical question. It seems as though everyone around me wants some cake.   I wouldn’t mind cake, because I generally like it but I know from past experience that it can be hard on my digestive system.   Yet, still I do like cake and there are days [...]

Get Mail

This day is killing me. It reminds me of being a teenager and hoping my ne’er do well boyfriend would call me. I’ve got several correspondences outstanding.  I think I’ve hit the ‘Get Mail’ button about twelve thousand times. On a related note, the people at Prevention dot com and Amazon dot com can bite [...]

Tort Reform: Kill All The Lawyers

except my dad, my brother and Roger Abramson. I’m prattling on about tort reform over at Mack’s place. And no word about how my position on TR directly contradicts my libertarianism. I know that it does. And I’m duly ashamed.

Dobson, Thompson & God

I had a long post all simmering on the back burner that went into much detail about Evangelicals and conservative politics with a dash of Church of Christ thrown in. But it’s Friday and I have no desire to go there right now. Maybe later in the day. Maybe Monday when all the political wonks [...]

Basking In The Reflected Glory Of Others

If I were a candy I’d be that bland, flavourless white gunk in the middle of the Bullseye, while my family and friends were the rich, gooey caramel surrounding me. There’s so much chewy goodness right now with the other people in my life. My sister has been named ‘Teacher Of The Year’ at her [...]

I guess I just figured they’d either filled the position by now or decided not to create it after all. I’ll try not to read too much symbolism in the interview [...]

Men, Do NOT Cry On TV

So yesterday they revealed the Harry Potter cover art on one of those morning shows where people sit around with coffee cups and are far too cheery for anything happening before elevenses. As part of the Big Reveal, they spoke to Arthur A. Levine who is the editor or publisher or something like that–excuse me [...]

Priorities

Look, everyone. I know you think it’s stupid that I’m moving heaven and earth to celebrate the release of a hardback book. I know you’ve got parties and events going on next July that you’d really like to have me attend. Summers are shorter now, and each weekend of July is crammed with experiences we [...]

Lost: Can You Dig It?

It’s only fair for as much as I’ve demanded from Lost that I acknowledge when the show’s creators actually pull one over on me. I’ve been griping for some time that the writers and producers don’t know where they’re going. Tonight’s episode surprised me on several levels, and it proved me wrong twice. When I [...]
