Feel Good Friday

I’m a bit late to this, but on this friday I think that we must (of course) feature something by The Stones. And what better Stones feature than my all-time favourite Stones song: (Can you tell I’m in a bit of a mood?)

Oh, THAT! (Thank God For Books)

It is slightly bumming to me of late that I am not the person I used to be. I just got done reading a bunch of blog entries where people were taking their bikes out on greenways and whatnot and riding gleefully and being out and it occurs to me once again that the ways [...]

Get A Grip, Celebrity Worshippers

I’ve been working on a semi-top secret project for the last couple of weeks. (Semi because I told my husband, sister and Slartibartfast about it.) Part of this project involves research into some fan boards for various reality shows. I was reading one today and came across this nugget: even plained [sic] on making them [...]
