The sky is a little pink over my city tonight (Or, Happy New Year, friends)

I don’t know where to begin. So I’m not going to.
There will be no 2006 recap. No hashing out the good and the bad. This year has been - well, it has been everything. And those of you who come here every day know just how it’s been, and those [...]

Overkill

Am I the only one finding herself overwhelmed, disgusted and disturbed by the stimulus overload that is the repeated graphic video of Saddam’s execution? Saturday morning television, indeed.

But you’ll never catch me watching Emeril

Being home with a cold isn’t all bad, save the comments from the co-workers that “you sound like a frog” on the phone and the fact that you, per usual, only have diet coke and wine in the fridge and don’t want to venture out given that you haven’t showered in two full days. Cricket [...]

Ba rum pa pa pum, on my tum

JOY! has a new name, and it’s called my period.

Putting Your Code Where Your Mouth Is ** NOW WITH ACTUAL WORKING LINKS (woot!)

A few of us have been griping (I know that’s a surprise) for some time about feeling underrepresented in the Blogosphere.
