Over the past week or so, as we’ve approached the second year in the second decade of this century, my Twitter feed and various other corners of the internet have been rife with statements of relief to see 2010 end. The general feeling, out their in cyberville, appears to be that this was a particularly [...]

The assistants I need.
When I was growing up, my widowed mother would occasionally announce (as she juggled far too many arrangements, schedules, and shopping trips) that she needed a wife. Occasionally, she would map out a new dating life, predicated on whatever our greatest need was at the moment (busted car? “I need a boyfriend who’s a mechanic!”). [...]

In which my utter lack of power sucks. Again. (Gulliver’s Travels edition).
Alas, many are the times that I wish I had more power. Whenever I write about Israel/Palestine for instance, or demand greater responsibility from the folks in Washington. Or today, when I’m confronting the bad reviews that greeted Jack Black’s latest offering,Gulliver’s Travels. You heard me. A couple of weeks ago, the girl announced that [...]

Bloggy holiday gifts.
Well, it may not be my holiday, but I didn’t feel any more like working today than you did! So I’ll throw up a few nice links and leave it at that: Russ King’s “Meditation on keeping Christ in Christmas” – the best, more Christian reply I’ve seen to the War on Christmas warriors yet. [...]

Couple things.
Sooo. Remember that whole “I don’t comment in my own comments section” thingie? I think I’m going to stop that. I was worried that a lot of folks would be coming here to yell n’ scream, and I didn’t want the fights. It has since occurred to me, however, that I do not, in fact, [...]

And then I got sick.
I woke up this morning really pretty miserable with a cold, so I declared a sick day. One of the beautiful things about being self-employed (though, strictly speaking, since I haven’t made a dime since November 17, I’m currently self-unemployed. Not that I’m counting) is that you don’t even have to call anyone. You just [...]

Good stuff: A land called Paradise.
I had plans to post this evening, and honestly? I’m not entirely sure I can tell you where the evening went! Dinner at my mom’s, the slow drive home through the snow, talking with the boy about what he thinks about the idea of strip clubs (… thank you, KISS FM!), planning our New Year’s [...]

Sunday (not terribly) brief: Don’t forget!
Last week I encouraged folks to list the various wares they make and sell for fun n’ profit, for the perusal of whomsoever might want to peruse. You can check out that post (“Holiday Marketplace“) in its entirety (and post queries to the various makers/writers/photographers/etc-er-ers in the comments), or you can use this here as [...]
