Three Reasons Why I Can’t Do Thursday Thirteen This Week

I still have security issues and can’t post comments on OBB (other bloggers’ blogs), or

Worse, I can comment, but the comment disappears soon after, causing apparent linky rudeness.

It’s the last day of school, here, and I will be up to my eyeballs excavating three packrats’ lockers.

Tellin It Like It Is

A couple interesting things today.
First of all, I’ve never seen Firefly, but will soon. And guess what? They’re developing it into an MMORPG.
Second, I got the contents of this link in my inbox this morning.
I think this list of 200 Sleepers and Keepers is something everyone should pay attention to for more reasons than I [...]

Things I Learned This Weekend

Life may come to a screeching halt, but laundry never does.
Small boys find bumperstickers hysterical. Like “If you don’t like my driving, stay off the sidewalk.”
Microsoft Word’s Track Changes function operates on a set of rules understood by no mortal man nor beast. Beware the keyboard-stomping cat who wants to be fed, for it can [...]

Vista Cooties

I’m not sure if this is a :whine: or a justifiable :whatthe: type deal, but ever since this latest Vista update, my security settings have gone utterly guano.
Right now, I can’t even comment on my own dang blog. I can post, but not comment. So I am throwing myself an itty-bitty pity party [...]

We Don’t Know From Drama

But this girl definitely does. If there were such a thing as drama jedii, this kid would be Master CryGon Jinn.
:drama:
BERLIN (Reuters) – A nine-year-old German girl was so upset about having to tidy her room she put up a sign in her window urging passers-by to call police for help.
Pedestrians in the central city [...]

Without A Paddle

I think the braincell died. Too many things going on, too many stories fighting for top billing, a to-do list six miles long, nowhere near enough sleep…
I need to invest in one of those personal defibrillation devices with really teeny paddles.
CLEAR!

Things I Learned This Weekend

I have a serious — and inexplicable — crush on Alan Tudyk.
Taking three children to a crowded local theater on Shrek lll’s second night of release is not, in fact, the best thinking ever.
Certain emergency situations can arise where replacing the toilet seat before your husband gets home is the only solution.

The Beauty of Obscurity…

The beauty of obscurity is, I get to say things like this.
When attempting to pioneer an industry:
Smile serenely.
Work diligently.
Cheer vehemently.
Live professionally.
Behave charmingly.
Weep privately.
Breathe deeply.
Sweat invisibly.
Bleed silently.
Now that I’ve said it, come over to the Romantic Suspense Blog. Today’s my day to post, and it’s a doozy.
