Making sure your little bride-to-be will know her way around the kitchen Look, I make no bones about how useless I am domestically. I can’t cook; I hate cleaning; when things break, I let them stay broken, etc. And I grew up playing with dolls, playing house, pretending to cook, and being the good mini-mommy-micromanager. So I guess I can’t exactly argue that a kid’s toys alone will determine the kind of adult he or…

The Truman Show is such a great movie. Seeing it reminds me of the creepy chain of events that transpired the other night that obviously proves we’re starring in our own reality show. Monday (?) night, we were taking Jamie back to his apartment when we noticed that around Highland, starting at the corner of Poplar and heading south for about six blocks, was totally dark. Even the big stores like Spin Street and Bookstar,…
Instead of editing my Brokeback Gorilla post to add more about the anti-Brokeback Mountain movement, I figured I’d just dump it here, ’cause I read this study about attention spans that said — hey, come back here! So I took a tour of Technorati to find some Brokebacklash and came upon this glinting nugget of huh? from the Albert Mohler over at Baptist Press: Acceptance of gay lifestyles is ruining friendships for boys and men.…
Today I was watching the news when CNN’s resident spitfire, Kyra Phillips, clued me in to the controversy surrounding Brokeback Mountain. I had to rub the gunk out of my eyes and do a double-take. Wicka-wicka-wha? Controversy? I haven’t heard anything but subdued interest from arty folk and the occasional “Hey, it’s actually a good movie so we’d like to give it some awards” type of pronouncements. I hadn’t seen footage of oppressed Christians picketing…
I can’t stop scrolling. I just go to a website and scroll down. Then back up. Real fast. And again, and then I move on. This mouse rules.
One of my gifts from Phil came early. He caved to my incessant “Please can I have it early?” pleas* and, lo and behold, I have a Mighty Mouse, which has rekindled my love of scrolling. *It took less than 10 minutes.
For Amber. If I had a collection, this probably wouldn’t make it in. Words In the shower I dream about words and how to move them to make pictures like a puzzle, snapping them into place, thinking, Don’t forget to write this down.
Deep inside every man is a knight in shining armor, ready to rescue a maiden and slay a dragon. When a man feels trusted, he is free to be the strong, protecting man he longs to be. Imagine a knight traveling through the countryside. He hears a princess in distress and rushes gallantly to slay the dragon. The princess calls out, ‘I think this noose will work better!’ and throws him a rope. As she…
Bizarro Carol Burnett and Jay Leno … and it’s as sparse and utilitarian as I could have imagined. The new iMacs come with a built-in camera and a program called Photo Booth, which lets you make silly pictures like the one above just by sitting in front of your computer and pressing a button. I also really love the new OSX Dashboard widgets and the Mighty Mouse. Apple, why are you constantly giving me object…
