Yes, the news of Heath Ledger’s death has me a bit shaken. Sad. Tragic. After Elton has a great post that sums up some of my feelings. It was a busy day today. I picked up my new Mac but didn’t even have time to set it up. New toy, still in original packaging. I’m [...]

I just read Firebird by Mercedes Lackey. There aren’t a lot of books by Misty that I haven’t read yet, but that just means they are nice surprises when I finally do pick them up. Overall, I thought it was a delightful fairy tale. More saccharin than some of her larger works, but no less [...]

Thanks to a post from my friend Happy Green Tea, sharing her experiences listening to Cornel West speak at the University of Utah, I’ve been thinking about how I’d like to recognize Martin Luther King, Jr. Day. She wrote of West’s presentation: he was brought to the u to speak about dr. martin luther king [...]

I’ve been told by a number of people that they had a hard time figuring out how to make comments. I’ve added a new sidebar widget to the blog (upper right) where it should be easy to register and login. WordPress (and my spam filters) do require you to create an account for this site, but [...]

Oh, Senator Clinton, I don’t want to vote for you in the general . I will, if I have to, but I don’t wanna. Actually, if you secure the Democratic nomination, please don’t be too mad if I start casting my gaze around for a suitable third part candidate. I do live in California, after [...]

I just came back from watching my boyfriend James Marsden in his movie 27 Dresses. After a day of being poked and prodded at the doctor’s office, I really needed a chick flick to launch the 3-day weekend. So while everyone else fought the crowds to get in to Cloverfield (which I do want to [...]

I stopped by MacWorld after work today. It was a little underwhelming, but I did get to fondle the demo of the MacBook Air. Yes, it’s as tiny as all that. Otherwise, the best part of the experience was a demo of the newest versions of Adobe’s many programs. Did I mention that I’m getting [...]

My latest read, The Audacity of Hope by Barack Obama, is obviously both timely and a little biased. When I added the book to my giftmas list several months ago, I almost wish I’d simply run down to Modern Times and purchased it instead. There’s no way for me to assess the book without reviewing [...]

Hasbro is working with Facebook to shut down Bogglific and Scrabulous. I honestly and truly don’t know how we will pass a day at the office anymore.

Despite another rather lazy weekend, I’ve actually accomplished quite a bit. For one thing, I’m meeting one of my new year resolutions. I said that this year “I will take advantage of my fancy new health benefits in 2008 by visiting the dentist and getting routine medical check-ups.” Well, I still have to make the [...]
