In which I talk about “National UnFriend Day” aka NUD but ask you not to Unfriend my sorry ass

November 17, 2010 mark my word: twitter will doom us all

Ah Jimmy Kimmel. My favorite Late Night Show host. (Sorry darling Wicked Shawn. I know you have the super hots for the other Jimmy. Although it pangs me to disagree with you, I believe that THIS Jimmy is so much funnier as a talk show host… Well, now we won’t fight and each have our own [...]

Don’t Judge a Book by Its Cover

November 14, 2010 a picture is worth a thousand words

I went to an actual Brick-and-Mortar bookstore today. This is a rare occasion ever since Amazon.com was founded in 1995. (I still remember when I first heard about it. “What a stupid name?! Who would buy books online?! And why would I want to buy their stocks?!”) I do enjoy going to the book stores in real [...]

Juxtaposition & Perspectives

September 28, 2010 imho is just a polite way to say I know you don't give a hoot what I think but I'm going to say it anyway

Interesting headlines today: “[From NPR] U.S. income inequality at its highest level since the Census Bureau began tracking household income in 1967. The U.S. also has the greatest disparity among Western industrialized nations. At the top, the wealthiest 5 percent of Americans, who earn more than $180,000, added slightly to their annual incomes last year, [...]

Teaching Kids Simple Words: Bees

May 17, 2010 no manual for parenting

. Here is a translation if you have trouble reading the handwriting… The question was: If you were a bee, would you be a worker, a drone or a queen? Why? My 7 year-old child’s answer: If I were a bee, I would be a worker because I get to collect pollen and nectar. He [...]

Athletes

April 4, 2010 no manual for parenting

I don’t know where my oldest gets his athletic prowess. I guess we lucked out. He started gymnastics at our park district when he was three years old because I did not like the idea of sitting in the sun, the rain, or the cold for ball games. When he was seven, he was asked [...]

You never know what’s going to remind you of your childhood…

January 26, 2010 therapy in session

My mom and dad called last Friday. Actually my mom did. Mom’s always the one that calls. And she always calls around 9 pm when it is the absolutely most friggin’ chaotic in the house. And she always pleads innocence saying she cannot figure out the time difference. And she always asks, “Have you eaten [...]

Bohemian Rhapsody. The Muppets Style. You complete me.

November 24, 2009 random

Laugh all you want. But my one favorite song, if I have to pick, is seriously Bohemian Rhapsody. I am a walking cliche, I know. I can listen to it over and over again all day long. Thanks to the invention of the Internet (Thank you, Al Gore! <– This is a repetitive trope here), [...]

“Wisconsin Tourism Federation changes name to avoid acronym” ’nuff said…

October 1, 2009 random

“The folks at the Wisconsin Tourism Federation, a 30-year-old tourism lobbying coalition based in Sun Prairie, couldn’t possibly have predicted how the Internet would change the lingo. While its abbreviation, WTF, was fairly innocuous a few decades ago, it means something entirely different these days…” News article here. Apparently the alarm was first sounded by [...]
