There’s an App for That – Jesusy Edition
Olive Tree Bible Reader http://www.olivetree.com/resources/free/ This is actually a Bible Reader for the iPhone. It also comes in Droid and Blackberry editions. It contains both the ASV and King James versions and it’s easily searchable. I whipped it out at a recent Bible Study session and found the verse we were discussing lickety split. Free. Daily […]
What Not To Wear
I’m convinced that if a woman came on there who was so large that she was unable to wear anything but a bedsheet since the Reagan administration, Stacey would stand behind her, place her hands in the vicinity of her ribcage and say, “Look how narrow you are through here.” http://tlc.discovery.com/tv/what-not-to-wear/
Millionaire Matchmaker – Most Distasteful Millionaires Ever
I’ve been sick most of this week, so this is likely too boring for words. I have mostly been sleeping and working. I did stay up for Millionaire Matchmaker. They had the most unpleasant millionaire guests this week. There was a priggish troll of a gay man and a Brooklyn drunk who was incapable of […]
I’ll take Potpourri for $500, Alex
You don’t realize how often you bow your head at church until you have a head cold that makes it feel like there is sand shifting around in there. Love this new (to me) blog I found: http://youarenotsosmart.com/ Had a blast at a big annual Halloween Party. The Cat in the Hat fell asleep at […]
So when your husband asks how long the kettle has been boiling…
He probably doesn’t want to hear, “Umm…Truman Administration?” Just demonstrating that I am living the “something shiny” lifestyle. I don’t close the spout because the whistling annoys me, but then I burn the kettle out. On the cello front, I’m currently working on Ode to Joy and Twinkle Twinkle Little Star. Watching Project Runway. Gretchen’s […]
I Know Why The Caged Bird Tweets
The wife of Liu Xiaobo, this year’s Nobel Peace Prize winner was placed under house arrest and her phone access was cut. She was able to issue twitter updates, but apparently that is gone now as well. He was instrumental in the 1989 Tiananmen Square Protest, actually preventing student deaths by convincing protesters to disburse. […]
Oh Kayne, Why Must You Be Such An Ed Hardy?
I’ve always enjoyed your music, but now when I hear you on my iPod now, all I can think of is the VMA puppy-kicking episode. I discovered that I can flat-iron the Florence Henderson out of my current haircut, so I may be able to live with it until it grows out. Getting ready for […]
Can’t Get the New My Chemical Romance Release Out of My Head
This is the “Official Lyric Video for My Chemical Romance’s first single, “Na Na Na (Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na)” from their upcoming album, Danger Days: True Lives of The Fabulous Killjoys.” It won’t be available until November, but its very catchy (thanks to my friend Meadows for steering me to […]
We Need to Talk About Zombies
I’m not sure why zombies are so fascinating, but they are. This picture was my first personal foray into zombiedom, but it seems like they just keep getting more popular. My daughter’s college even has a Zombie Corps on campus, which by her description, seems to be an updated version of Cowboys and Indians. But […]
There’s Always Room for Cello
So today I had my first ever cello lesson. So fun. My teacher is a mom I knew from the high school. She comes with an impressive resume and the recommendation of the Director of Music for the school district. And this school district has an impressive music program. Anyway, I think she had fun […]
