Writing
A Very Shiny Review of The Words
Really enjoyable movie. The structure of the movie was unexpected, a sort of story within a story within a story. (yes, I know Inception already did that) I won’t be spoiling anything by telling you that it’s the story of a struggling young writer who finds a manuscript and passes it off as his own. […]
Why I’m Slowly Moving Away From Facebook
I’m slowing moving away from Facebook for a variety of reasons. Top of the list is that I’m not crazy about what a corporate juggernaut it is becoming. Going public never really improves the quality or customer service of a product. Facebook has got it’s place. It’s a great place to keep in touch with […]
How To Be An Awesome Blogger.
Blog. Seriously. I haven’t posted since July 22. Two weeks. No excuses. I have surely had time to write at least something brief. Although, to be fair, I am participating in Camp NaNoWriMo AND reading Hemingway‘s face off. I spend entirely too much time reading (Problogger) planning (The Blog Herald) strategizing (Copyblogger) …about blogging […]
Must Read: The Pintester
Here is yet another post based on Pinterest. This particular blog is a very funny woman who tests the improbable crafts, etc found on Pinterest. She is very funny and sweary and definitely worth a visit. The Pintester If I may step on my soapbox for a moment, I have noticed a few political pins […]
My Favorite Nora Ephron Movie

I’m Not BranchingOut and You Can’t Make Me

I am currently on: Facebook Linked In Twitter (as is my dog @spenserthedog) MySpace (pretty much dormant) Pinterest Google + (still waiting for the +) Goodreads Letterboxd Wordpress Blogger Digg Spotify Sound cloud Klout StumbleUpon But for some reason, […]
Pinterest Ate My Blog
Seriously. If you are not familiar, Pinterest is a visually lush Internet time suck. So instead of updating my blog, I spend my days posting or “pinning” pictures of pretty clothes or purple hair or cute puppies to a virtual bulletin board. I have a variety of boards which I’ve titled things like Awesome Hair […]
The Yankees are the Prada Handbag of MLB
Nice to look at, well put together, but too expensive for regular folk. I saw Moneyball last week. Great movie. I went with my husband who is a HUGE Bill James fan. I should have made him wear a bib (my husband, not Bill James). I used to buy my husband a stack of Bill […]
