I’ve finally decided to go ahead and do something I’ve been wanting to do for many years. It’s my gift to me – four hours of housecleaning services once a month. I have known Carolina for a few years now. She is a wonderful woman, a legal Mexican immigrant – and she helps me keep up on my Spanish. Her son went through Acute Childhood Leukemia treatment last year, and we compared notes on treatments and such. I picked her…
I’m totally fabulous, and I’ve got the proof. Beverly at Makanani gave me the “I’m Fabulous” award. And to these fabulous women I pass on the honor, because they never fail to make my day and I think they’re all amazing women. Thank you so much! I am very honored, and despite my words below (which you probably shouldn’t read) I know exactly what you mean and I love you dearly. (Happy Birthday!) I have some ideas about why my…
I usually enjoy taking the tests at Tickle, but this is the last one I’ll do, I think. They have gotten too aggressive with the Focalex ads, requiring several pages of skipping before you can take the test. There’s even an ad when you’re done. Also, they don’t provide html to post the results. I’m always fascinated by “what counts” as a masculine or feminine “trait.” It’s so culturally driven. And I often disagree. I’m 53% masculine and 47% feminine….
Now here’s some political parody that I can appreciate. Check out the satire of the Right-Wing Facebook. If it seems a little too truthful, that’s because it’s meant to get a few messages across to a sometimes under-informed American public. The Right-Wing Facebook parody site is a project by People For the American Way and RightWingWatch.org – two of my favorite sites. Rudy Giuliani Has Added You as a Friend on Right Wing Facebook 10/19/07 – At the Voters Value…
My friend Nicolae sent me a link to this Candidate Selector at VAJoe. The results were a little surprising. Comment if you find other tools like this. I’d like to compare. Your Top Match Former Alaska Senator Mike Gravel (D) 95.00% match You are number 1,172,008 to use the Candidate Calculator. Your Other Top Matches Ohio Representative Dennis Kucinich (D) – 90.00% Illinois Senator Barack Obama (D) – 90.00% Delaware Senator Joseph Biden (D) – 85.00% Middle of the Pack…
The official video for Paul McCartney’s new single “Nod Your Head” reminds me of clapping your hands at a Peter Pan show “if you believe in fairies.” [youtube width=”300″ height=”174″]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WUktwAjG2y4[/youtube] But listen to it. There is a necrophiliac conformist robot quality to the whole thing. Then I’m picturing a woman tied up, being tortured perhaps – why would someone need to “nod their head” unless they couldn’t speak? I’m picturing some sociopath saying “Yeah, baby, you can’t speak, but if…
