I was unloading the dishwasher just now, long before necessary to make room for what used to be an overflowing sinkful of dirty dishes–a completely new concept around here–when it occurred to me that I should be blogging about this alien territory I have recently discovered: Clean Kitchenland.
I don’t know why I thought it [...]

I can’t believe I’m actually tempted to buy: Plush Puffs Gourmet Marshmallows. Imagine melting Peppi-Mint into your hot chocolate, or Orange Honey into your herbal tea. Yum. [thanks, Candy Addict!]

It’s starting to smell really good around here. I love turkey! And cranberries, and stuffing, and mashed potatoes… yum.
Oops–better get cleaning. What a dump!

Things I hate: police choppers that fly overhead announcing ominous news to the populace below. “There’s an escaped child molesting mass murderer loose in your neighborhood!” Except we can’t understand a word they say. Does this happen in your city, or is it just Southern California?

Sorry for the constantly changing design around here. I love the layout but can’t seem to decide on a color scheme or graphics that I like. It’ll settle down eventually… until I get sick of it again. Maybe I’ll change the colors according to the season and holiday. A Thanksgiving theme would be nice right [...]

A new study shows that meditation builds up the brain. Literally.

‘Intersex’ Fish Found Off Calif. Coast

I need to get motivated. I [...]

My Favourite FireFox Keystrokes

I just found this great Wordpress theme at Squible and couldn’t resist giving it a spin. I love the way it breaks out of the usual two or three-column blog mold, yet is still easy to navigate. I still need to customize the colors and add some graphics, but I think this is a keeper.

I don’t know when they did it, but the folks at CBS Sunday Morning have decided, in their infinite wisdom, to cut the end-of-show nature video from a luxurious 30-second spot to a pathetic ten seconds. I got so incensed about it that I emailed a complaint. I didn’t even get the courtesy of an [...]

I dreamt that Charlize Theron had a huge wart on her nose…but she refused to have it removed because it’s part of who she IS.

And we all bought into it.
