Finally. I was all ready to start serious gardening on the balcony. I just needed some compost to liven up the used potting soil I’ve been saving since my first rather sad garden three years ago. But the car was still out of commission, waiting for the government’s stimulus payment to pay for repairs. How [...]

Who’s that naked woman in Vice President Dick Cheney’s sunglasses?

Why, it’s NakedJen, of course!

I’m depressed. Or maybe it’s an anxiety attack. I have a hard time telling the difference.
Whatever it is, it hit me like a USPS truck when I opened my mail this morning and discovered an unexpected doctor bill for $164. Doesn’t sound like much, but combined with all my overdue medical bills dating back [...]

I had to look at the new theme for a few days before deciding whether to keep it, and it grew on me. [See links at the bottom of the page for designer info.] It’s simple, with a few flourishes.
I’d like to say that’s me–simple, with a few flourishes–but I don’t have any flourishes. [...]

Today we are… says her hair is almost as high as the Christmas tree, but it looks almost flat compared to two roommates I had back in ‘65. They were sisters, hairdressers and Dolly Parton clones - minus the big bazooms [...]

Aphex Twin’s Rubber Johnny video. Holy crap.

[Update: Now my son tells me, "Oh yeah, Rubber Johnny. That came out in the 90's." Where have I been?]

Thanks to that’s how it happened for the link.

Alfonso Cuarón, director of “Children of Men”, and Naomi Klein, author of “No Logo”, present a short film from Klein’s book “The Shock Doctrine: The Rise of Disaster Capitalism.” Here’s an excerpt from the book.

Now it all makes sense.

Would an iPhone fit, or does he need to stretch his earlobe as well as his budget?

For any family members or friends who might want to show me how much they love me BEFORE I DIE, I’d just like to remind you that my birthday is TWO WEEKS FROM TOMORROW, and this is what I want. I know she’s a little on the pricey side, but think about ALL I [...]
