We just don’t need to hear that now do we
I couldn’t hear the song from Sweeny Todd ‘nothing’s gonna harm you†It made me sick to my stomach in a few years I’ll tell you all why but I can’t now.

You ARE the music while the Music Lasts
Well, I’m guessing it’s going to be another braindump Saturday. First things first. I got my tickets to see Max Raabe & Palast Orchester with Ben and Mike in Texas in February. I’ve never looked forward to Winter so much in my life. And a super really great email from …

“The biggest reward for a thing well done is to have done it” Voltaire
First, there is this: and another excellent version I’m blown away by both these versions . The First makes me think of Laurie Anderson, the second Kate Bush. ANYway..where have I been? For the first time ever I dropped out of a challenge. Why? Well the point was to …

Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens…
These are oh, three of my favorite things: The Victorian Trading Company : It’s expensive, but you can get pretty good deals every so often. Their Halloween stuff is most excellent. I get at least one thing every year. This year may well be the Apothecary Jars (with Poison labeling …

Heat or sun stroke? What’s the difference
So this summer, my husband got sun poisoning by being out on the lake, having the boat break down (he was with friends whose boat it was) and forgetting sunblock. What is sun poisoning? He was sick for over a week, developed blisters all along his arms that sweated something …

#wineparty is the big fun
I could not for the life of me really get twitter for quite some time. I’m longwinded. I’m verbose. I write and talk a lot. Twitter was too short and I didn’t have a lot of folks I knew on there who used it regularly. Then through someone on Reverb …

says it better than I could
http://point7.wordpress.com/2011/07/24/google-the-pseudonym-banstick-and-the-netizen-cultural-schism/ I don’t like being told how I am supposed to use technology, I like to decide for myself. Same thing happened when I was a kid—I didn’t want to build a house, I wanted to build the Enterprise. SO? I’d rather use a handle than my real name …

"The time has come," the Walrus said, "To talk of many things: Of shoes–and ships–and sealing-wax– Of cabbages–and kings—~ Lewis Carroll
I can’t believe I’m putting this picture on the intarwebz considering how much of a freak out thing I have about seeing unsolicited feet, but… I bought some bespoke shoes after years of looking at shoes/boots like these at various faires as a playtron and participant and after purchasing some …

Forward this, otherwise tomorrow morning your underwear will turn carnivorous~Billy Connolly
I hate chain letters. I hated them when they came through snail mail, back when I was a kid and I hated them when I’d get them on compuserve. I hated them back in the concentric days and I hate them now. Cannot believe people forward things that say “you’ll …

For a dime you can see Kankakee or Paris ~Lydia The Tattooed Lady
“When talking about tattoo culture in the United States, it has personally become difficult for me not to think about gender and its role in the culture. Why is it so astounding for society to witness a tattooed woman in this supposedly modern day and age? Then there are other …

I got nuthin
Just watchin TV, reading on my kindle, cleaning the house and wondering about interviewing. Just got Spotify set up. Trying that one out. Different than Pandora, but that might be good. After awhile several of my stations started to sound much alike. Only two weeks left of vacation. …

I’d choose the thing that’s beautiful more than the one that’s true. ~Laurie Anderson
What is it that makes us grow up. What if we never do. What if we like the same things we liked and what if we don’t? What if we wish we could do it all over and what if we don’t? Why would we spend the late late night …

sick kidlet today
nothing much else to say. Playing with Google+, tweaking settings on my blog. Looking forward to having friends over for a cookout tomorrow. I did figure out that one goal for the next year is to live more and be consumed with work a bit less. More balance. I can’t …

Running out of words
As usual, I am at the halfway point and I’m running out of words. And as usual, thinking of dropping out of 30 posts in 30 days. And as usual I’m having issues with my site—Mainly an automatic wordpress upgrade went through, around the same time as an ‘upload later’ …

Bean’s day of extra Beany goodness.
So we signed Bean up for a camp but she was having trouble connecting with one of the counselors and got into some mean girls situations. We had a long talk, J the Bean and I and we discussed both perserverence and cutting your losses. After all—the camp thing was …

It’s easy to cry "bug" when the truth is that you’ve got a complex system and sometimes it takes a while to get all the components to co-exist peacefully. ~Doug Vargas
Well I have to weigh in. I have great hopes for google +. The interface is cleaner, the privacy controls are MUCH better and while there are things to work out (that’s why it is a Beta folks!) it is relatively fully formed from the get go. I understand why …

I cannot take any more; I’m so glad that I’ll never fit in; That will never be me; Outcasts and girls with ambition; That’s what I wanna see — Pink from the song Stupid Girls
So some of the crazy girl shit has started. One girl lies about something my daughter said (but she didn’t) to another girl and then they tell another and suddenly she’s ganged up on. Or instead of saying oops a girl blames the Bean for her mistake. And how about …
