Over Well, Please!
I am not a technical person, so pardon my limp explanation. For some years now there has been an experiment going on at Princeton U- called the Global Consciousness Project. They monitor the Internet for blips and such to collect data on what we’re talking about. A red “egg” is bad because it [...]

Fashion Club Meeting is Called to Order!: I never thought I’d defend Hillary about anything, but she’s taking a lot of heat from television comedians and columnists about her pantsuits. So, what do they want her to wear? I can’t see her campaigning in a chiffon dress with matching beads! Nobody is on McCain [...]

Also remembered for “Wonderful ‘65 Love Affair” and a [...]

Another technological leap! Netflix offers a “Watch Now” service and I finally used it. Watched the first two episodes of the “new” Doctor Who on the computer. I sat in the computer desk chair working on the sock I just started. Pretty cool. Our monitor is about five years old, and it’s probably obsolete. But [...]

(I was checking my little map and I haven’t had any visitors from South of the Equator! Probably because this blog is in English, but let’s see if having a Spanish greeting will encourage visitors.)
Malt O’Meal Recall! OMG say it ain’t so! The good news is my all-time favorite hot cereal isn’t in the recall. [...]

After watching the rest of the Love Boat dvd last night, I find I’m a bit stuck in the 70’s!
Today’s blog theme is, “Rock and Roll Friday, 1972″ Looking for fast, easy references I found this list of the top 100 songs of 1972: http://www.musicoutfitters.com/topsongs/1972.htm

It was 16 degrees this morning (-16 Celsius!) 57 in the house! I keep seeing that commercial with Joe Kennedy (son of Bobby) touting the free heating oil from the “people of Venezuela”. I just see it as a ploy of Hugo Chavez to point out that there are still cold, hungry people in America. [...]

This blog is going to collapse on itself if all the YouTube videos disappear! This morning I was looking for Christmas carols. This is not one.
This is the first time I’ve seen this gal. Her name is Ruslana. She’s from Ukraine. She won the Eurovision song contest in 2004, and records in English too. Her sound and [...]

I’m cold and I’m pissed about it! Our electric company doubled their rate per kilowatt hour, so since we don’t want double the bill we’re trying to be careful. Like wearing my fleece jacket in the house careful. Blah. We got the bill for the last 30 days and it’s a doozer. The average temperature [...]
