Well isn't that interesting. Wonder what I ought to do here. Maybe I'll post photos or something later on, after I clean the house. Maybe I'll tell you all about the nasty dog hair balls under the bed. At least as fascinating as an Ann Coulter rant.

What’s with the endless left-wing commentary about Ann Coulter’s appearance and gender? It’s just as bad as her nonsense--anyone who keeps harping about the Coulter's appearance is chugging down the same vile track she follows. After all, Coulter's the one who goes on and on about Hillary Clinton’s legs and Monica's weight. I don’t want to hear about her appearance.** She’s a hate-filled person who attacks individuals who don’t agree with her, assigning them horrible motives, mocking them, and even worse, mocking their tragedies. That’s more than enough reason not to want to watch her. It’s certainly more than enough reason to complain when she’s given air time on so-called “news” shows.**** Okay, enough maturity: Every time I see her flip her hair, I want to throw something through my television set. Which is exactly the sort of response what she craves. I've put myself on a No-Coulter regime. I shouldn't even mention her here, but I accidentally watched her talkin...

What a mess of a movie. The kids loved it. I thought it was too, too much, but heck, I'll take Johnny Depp overplaying himself overplaying a pirate, any day. Lots of silly strange bits that made me think the writers should have laid off the acid. No, I don't mean the crabs and Johnny Depp losing his mind. I mean the pieces of 8 going to the 9 and the hoodoo voodoo weirdness. You know, the basic plot stuff. Message of the movie: better to live with mayhem than with corrupt business interests (even if they run a tidy, controlled world). I choose to see the movie as a plea for internet staying out of corporate hands. Let the strongest voices win. So? Work for you? Fine interpretation--except that every time they had a big scene with a huge set piece, like Singapore or the rocking pirate ship, I thought so that's gonna be a ride at some Disney set up, eh? Bet that rocking, overturning pirate ship will be a ride (buckled in so you don't fall out when it goes upside down), al...

The first book is by a sort of pal so you can forget me telling you the title. The second is The Duke and I , a bestseller by Julia Quinn. See? I did a name for once. I don't know Quinn but I know that a little whine in a tiny blog is not going to harm her sales. I should have enjoyed both books, but my experience with them is further proof that I'm turning into a cranky old biddy. The repetition of a word and an action turned me off. I finished them, but only because I paid full bucks for 'em. No, that's not true of my pal's book. I wanted to know what happened in that one. I don't blame the authors entirely. Every writer has a word or two they latch onto and I think it's almost impossible for the writer to find the damn word if there's not enough time between deadline and final copy edits. Someone else has to seek out and destroy that word. Okay, sure the writer ought to see it, but she's really not the trained editor, right? Come on, work with me ...

1. the squeaky penguin dog toy. 2. the "change your voice" megaphone. 3. the plastic drum and mariachi set 4. a couple of the wooden ninja swords. 5. The electronic robot that beeps every two seconds exactly like a smoke detector losing power. 6. Battalion Wars video game that features "brigadier betty" and other cutsey pie characters. I think it's designed to train the under ten set to raze a village and blast cutsey pie enemies. Spooky. If you're going to blast your enemy into little bits you and they should not look like sweet lil big-eyed punkins. And I don't like the music **They met (or will meet) mysterious ends. Whoosh! Vanished as if swept off the face of the earth. Or broken. No, of course not. I would never be so underhanded.

from a dailykos conversation about transgendered people: There is no THEM there is only us. Robert Coles, in his work on the moral life of children, says that this is one of the key distinctions between moral and not-moral children: The moral ones know there is no 'them'. from the same conversation: person one: A stubborn person with OCD can do anything. person two: a stubborn person with OCD can do anything except stop.
