Newsflash – fat children existed in the 1960s. I just hate to be disappointed by one of my heroes. I recently found out that an artist whom I really admired was FaceBook friends with one of my friends. I sent the artist a friend request (with an explanation that she didn’t know me but I…
Why, oh why, oh why do Firefox and NetFlix hate each other? Does everyone have this problem? Or is it just lucky me and my computer? For most of my internet stuff I use Mozilla Firefox. I find it is the least problematic – except and until I try to use Netflix. Then I am…
(Basically, this haircut, only red instead of blond) In April, I got my hair cut into a smart bob. Prior to that I had let it grow to the wad it up and pin it on top of your head length. And I haven’t had a haircut since April. As I have bitched before,…

I open up Yahoo this morning and there’s this picture of Putin in a mini-sub that is (supposedly) headed down to the bottom of the Black Sea. Okay. Don’t know why that is so exciting but fine. Whatever. But I have one question – to the right of Putin’s head – is that a roll…
Could someone please have a talk with your deity of choice about the weather here in San Jose? It’s just too flipping hot. I HATE hot weather. I’m not a huge fan of cold weather, but if you are cold, you can put something more on. When it’s hot, you can only take so much…
I keep wanting to blog. I keep getting ready to blog. And then …. I don’t. I don’t know why. I have stuff to blog about. I just can’t get my fingers to cooperate and type it out. So it’s not like writer’s block, but my fingers are writing blocking me. So I’m trying to…
