The Universe has an amazing way talking to us. When we allow our mind to be open, everything around us tell us something. It is how we want to listen to the cue and make it works. It is how we want to accept the subtle message and let it be a guiding illumination. It is how we analyze it that will...
On October 1st there was an article on School Library Journal online by Anita Silvey that got Children's Literature people and Librarians buzzing. (Those of you not interested in Children's Lit. can take a pass on this entry). It criticised ALSC's Newbery Award for not picking books kids like to...

I'm gonna live-blog the Oscars for as long as I can stand them tonight! Which may not be very long, given the incredible horror of Barbara Walters that I already withstood, and now Regis Philbin is talking on the red carpet. Holy crap I may not make it through this! George Clooney on why people want...
So here we are friends, 29 days down, 100 to go. That’s 4 weeks, 14 to go. That may seem like a lot for you, but for me time is flyin’. Since we last left our heroine, things were not exactly magnificent, but they have taken a turn for the better. Valentine’s Day came soon after my last post,...
On Sunday, September 21, 2008, my little (and only!) sister got married! Jane and Brandon said their vows at Hamilton Baptist Church then celebrated with family and friends at beautiful Whitehall Estate in Bluemont, Virginia. So now she's Mrs. Linton. This is very weird to me, but I suppose it's not...
Hey so it's Kelly Taylor here. I'm a little bit wary of the whole blogger thing, but here we go. I'm going to start with the question of what all of us girls wonder. So, like, are you slutty if you give it up too fast? Do boys actually date girls who give it up fast? Or do you have to wait it out. I...
It's the weekend finally, so time for an update. Shopping first. I do think I've been fairly good these couple weeks; most of my spending has gone to food and other household necessities. Last week I was at the Chapel St MAC Pro shop and left with 3 pigments, Acid Orange, Green Brown and Kelly...

I need to call a TV technician to fix the antenna on the roof. After my wireless internet got fixed, the TV's now are almost "unwatchable". The pictures were blurry, but anyway, watching TV these days won't bring nothing but sadness and pessimism. I watched news this morning and they reported that a...
When I started my real estate class waaaaay back in April, I also started smoking again. After having been a non-smoker (and proud of it!) for 3 years. I said "When I pass my real estate class, I'll quit." And as part of the bargain/incentive, Mic-t said he would pay for HALF of my next tattoo....

Well. I will probably have to fire the new guy I had hired to replace the Woman I had to fire. He's not doing his job, and creating quite a stir with other employees, and sleeping on the job! GRRR. Having a good weekend with laura. Buying some business casual items of clothing, and eating good...

I'd like to congratulate all of the Nigels and Simons who work on American Idol for actually putting together a finale that entertained me. Sure, yes, I taped it because I wasn't home when it actually aired, allowing me to fast-forward as I pleased, but you know what? For about 95% of the time, I...
How do you beat writer's block? Submitted by marvel is my pen name. I'm not really sure I believe in Writer's Block. There is "I don't really feel like writing, but admitting that doesn't sound as dramatic and serious as 'I'm suffering from writer's block.'" And there's "I really want to write. In...
