These Are a Few of My Favorite Things

NaBloPoMo Day 30
I’ve got a lot of blogs and websites and web comics in my RSS feed.  And for this last day of NaBloPoMo, I thought I’d share some of them with you.
In the Art category, two of my favorite blogs are dot art and The Art of Madelaine.  Dotartdude creates fabulously colorful square abstract [...]

NaBloPoMo Day 29
So, it’s the penultimate day of National Blog Posting Month.  I really didn’t think I’d be able to post every single freakin’ day for a whole month.  I’m pretty sure I deserve a prize or something.
Will I continue to post here every day once December rolls around?  Um, well… maybe not.  Probably not.  [...]

Spam Comments Can Be Funny

NaBloPoMo Day 27
I don’t get many spam comments compared to other blogs, simply because I don’t have the traffic that other blogs do.  Most of the spam is pretty boring stuff.  But every once it a while, there will be one that makes me wonder what drugs the commenter was taking, or one that makes [...]

Stuff I Don’t Want to Do

NaBloPoMo Day 25
As a homeowner, I have the opportunity to do many things I have no real interesting in doing.

I could paint the inside or the outside of my house.  Some people think that I would enjoy doing this, because painting large expanses of walls and ceilings is just like painting on canvas or paper.  [...]

I Love to Read

NaBloPoMo Day 22
I really like words.  When I was a kid, I used to read the dictionary.  Yes, yes… I was a complete dork by age 10.  (And, um, I still enjoy reading the dictionary.)  Loving words and loving to read are all tied up together.
I remember that there were always books to read in [...]

The Gap Supports Witchcraft!

NaBloPoMo Day 20
Well, that’s what the wankers at American Family Association seem to think.  They’re dissing the Gap’s latest TV ad because it mentions Solstice, which is equivalent to supporting witchcraft.  Um.  Ok, whatever.  I get the impression that the AFA thinks Christmas has been celebrated since the dawn of time, and encourages their groupies [...]

My New Printer

NaBloPoMo Day 19
My old printer, which was going on five years old, has been increasingly reluctant to actually print anything.  Well, I guess that isn’t really true.  It’s been printing… just not on paper.  It started off by pulling the paper in a bit askew and finally wound up — yesterday — refusing to even [...]

Malls and I Are Incompatible

NaBloPoMo Day 16
I used like going to malls.  Something changed somewhere along the way, though.  Today, the thought of going to a mall fills me with dread.  Could be the mad crush of people, could be the fact that parking in a mall lot is a danger to life, limb and vehicle.  Or it could [...]

AT&T Says I Should Upgrade My Phone

NaBloPoMo Day 15
I’ve got a Razr 3.  It’s a spiffy reddish color.  It fits in my pocket, which is good because otherwise I’d wind up leaving it at home.  Or in the car.  Or in my backpack.  It’s fairly good for texting, which is what I mostly use it for.  I don’t talk much on [...]

My Name is Kelly and I’m an Addict

NaBloPoMo Day 14
I am SO addicted to Sudoku!  If I don’t get my daily fix, I get all twitchy.  I like to do a few puzzles first thing in the morning with my Red Bull to really wake up.  Sometimes, I’ll go through five or six puzzles in the evening to help me wind down [...]
