An article about Dr. Helen appears on knoxnews.com today. When asked about emerging trends in blogging, she replied:
The individual blogger seems to be getting scarcer and is being replaced by more professional bloggers who work for or with others. I love the individual freedom of blogging and my biggest fear is that the Internet […]
I woke up this morning with the lyrics from Duran Duran’s “Lonely in Your Nightmare” persistently beating at my brain. Much as I love D2, that cheated me out of a good half hour of sleep, so damn it, I’m going to find a way to squeeze a post out of those lyrics.
Ah-hah! […]
Next weekend the Red Bull Air Race comes to Detroit. As a member of the Andiamo Restaurant Group Mille Grazie club, I recently received an e-mail inviting me to purchase passes to watch the races from their riverfront location, with meals included.
The reality: The event looks really cool, but I’m not a particular aficionado […]
I spotted a link to the Canadian Press article, “Dad is a lout on many Father’s Day cards, but that might be changing” on Instapundit this morning. It touched a nerve because I can’t count the time I’ve wasted staring at racks of inappropriate Father’s Day cards for my dad or husband. Neither […]
Sunday mornings can be dreary for me. I usually wake up before my husband, start some coffee, turn on some crappy DIY or cooking show, and then sort through the ad and coupon sections of the paper. I check the sales, plan our dinner menus for the week, and put together a shopping […]

I found old personal photos. Hey, that’s me when I […]
I enjoy taking, finding, and sharing photos, so I’ve added a gallery onto this blog. There’s a link to it in the navigation at the top of the page and a random photo also appears in the right sidebar.
Important to note before you go there: The majority of the Gallery is safe for […]
Via Craftzine today, I found the artwork of Thomas Doyle. Wow! I have a strange and unhealthy — though non-indulged — obsession with doll house miniatures, and the little scenes he creates with train set figures are inspiring.
There’s a decent intro to steampunk in today’s New York Times. I’m a big fan of the aesthetics of steampunk — I ooh and ahh at computer mods and costumes — but I haven’t made any creations of my own. Now that the genre has been covered in the Times, I fear that […]
My husband thinks I’m the bees’ knees, but there is one area of my psyche that he cannot fathom: I watch reality-based TV shows. Only a few and, with the exception of Project Runway, I couldn’t care less if I miss a week, two weeks, or even the finale. Television is good background […]
