Who We Are and Why

04.24.2008

Life is pretty lonely these days, for all of us. If you’ve taken a psych or soc or polysci course, you’ve heard the term anomie. Our society has fragmented and our connections have frayed over the past century or so, and we are each of us left alone with a very personal drive for meaning, [...]

In which I cry UNCLE and admit to being defeated by code…

09.30.2006

I’ve given up.  Maybe if I hadn’t taken a full-time job (for the first time years), I would have been able to fasten my slightly damaged brain around the intricacies of code.  But I can’t.  I know what I want my web site to look like and do.  I even have said site established at [...]

The truth about growing up

09.28.2006

Formerly, when I was a reasonably young person, there were certain things about reasonably older people that I could not understand.  Like, the slipping eyeliner bit.  A well-groomed woman of a certain age, who was bandbox (i.e., model) perfect–except that the eyeliner on that one eye was askew.  Just a bit, but enough to notice. How could she? Didn’t [...]

Ugly Betty, a review of sorts

09.28.2006

  It’s thirtyfive minutes into the first show and I’ve got the sound turned off.  That’s my review.  Don’t we have enough nastiness in the world, what with Darfur and Iraq and Pakistan and Fundamentalists of all stripes, without TV producing another 60 minutes or so?

L’shana tova…

09.25.2006

Here I am in the land of almost-no-Jews and at work on Friday, I felt compelled to go around and say to various people “Happy New Year to me!”  Some just looked blank; a few said, ‘Yeah, yeah, it’s that holiday for you, isn’t it.”  Yeah, yeah, it is.  I found a nice little synagogue [...]

Potpourri – Fall version

09.19.2006

1. I got suckered into attending a Christians for Israel evening on Sunday, and I’m still mad.  At myself, mostly, for not trusting my instinct that the whole thing was a disgusting right-wing, fundamentalist scam.  Which it was and is.  Blech!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 2.  I’m trying to be more present in my life.  Doesn’t that sound disgustingly [...]

Website Woes -

09.17.2006

Jesus H. Christ, what does it take to create a website in Yahoo with a blog by Movable Type?????  I have been working at it for days and short of unscrewing my laptop and digging in with my hands–okay, yes, I know that won’t work.  But the urge is there.   The problem is that when [...]

Rock Star Supernova

09.13.2006

Okay, I am well and truly pissed.  That skunkhead, Lukas Rossi, won.  The guys picked him over Dilana.  I was actually considering going to their concert, but I cannot stand the weeney boy.  I literally cannot listen when he sings because he is so grotesque.  The sight of him prancing actually makes my retinas ache.
