So, I suppose it’s the end of 2009. Yay…? I guess I could do some sort of roundup of the year. Reflect back on it. And I guess I will. But I’m hesitant to do so, because I really think New Year’s and all the hoopla surrounding it is a great big arbitrary mess of […]

I’ll admit I’ve been putting off writing this review since I finished the book last week. We’re talking about Defending Angels here, the second in a new series by Mary Stanton. I read the first one as part of Cannonball the First, I think. Maybe. I don’t know. I read it, anyway, and enjoyed it […]

and what does that make me?
It started snowing Friday night. I’d been watching the weather all damn day, and I knew that for once the predicted snow would indeed show up.

Friday Videos: SNOW, mofos
When it comes to snow, I’m about eight years old still. And it’s supposed to be a doozy tomorrow. That makes me happy. I want to make snow angels and alcoholic hot cocoa and take snow pictures and all that jazz. Also, it’s Christmas next week, in case you didn’t know. So here’s a bit […]
