Ran across this nifty article on CNN telling of freaky whistles that they found buried in the hands of a skeleton. I’m pretty sure that the baby across the courtyard is simulating the whistle of death when s/he screams in the afternoons. Anyway, it’s an interesting look at death rituals of the Aztecs – I [...]

One year ago today I worked my last shift in St. Louis. It doesn’t feel like it’s been a year. Ok, I’m very sleepy, off to be lazy before I go a-walking.

Today was a great Saturday. First off, the weather was perfect. We drove into downtown San Jose and walked around a bit in the nice weather and found a place to eat lunch. A place where I could actually eat some chicken wings (not the best but hey, wings!) and Drew could watch the Sox [...]

For some pretty heavy stuff – his bail’s set for $21 million. But my FAVORITE part of this? He told people that he was the Chief [...]

Went to meet my husband for dinner tonight – left the apartment after 7pm – and came back after dinner and groceries to this:
Yes, that’s right, the UPS (?) guy took the 2 boxes I was waiting on, moved them to the side of the door, and covered them with my little square doormat. The [...]

1. I received a surprise $50 iTunes belated birthday gift from a friend recently. Nice! Anyone have suggestions on how to spend it? I’m tempted to blow it not on music, but on movies/TV shows.
2. BEFORE I got the awesome gift, I’d pre-ordered the new Coldplay album. I didn’t buy their last album X&Y [...]

Anne Hathaway, on making out with Steve Carell, in “Get Smart” (which my stupid husband got to see a free sneak peek of last night – without me):

There are so many Etsy stores that i’d blow insane amounts of money on if I had insane amounts of money. I did though, recently make my first Etsy purchase, from the lovely Courtney. Courtney makes jewlery and other things from found objects and sells them at Twisted. I’d been eyeing some bracelets for awhile [...]

Saw this on the Attack of the Show podcast and almost fell off the couch laughing. And it combines two of my favorite things. Just enjoy. It’s even good with no audio.
