The iPagan head cheese sends out a post regarding the new George Washington dollar coins which do NOT bear the words “in god we trust” on the face of the coin. There was some cheering (yay) as most of the fine folks there believe in a secular government.
Within a couple of posts, however, the [...]
I watched the 1951 (ish) Disney version of Alice with the kids.
Okay, what were the Disney animators on when they did this production? I know that Lewis Caroll was a bit odd (and likely on something as well).
A few years ago American McGee created a video game based on a [...]
So as to not leave my loyal readership (of two!) hanging, I’m continuing my essay on the Descent. Please be advised that this will absolutely contain spoilers (who am I kidding, a plot outline!) so if you are offended by such, stop reading now!
We pick up from the point where the group, trapped underground [...]
It’s funny, really, how the girls remind me of me at different points in my life. Rose is the oldest, and is sensitive as I was as a child, but not as compliant as I was. She can throw a diva fit like I’ve rarely seen and can shriek the house down. [...]
A British horror movie called the Descent came out a year or so ago (and as usual, I just got to see it on DVD). The story, very loosely, is about a woman (Sarah) who undergoes a personal tragedy (the accidental death of her husband and daughter) after a white water rafting trip, then, [...]
I watch TV as part of my morning wake up (I get up early to go to work): frequently these are horror movies from Netflix, but for the last few days I’ve been rewatching the X-Files.
I’m amazed again at how exceptional the show was: the lighting, the music, the acting and scripting. [...]
I was driving home on Wednesday (hmmm…a theme, I’m driving…) and listening to NPR.
There had been an INS raid on a manufacturer in New Bedford, MA. 300+ folks had been arrested for being illegal immigrants. They also arrested the owners/managers. Turns out that the majority of the “detainees” are women, [...]
Sky blue pink is a color I came up with as a small child. This is the color that only occurs in the early morning and the early evening as the sun is just broaching the horizon. As a child, I had a pair of sneakers that were “light” sky blue pink. [...]
So I am driving home and pondering the odd state of things here in the US. You’ve got massive coverage of insignificant (big picture) “news” (Brittney, Anna Nicole etc) and little coverage of thins that are really crucial (like the god-awful situation at Walter Reed or the continal cutting of Veteran’s benefits by the [...]
after much deliberation I’ve joined the ranks of the blogosphere.

This is a crafter’s blog, but not.
This is a culture/rock/art blog, but not.
This is a tech blog, but not.
This is a feminist blog, but not.
