It’s lunchtime, ladyblogreaders, and it’s time again for the lunchtime poll. Let it all hang out today, friends, and tell me the most embarrassing song on your mp3 player/playlist/whatnot. Mine? It Takes Two, by Rob Base.
I thought I’d write a few posts over the next week or two about hosting and attending holiday parties. This time of year, people’s calendars (and stomachs) fill up with one party after another. (I personally tend to lose track of dates and locations, and during the month of December I wish more than ever […]
The term “Cynic” itself derives from the Greek word kynikos, “dog-like” and that from kyôn, “dog“ (genitive: kynos).One explanation offered in ancient times for why the Cynics were called dogs was because Antisthenes taught in the Cynosarges gymnasium at Athens.
I am writing this while still clad in my sweaty, stinky Zumba clothes because I am just that pumped to write about my experience. I have been interested in trying Zumba forever, but it wasn’t offered at my old gym. I have also been a little nervous that I would look like an idiot. At […]
Good morning again, readers. Hope it was a great night and you’re gearing up for a great weekend. We’ve got a pretty full day ahead of us, glad to have you along for the ride.
Good evening, Persephone friends and neighbors. It’s Thursday night, it’s cold outside and I’m brewing up a big pot of chili for dinner. I hope all of you have a delightful evening ahead of you as well. Today at the mag, the writers were amazing and the words were flowing.
Bunny is 28, the same age as me, but she is significantly more busted up than I am. In stuffed animal years, 28 is like 110 people years. Even though 90 percent of her stuffing has fallen out and she’s not as corporal as she once was I just mush her up into a ball […]
There is no greater joy in the life of a kid than a snow day. Waking up for school and looking out the window to find a growing mound of snow taller than your head, waiting impatiently by the radio through the long list of closures and delays to hear whether your school has made […]
A couple of weeks ago I read Buster Blonde’s article, Girl Haters I am on to You, and I haven’t been able to get it out of my head.
It started like it always does–this week something random piqued my interest, I clicked over to Wikipedia, that informational dump that always leads to more things piquing my interest, and the next thing you know I’m looking at all the Robert Mapplethorpe pictures I can find (not just the nudes) and ordering Patti Smith’s autobiography […]
Happy Chanukah, everyone! No matter how you like to spell it, it seems to have come pretty early, starting last night at sunset. It gets an amount of attention around this time of year disproportionate to its importance on the Jewish calendar, probably so that Christians can pretend that they’re more inclusive an accepting. I […]
I have been writing about this on a few sites on the interwebs and quite a few people ““ especially outside the EU ““ seem interested in the subject. Denmark, the little fairytale country with free health care and education, should it really also be the country of a badly hidden racist agenda?
The War on Drugs soldiers on, but it’s safe to say that public awareness of and support for the campaign to legalize marijuana is growing, especially regarding medical marijuana (MMJ), which represents something of a “gateway drug” to across-the-board legalization.
You may start to think that all I do is watch television– what, with the weekly Parenthood recaps and now branching out to the new show on Fox called Raising Hope. I’ll let you in on a secret: On Tuesday nights, I do plop down at 8pm and try my hardest not to get up […]
I recently heard someone describe himself as a “born-again artist” and I have decided that I am totally stealing his line. Here’s the story…
