• Cling tenaciously to my buttocks!

  
  Meetzorp — Authority: 112
  Apparently driving a stickshift one day re-trains me immediately. It’s pretty well established that I don’t drive much. It stresses me out, I get lost, etc. But when we were up visiting my folks, I drove Dad’s Jetta – we needed to go in to town and pick some stuff up, and Dad wasn’t up to driving, being ...

• Soup and Senectitude

  
  lathophobic aphasia — Authority: 113
  People have been making me feel old lately. The British have long claimed that you may take it as a sign of your advancing years when policemen start to look young. I can’t say I have noticed this particularly, especially as policemen are a relatively rare sight on our streets nowadays, and in any case they are ...

• Flames defeat shorthanded Rangers 3-1

  
  The Battle of New York :: A Tri-State Area Hockey Blog — Authority: 433
  Last night, the Rangers fell to Calgary 3-1 at The Saddledome. Despite a valiant effort minus centers Chris Drury (concussion) and Brandon Dubinsky (left wrist), they played well enough to win in a place that’s given them nightmares. How to describe the latest loss? Frustrating. As I alluded to late last night, the ...

  Weblog Tools Collection — Authority: 553
  WordPress rocks! (Most of the time…)    Sometimes though it can make you want to pull your hair out. Today I want to talk about that. Those times when you wish you could take a machete to it.

• Danger: Dont Come Too Close

  
  Scenic Overlook — Authority: 118
  Apparently being overscheduled makes me cranky and Im not even halfway through this 2-week whirlwind of activity. I woke up feeling seriously bitchy and its only gotten worse as the day progressed.

  So You Want To Be A Waiter — Authority: 129
  And now, for the butt end of the list: 76. Don’t assume that we have ingredient X or dressing Y in the kitchen. No, my restaurant doesn’t have dashi. No, my restaurant doesn’t offer Green Goddess. I’m sorry. If you’ve brought your own green food coloring, I’d be happy to bring you some ranch if it makes ...

• WHY? LIE?

  
  Black Girl In The City. — Authority: 103
  Music:  Girlicious // Liar, Liar Time and time again, I am reminded why I should let certain people go whom I’ve thought to call ‘friend’.

• Ghost Lusters: If You Want to See a Specter Badly Enough, Will You?

  
  Madam Lichtenstein's Cosmic World — Authority: 129
  This falls along the lines of folks who see UFOs. Skeptics will say that they thought they saw a UFO... or in this case a ghost, because they really, really wanted to see it. Maybe that is true or amybe it is not true. But that wont prevent a bunch of scientists to weigh in and make a claim. Of course sometimes their ...

  Just A Moment Of Miscellany — Authority: 127
  ... Big companies make it near impossible for you to complain to them about problems. Either its a maze of recorded phone messages or their website buries links for direct emails. ...
