• Giving More Than Thanks

  
  Kestrel's Aerie — Authority: 119
  Tomorrow, the United States celebrates Thanksgiving. Originally a religious holiday, it has become much more secular over the past century or so. In doing so, however, it has also become, in my view, a much more revered holiday. 1 Christmas has become way too commercial (the day before Halloween, I was in a home ...

  Chili Dog Blog — Authority: 130
  Yesterday Toledo City Council passed an ordinance outlawing using a text messaging device while driving. Add that to the growing list of useless laws that are virtually impossible to enforce, to the list of wastes of public resources, and to the list of government telling us to not conduct a specific behavior that ...

  Vulpes Libris — Authority: 496
  Stalin’s Nemesis came to me very highly recommended: a Radio 4 Book of the Week, it had met an enthusiastic reception in very diverse quarters. Richard Overy at the Literary Review liked it. The Socialist Party , with some reservations, liked it. Tariq Ali liked it, although I half suspect he liked it in ...

• Five Months

  
  Beth And Her Kooky Projects — Authority: 119
  My little boy is five months old today. I dont tend to talk about him much on this blog, but that doesnt mean that I am not obsessing or swooning over that little guy every waking moment.

• Detecting

  
  every day I lie a little — Authority: 115
  The reason I want to write a detective novel: They are about finding things out.

• On Femme Invisibility

  
  Sugarbutch Chronicles — Authority: 505
  G at “Can I Help You, Sir?” asked about femme invisibility recently, and the topic has gone around the gender/queer blogs a bit, with some great posts and thoughts. First, and probably most obviously: I am not femme. So I am writing from a perspective of having dated and known many femmes in my life, but I do ...

• I’m On A Boat A Cappella

  
  Deep Sea News — Authority: 496
  Kevin and I are big fans of  I’m On A Boat and the internets are full of parodies of this parody (Bert and Ernie ver., Office ver., English Channel ver., I’m On A Bus ver., I’m In A Tux ver., Hard Rock ver., and so on).  Those are find and dandy, but they pale in [...]

  Hello, kiddies. Welcome once again to Winter (at least here on the right coast)… We’ll see how it goes.

• DOGGONIT I LIKE TWILIGHT!

  
  NECROTIC CINEMA — Authority: 108
  I like Twilight. I do not go gaga over the film but I have seen it more than once and enjoy it.  I have not read the books and to be honest I have never read a horror book other than Edgar Allen Poe and H.P. Lovecraft stuff. I remember trying to read some Stephen King back in the early 90’s when everyone I knew was ...
