I saw this first over at Bitch, PhD. Today it keeps popping up on my WordPress dashboard as one of the most-linked sites. Scott Eric Kaufman is trying to measure the speed with which a meme travels and how it moves — among minor blogs,
from megablogs to their fans, etc. I’m not [...]
Please make up your mind whether you are going to act like a jerk or like a decent human being toward me. I can deal appropriately with whichever one you select, but this business of switching back and forth is for the birds.

This afternoon I was searching online for any companies in my field that might have openings in this region. Any companies that I haven’t already applied to and possibly interviewed with. And then Nate woke from his nap, a thing he almost never does before a good three hours have passed.
So I went [...]
Because fudging your timestamp is against NaBloPoMo rules… but editing your post after midnight isn’t. And I’m afraid the electricity (and with it the internet) will go out soon, here. The lights are already blinking with the storm.
Editor’s Note: I did indeed finish the post I was working on and post it at [...]
Yesterday’s post was brief, but at least it linked to a comic I like. Today’s is going to be utterly worthless, because dealing with both a minor cyberstalker and a mysterious presumptious and rude message from my ex are leaving me more than a little disinclined to blog at all today. Sheesh.

Turn around and back up the last three feet.
Lean against his knees. Wait for him to lean down and hug you.
When he leans down, reach up and wrap one arm around his neck. Blow kisses into the air.
Let go and run back [...]

Bite a French fry.
Burn your mouth. Drop the fry, and flap your hands in the air so Mama will notice your burn.
At Mama’s direction, pick up a fry and blow on it.
Bite it again. Still too hot. Drop the fry on your plate.
Oh, look! Ketchup has appeared on your plate!
Dip [...]
I am a science geek at heart. I don’t have the training I need to understand everything I want to — but I suspect that would still be true if I had PhDs in biology, physics, chemistry, ecology, and several others. So I confess, the stuff that makes me say squee isn’t some ubercool blog [...]
The Molly Bawn Chronicles
Molly’s blog is the simple and sweet journal of an Irish-raised woman. Where many personal blogs fall into the trap of trying to seem hip or trying to interest a larger audience, this one is appropriately low-key, and while no one entry is necessarily riveting or laugh-out-loud funny, several of them taken [...]
