    Now That’s More Like It

    January 6, 2011 - By ginny

    The first comment to hit on my incoherent running-off-at-the-mouth rant was spam, for an anti-snoring device.

    Dammit, Another TV Icon Dead. What Happened To The Ocelot? #AnneFrancis

    January 4, 2011 - By ginny

    I loved the “Honey West” show as a kid, because OCELOT ON A LEASH. I wanted to be glamorous and be an action heroine too, but it didn’t work out that way. Guess the Brits must have had this show in reruns longer than we did. BBC: Honey West actress Anne Francis is dead.

    Leisure and Hubbub and hello, 11th year of the 21st Century!

    December 29, 2010 - By ginny

    I ended up getting the day off as it’s pretty slow at work, but instead of a quiet day at home with my husband David and Mr. Rileycat, working on any one of dozens of vaguely important projects, I’m bouncing from place to place in the house. The cleaning service showed up today after all (David couldn’t remember if he’d cancelled them for this week) and so they’re bustling around and I’m doing my best to either keep ahead of them (last minute cleanup job on the stovetop, catbox, dishwasher) or stay out of the way. Seems to be working…

    December 2, 2010 - By ginny

    Updated iPhone last night after getting new iPad (W00T!) and now the official app sucks again. Screen bounces from bottom to top with every character typed. Using Express for WordPress app again although have doubts that it doesn’t hit the feed right. UPDATE: It DOES hit the feed okay, at least.

    My Supplies Cycle

    November 30, 2010 - By ginny

    Oh, THERE you are, unwelcome visitor. What’s it been, since August? Then February? At this rate I’ll only have to buy “supplies” twice a year. Guess my teammates joke about “manopause” due to the excessive heat n the office was better than he knew.

    Palin’s Pallin’ May Have Lost GOP The Senate

    November 3, 2010 - By ginny

    So where it really counted – the Senate races featuring female religious fanatics like Angle and O’Donnell, Palin’s endorsement wasn’t enough. And in O’Donnell’s case, not even a Bumpit and a bunch of rabid teabaggers shouting slogans outside polling places were enough, thanks be to God. Via Palin A Loser | Talking Points Memo.

    Hope This Isn’t A Flash In The Pan

    November 2, 2010 - By ginny

    Adobe Flash is officially banned from Apple iOS software. So does that mean you can’t view Flash content on your iPhone or iPad? Well, not exactly. Beginning at 9 a.m. on Thursday morning – mark your calendars – the Apple Store will reportedly begin selling a $2.99 app called Skyfire, which effectively lets iPhone and iPad users perform an end-run around the Flash ban. via How to get Adobe Flash on your iPhone and iPad – CSMonitor.com.

    Vote Informed Tomorrow

    November 1, 2010 - By ginny

    Last time around I forgot to print off the guides to the “down-ticket” races and felt very uncomfortable voting for complete unknowns in the many, many judges’ races.

  • Insurance season is almost over, thank Dog

    Avoid health sharing plans, they're not that great a deal. A friend had one while getting some pretty serious treatment, and he struggled to get the care he needed.

    Elisabeth Yoder and her son Darragh recently experienced a huge gap in their health care "coverage." They stand in  front of the family home, and they belong to a Christian "health sharing" plan that didn't reimburse for a recent ambulance ride.

  • Charm Patch Quilt: On Point

    From Sew Can She - this looks like a great way to use up charm squares and scraps that can be at least 4 1/2-5 inches square. The contrast fabric and on-point arrangement add good visual interest without being too busy.

  • Tea Towel Hems

    Bought some tea towels for gifts, looking for tutorials for adding colorful hanging cuffs after hemming.

    I lean toward Method 1, mitred corners. Will decide once the towels arrive in case the selvage edges are good quality.

  • Sorry About The Mess: Trump Wrecking World Economy

    Post: He’s nuts if he thinks manufacturers will move to the US; they like paying rock bottom non-union wages and they’ll pass the higher costs to American consumers. Lose-lose! What can possibly go wrong?

    Since he lives in his own bubble universe, I’m wondering how long his big donors, the few relatively sane conservatives in Congress, and his “IKEA cabinet” will hold out until the murmurs behind the scenes become screaming fights in the Oval Office.

    Spine of steel? Nope. Skull of rock.

    Maury Povich lie detector meme: It says here… Trump is as dumb as a box of rocks.

    Global economy rocked again as rates on imports to the US from dozens of trading partners rose further, with China hit by 104% tariffs

  • Now Listening: Joni Mitchell | Black Crow

    Joni Mitchell album cover Black Crow. A woman is superimposed over an empty road that leads into her silhouette.

    Text:

     

    ”Black Crow - There's a crow flying Black and ragged Tree to tree He's black as the highway that's leading me Now he's diving down To pick up on something shiny I feel like that black crow Flying In a blue sky I took the ferry to the highway Then I drove to a pontoon plane I took a plane to a taxi And a taxi to a train I've been traveling so long How'm I ever gonna know my home When I see it again I'm like a black crow flying In a blue blue sky In search of love and music My whole life has been Illumination Corruption And diving diving diving diving Diving down to pick up on every shiny thing Just like that black crow flying In a blue sky I looked at the morning After being up all night I looked at my haggard face in the bathroom light I looked out the window And I I saw that ragged soul take flight I saw a back crow flying In a blue sky Oh I'm like a black crow flying In a blue sky”
