I’m a pretty passionate person and therefore, I have a hot button or two.
One is censorship in any form. (as noted by my outrage over the proposal to ban books because of the word scrotum)
Another is forcing your beliefs onto someone else…whether they be political, religious, or parenting styles.
And another is copyright infringement. Even before [...]

spring fever

I have it bad.
It’s been sunny and the temp has been in the 60s this week and I’ve been dying to play hooky.
Here is a list of my favorite spring things:
Sleeping with the windows open
Waking to birds chirping
Daffodils
The smell of the first mow of the season
Sitting on my back patio drinking a glass of white [...]
planning ahead…

This planning ahead thing is a fairly new concept for me.
The fam and I are headed to sunny Florida in two weeks. Since we’ll be gone for 11 days, the Fishdog and I have decided it might be prudent to start planning now.
So yesterday at lunch, we began to plan by making lists. Now, [...]
as if banning books could get any lower..

Sigh.
Apparently some school librarians are so shocked that the word “scrotum” appears in a Newbery-winning children’s book, that they are banning it.
“This book included what I call a Howard Stern-type shock treatment just to see how far they could push the envelope, but they didn’t have the children in mind,” Dana Nilsson, a teacher and [...]

Okay, I’ve been tagged on MySpace by Marley and Marly and now on blogger by Monica. I guess I have to play. I’m supposed to post 10 things no one knows about me. The first 5 you may have seen before when I posted “5 interesting things”.
I played on an undefeated basketball team all the [...]

I know, I abandoned you guys again. Sorry.
Work was busy last week, then I went home to meet with some former high school classmates to help plan our 20 year reunion. Yes, 20 years. Shut up.
Never fear though. I have returned with a story.
Tonight was the first of our weekly travels to Tupelo for Ian’s [...]

No, not the Prince song…I’m talking books.
There’s a wonderful interview with Lauren Baratz-Logsted posted on LitPark. Go forth and read.
Sorry I haven’t been around much, it’s a busy week at work. I’ll post more later.

Okay, first of all, I’m not a fan of award shows. I love movies and music and fashion, but I could care less about the actual show. I know, I’m a heathen. Shoot me.
Anyway, we flipped the channel just in time to see The Police reunite. Holy shit. I think I peed a little. I [...]

Don’t be hatin’ on my color pink, y’all. If I do decide to use my superpower for evil, you’ll be the first on my list.
You know who you are….
In other news, we’re taking the younglings to see Norbit today. I’m in the mood for stupid funny. Should be a good time. Has to be better [...]
