Sorry for the lack of posting today. I was busy reviewing my new Sony Reader over at The Bibliophilistines, showing off Fatshionista Tricia’s wicked Suck It, Special K project at Shakesville, and then fucking around with Gimp all afternoon to make that goofy new header, which amuses the hell out of me but is still … Continue reading »

Yippee!
(Bumping this up for those who don’t read blogs on weekends, because I’m not satisfied with the amount of Sandy love in comments yet.) Junkfood Science has been named one of the world’s top health and medicine blogs by Healthcare 100! Congrats to Sandy, who’s an invaluable resource for all of us trying to spread … Continue reading »
Good News, Bad News
The good news? I saw my first cicada (in 17 years) today: The bad news? This is where it was:

Happy News
I’m going to be a contributor at Shakesville, y’all. Eeeeeeeeeee! This is dream-come-true shit! Liss, thanks so much for the opportunity. Everybody else, get ready for a big old fat rant over there, coming soon up now!
