Some of you know I’m on Pitt’s Book Kart Drill Team (Yes, we spell Kart with a K; no, I don’t know why). We (all 8 of us) are going to the ALA competition at the ALA Conference in Chicago in July. We’ll be posting video after the event.

The new browser from Google, I love it! It has almost all the features I love about Firefox, but each tab is a completely stable browser. For example, I was opening a link to [...]

I found a great new show, RuPaul’s Drag Race (the first season just ended) and I loves it! Now y’all see why I don’t own a TV? I stayed up until 3 am watching this show on Wednesday night. It’s Project Runway meets America’s Next Top Model with drag queens. There’s less drama than I [...]

Then, Figo goes to his pillow next to the radiator in the living room.
And Lily gets snuggly in the box of batting.
And what am I doing? I’m on [...]

We started with fried shrimp (E’s first taste of shrimp!) and Abita (Purple Haze for me, Turbo Dog for E). [...]
