Not Organic and Green

October 25th, 2007 · 2 Comments · Links, Rants/Raves

Thinking about the products that we use around the house that are green (or, at least, sorta green) made me think about the products that we tried that didn’t work out for us, or the stuff we just haven’t tried yet.  And since Stephanie had her un-green confession in her blog yesterday, here’s mine: Deodorant.  [...]

Organic and Green

October 24th, 2007 · 2 Comments · Links

Yesterday, the New York Times printed a useful article that listed off five easy ways to go organic. Read it here, and then here’s the website they sourced, which makes it clear that there’s actually a list of 10 easy ways to go organic, but the NYT decided to pare it down. Anyway.  Good stuff.  [...]

I liked this set of fun color games. My “cirkels” are also goed gernaakt.  And my “driehoeken” too. I have no idea what that means.  I’m just guessing from the syntax. From the Online Photographer.

Why I Will Someday Be an Angry, Bitter Person

July 30th, 2007 · 1 Comment · Links

Interesting article yesterday in the NY Times about emoticons. Coincidentally, I used one today for the first time in months and months, possibly even years.  I don’t know why.  I was trying to convey a certain feeling, and felt like it worked in the context without overthinking it. I stopped using them when I realized [...]

Hodgepodge Post

July 12th, 2007 · No Comments · Endless Blathering, Links

Article from the New York Times about how great British candy bars are, and I TOTALLY AGREE.  I so favor British and Canadian chocolate bars over the American versions.  There’s mention in there about the mint Aero bar, which is one of my favorites, though I actually prefer Bounty bars (which differs immensely from the [...]

Things I’ve Bought That I Love

June 15th, 2007 · 1 Comment · Links, Rants/Raves

I adore Mindy Kaling and I adore her blog.  It sounds like it was written by some smarter, brighter version of Kelly, and from all accounts that accurately describes Mindy Kaling.  And that’s awesome.  I could get into a whole thing right now on how obvious it is that women television writers are really making some of the best TV [...]

Remember that Gap ad with Claire Danes and the guy from Little Children that was running nonstop a couple of months ago, and remember how you couldn’t get that song from Annie Get Your Gun out of your head? Well, listen to it once more for old times’ sake while you watch this video, which [...]
