Colours

I actually got to finally pick up a paintbrush today… But, even that hurt my hand… Figured you might like some details, while we plod on… The following are colour names you can find at Home Depot. They include the colours I am painting the “big” room, the kitchen, the half bath, the half bath cabinets, the kitchen cabinets, my bedroom, and my bathroom… You...

Keoki

Keoki went into the Apple hospital early this afternoon for his (hopefully) minor repair. He will be away from home for 5 to 7 days. We have never been apart that long. They wouldn’t let me leave him his sleeping case, either. I hope he understands. The timing was awesome, though, as I terrifically bruised my index finger this afternoon during construction. It is not broken, but most...

NEWSWEEK Exclusive: DSK Maid Tells Her Story for... →

I would love for our society to stop putting the victims of traumatic sexual crimes on trial. Why is it that the victim’s history is judged so harshly? If there is corroborating evidence, such as obvious DNA evidence and evidence of such sustained bodily injury, what does the victim’s past, honestly matter? Are some crimes only crimes when they happen to people that society deems...

Compassion

My best feature isn’t my eyes or my breasts… My best feature is my heart. I write that to take the long winded explanation to what I am about to say. With extremely few exceptions (less than 10 in thirty-plus years), I find it difficult to dislike someone or hate them… Mostly, I have one golden rule for people that I don’t see eye to eye with: you go your way, and I...

Keoki's Keys

Keoki is my MacBook Pro. He is, admittedly, a bit older than most spring chickens (laptops), but when I got him a few years back, he was the top of the line. Keoki and I have been nearly inseparable during our years together. So close, in fact, that he has a name, although most of my technological devices do, as well. Last night, though, Keoki began to show the wear and tear of the years. A...

Lexi's Thoughts: The First Twenty Minutes of the...

First off, the film needs more Toto. Why is Toto being blamed for Dorothy’s inability to take another path from school…. Why doesn’t Miss Gulch lock Dorothy in a basket…. Why does the Wicked Witch of the West say, “and you’re little dog, too..” What did Toto ever do to her…. I hope this movie gets better, but geeez…. it’s like poor...

P.S. Lexi might be the most adorable creature ever, but she is also a pillow thief… Wha? Don’t look at me like that… She has her own pillow… But somehow, no matter what I do, like giving her the better pillow, my pillow is, irrationally, better than hers…

I woke up about two hours ago, after conking out the minute my head hit the pillow…. I just wanted to reassure peeps that I did not have a disaster with the power saw. Getting things done in the new townhouse feels like those tasks are taking a longer time than they should be, but, we are also at the center of the storm and don’t realize how much we have accomplished until people stop by and...

There is nothing like tearing things down, so you can rebuild them to make them better… While prying off baseboards this afternoon, my mind slowed and put some events into terrific perspective… The bigger picture emerged… and I could see how events unfolded and how, they probably were meant to. Say what you want, and believe how you want, I certainly won’t attempt to...

– President BARACK OBAMA, on the unwillingness of House Republicans to compromise — even if it means preventing the country from going into default — during a White House presser earlier today. Obama said Speaker John Boehner “walked out” of negotiations, because God forbid they raise taxes on the...
