[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yZtTd3vmjws This is another serious blog topic today at After Hours, about the Charlie Sheen train wreck. It’s what everyone’s talking about — tiger blood, “bi-winning,” his bitchin’ life, the drug that is Charlie Sheen. He’s the butt of every joke — there’s the Live the Sheen Dream site, and the quiz in which you…
Wear pink! We’ve all seen the signs, and many of us have worn pink clothing and ribbons each October during Breast Cancer Awareness month. But dress in blue? What’s that all about? Last April,in a post here entitled, The One We Don’t Like to Talk About, I announced that I was a one year colon…
I’ve got this nasty cold – started with a headache last Thursday, turned into a cough on Sunday, and has saddled me with an extremely runny nose today. While the cold’s disadvantages are obvious (feel bad, get no housework done, husband has escaped to the guest bedroom, can’t go to the gym), right now I…
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VKo-GBt5M0U It may be silly, but I really love awards shows– especially the Awards Show of All Awards Shows, the Oscars. I hardly ever see many of the nominated movies (I think this year I’ve seen Inception and Black Swan… and that’s pretty much it), but there’s something so uplifting about seeing these men and…
I saw this on Engadget the other day, and thought it was pretty cool. Basically, a Swiss photographer named Corinne Vionnet searched the Internet for hundreds of tourist photos of major attractions (Eiffel Tower, Big Ben, NYC skyline, etc.), and superimposed them on top of each other. She found it interesting that so many millions…

I had never really liked veggie burgers, but when there wasn’t anything else in the kitchen during a trip home, I thought I could choke it down with enough cheese and ketchup. To my surprise, I actually really enjoyed it. But they’re…
Last week, I fixed my ebookreader. By myself. My husband has requested that I stop boasting about it to him, so here I’m telling you.
I’ll admit it, I’ve had a long love affair with kitchen gadgets. Let me set eyes on an infomercial for the latest “must have” gadget, and, well, I must have it! Fortunately, procrastination, laziness, and my bank account have stopped me from calling in and buying the gadgets I see on TV. But let a…
I have fallen in love this winter – with leather gloves. As a cyclist, of course I use gloves throughout the cold months, but so far it used to be woollen mittens mostly, with only one pair of too-large leather gloves in a garish red. This year I have discovered leather gloves that fit, and…
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6I6hVnTdnWU I didn’t watch the Grammy Awards Sunday night, but I did keep up with the results, and with the New York Times live blog and some of the Twitter reactions. (Side note: Kanye West has to have one of the biggest egos on the planet, but man, can he be funny.) During that time…
