Assaulting Employees: FUNNY! Really, Groupon?

I just don’t get it. Maybe I’m not funny after all. Apparently this Groupon video for unsubscribing is the cat’s meow, the bee’s knees, so funny you’ll puke. Just asked Wired, that’s what THEY think. Me, I watch it and think “Wow, we’re just a sad, sad society.” 2,000 years ago, the Romans threw Christians to the lions. [...]

Of Bloggers And Trolls: Oh, My!

Sometimes all it takes to get back into writing is to sit down and do it. Got a comment this morning that I promptly deleted, since I’m just getting too old for that shit. If you want to call me out objectively on anything I’ve written, step right up, my friend. Let’s have a beer and chew [...]

Today, I wish the ethics class I had taken then [...]

Darkest Before Dawn, In The Aftermath

It’s relentless, the imagery from Japan. Hard to watch. Yet watch I do. I may never be witness to such an event again. Lord knows I hope that’s true. Here I am in my comfortable home, mint tea steeping on my table, rain pattering the streets below as a cool spring breeze whispers past, my chimes clattering [...]

Japan’s Tsunami: A Few Personal Thoughts, and a Plea for Your Donation TODAY

As I write this, my morning is bleeding away. Afternoon is nigh and I still need to work. Across the world, however, a series tsunami alerts are either slowing being lifted, or still cautiously being heeded, in the literal wake of Japan’s terrifying 8.9 quake, only 14 hours old now. I worked late last evening, came home, [...]

The New Aging Gracefully

I think it’s oddly intriguing I was inspired to write about aging gracefully on International Women’s Day, since there ain’t exactly a lot of women modelling how to age gracefully these days. Liposuction and tucks and Botox, oh my! But there you have it. Get over yourselves, girls. I like getting older. I like it [...]
