Wrong

Saturday, February 28th, 2009

Depeche Mode has released their new single, Wrong.  It couldn’t have come at a better time.

White Witch, Black Curse

Tuesday, February 24th, 2009

One of the downsides to being overseas has been missing the release of books that I’ll have to wait to read until I get back to the states.  Granted, they’ll be released here at some point, but I’ve also got to keep my book collection down to a manageable level – shipping them home when [...]

Oh, Those Dictators

Friday, February 20th, 2009

What’s up with random Hitler new articles lately?
I ran across this one about Hitler and his atrocious table manners the other day.  Which must be news because, as everyone knows, even psychotic dictators who decimate millions of people should know better than to show poor form at the dinner table.  Because table manners are super [...]

In The Wee Small Hours

Tuesday, February 17th, 2009

Would someone please tell me why, oh why I just had to have a decent bout of insomnia the night before my one and only relatively early class of the week?

Oh, For The Love Of Music

Saturday, February 14th, 2009

Before my love affair with books and boots, music came first on my list.  When I was in my late teens and early twenties and making a mere $25 / day, I’d spend my last dollar on music or music-related items.  As I’ve gotten older, I’ve learned to like the huge stadium shows less due [...]

Cemetery Dancin’

Thursday, February 12th, 2009

A couple of weeks ago, K.W. and I took a hike through the woods behind the campus.  I had it on good authority that there was a cemetery back that way and I simply had to go check it out.  The misfit is nothing if not morbid.  It turns out my souce meant the new [...]

Idiots ‘R They

Sunday, February 8th, 2009

Okay.  So I’ve been thinking about this whole stimulus package thing that’s supposed to try to help fix all that ails the economy in the States.  Since I have to suck it up and actually get a job when I get back, and all.  Sucks, but what can a poor girl do?  Anyway, I remember [...]

Crack For The Misfit

Saturday, February 7th, 2009

There aren’t many things I’m addicted to.  Not piercings (though I’ve had my nose pierced since I was 21) and not tattoos (don’t even have one, yet…).  I have plenty of friends who can lay claim to those, but I can’t.  I’m not addicted to drugs or alcohol (though I do smoke… *sigh*) and can [...]

The Little Snow Cloud

Monday, February 2nd, 2009

Okay…the day after I laid claim to being the person that I am, I am now feeling like I have this little snow cloud following me around.  Not only did I get snowed in in Chicago last March [click here and here] (which I understood to have been the worst spring snowstorm in 60 years) [...]

Everything You Wanted Me To Hide Is Everything That Makes Me Feel Alive

Sunday, February 1st, 2009

Yeah.  I’m still here.  Got caught up in reading and spending a bit of time in my head.  Most of the time I hate spending so much time wrapped up in my brain, but it was long overdue, really.  Sometimes it’s annoying, the confusion that seems so…well, confusing, only to realize that if I stopped [...]
