Whenever I visit my parents, I make sure to visit Target before returning to stupid target-less NYC.  I mean, targets exist here, but not in the wonderful, stocked, convenient glory of the suburbs.  Last weekend, my mom bought me this great lime/mustard green sweater dress with a drawstring.  I secretly suspect that my mom bought […]

Just read this story about a modern day case of slavery.  This woman “employed” two Indonesian woman.  And by employed I mean she beat them and abused them while they worked for her; after she had confiscated their passports and visas.  The family paid the “housekeepers’” families 100 dollars a month.  Besides, doesn’t she just LOOK […]

Now that Obama is the general election candidate, the media has been focusing on a McCain vs Obama deathmatch; the Huffington Post is featuring “FearWatch ‘08″ and the Washington Post just published this op-ed, calling Obama an “opportunist”.  So the knife is definitely sharp on both sides, as they say.  It is funny, to me, […]

7up is the best of the clear liquid sodas.  Not only is it refreshing and bubbly, but it’s not too sweet like sierra mist and sprite are.  Sierra mist and sprite are clear but go down like a syrupy sweet cola whereas 7up tastes like lemony seltzer.  I love 7up.

Tim Russert died today of a heart attack.   And while I know this is a sad thing and that heart disease is horrible, I just can’t believe how quick the internet is.  I found out like half an hour ago, and look-
Wikipedia already has his death on his page.  Russert was born in Buffalo, and […]

I love this picture.  John McCain is hugging President Bush.  Former rivals, this picture shows their reconcilation- and Bush even ran a horribly negative campaign against McCain in 2000!  But whatever, bygones!
If you know someone who is deciding who to vote for in November, don’t get mad when HE says he might vote for John McCain.  That whole “war hero” thing […]

Last night a tweet came through my twitterstream that grabbed my attention.It was sent by Ted Rheingold, the founder of dogster:
“Why doesn’t Apple’s MobileMe have social features?  Apple gets A LOT right, but it’s as if they want to skip the social revolution“
This is definitely a thought-provoking question, and one you could easily imagine coming […]
