What do we do with Nombly's stocking this year?

I was going to write about how I hate Fall, then realized I wrote the same thing almost exactly a year ago


'Everyone's so happy about Fall being here, but I'm not enjoying it. I don't want shorter days. I don't care about the Crisp Air and Crispy Leaves. I usually at least enjoy that it's the one season you can wear almost 100% of your wardrobe, but when you're working in dress code this means nothing. "Will I wear my black slacks or my black slacks? Woo!" This Fall thing is overrated.' (Oct 9, 2008)

fave comment of the day

Comments posted after a movie review:


Ben

Oh brother.


Jen

ditto


AD

How can you “ditto” something that doesn’t make any sense? What does “Oh, Brother” mean anyway?
I can tell you why I am typing “Oh, Brother” right now. You two are dolts.

1st words

An agent whose blog I read is having a First Paragraph contest (best first paragraph of a work in progress.) So I entered mine, cause I think it's pretty alright:

Never send a monk to do a woman’s job.


That's it.

Rosanne Cash

Rosanne Cash's latest album is based on a list her father gave her when she was 18, of the best 100 country songs, cause he felt she didn't know enough country music. Cool idea for an album. And now she's ready to make the next 9 albums!

Homes of the day

I wouldn't put my office in the basement, but I find it interesting that this office is also the toy room (there's another shot they posted of more toys.) Good idea for someone who wants to surf the internet all evening but still be available to drink "tea" from their child's teacup, bandage teddy's broken arm, and so forth.



This house is too ugly to be 350 000. But if they threw in all their 70s decor, they might convince me!
This house is only around $260 000, and has the required Lower Level/basement. I do like all the windows.


But it's begging to be painted a jaunty colour. Pink! Yellow!

yay christmas song time!


It's getting on time for Christmas albums to be released. Yay! I think the Sting one holds promise, cause he's a very wintry sort of guy, and I love The Cherry Tree Carol. More promise than the Bob Dylan anyway.
