- I am getting the redesign bug again and have uploaded several new themes to play with so if you come by and everything looks all crazy, don’t panic. This is a good time to be reading me via feed reader so you don’t have to see any explosions.
- A kind, wonderful, amazing reader sent me – no kidding – a laptop that she no longer used. Tonight, a fairly hot and humid night, I am not sitting in my corner at my desk, sweating. Instead I am sitting directly in front of the air conditioner that sits over the dining room table and I am quite comfortable. Laptops are the bomb. I still can not express enough thanks to the wishes-to-be-anonymous person who actually gifted me with this. Because I am an enormous DORK, my shiny black laptop is called Severus Snape. No, seriously.
- I am seriously considering re-reading the last Harry Potter just because I read it too quickly.
- I wrote up a book review on my review site that you should check out if you are a parent with an alienated relationship with your older teen/adult child.
- It is amazing the weird and funny stuff that you can find on the Internet, but it has been a long time since I have been so in awe of something as I was when I saw the 1500 Filipino prisoners re-enacting the dance sequence to Michael Jackson’s Thriller. Holy crap it is awesome.
I believe that is all.

A free laptop – lucky you (And it looks like a Snape to me)
See, that’s why I’m taking my time reading the last book – I have too many other books lined up to be read without adding one to be re-read 🙂
I almost have to crack up imagining what would happen around here if someone attempted to create a prison video like that. I thought it was terrific.
Ive been memorized by that video for several days. I think i’d like to see them reenact west side story or bye bye birdie next
