Hilarious.

So, I recently read an article about shopping for bargain books online, and what it does to book retailers. (Bargain Hunting for Books, and Feeling Sheepish About It) Since I work for a publishing company, it did give me a few pangs of guilt. I’m guilty of both buying and selling from Half.com, and like [...]

After a nice little holiday hiatus (which I may write about later), I’m back in front of my computer screen. Never one to let a good day to browse the web pass me by, I happened upon
The Headhunter’s Guide to the Top 10 Films of 2008
This amusing little blog post takes the heroes from some [...]

I’d like to thank the people today who took the time to say thank you to me, and to thank the people I forgot to thank. Thank you to the cashiers and the people who opened doors. Thank you to the people who stepped out of the way to let me pass, or even just [...]

- It was above zero degrees (according to google) when I got up.
- Womenomics – a great blog I happened onto. Hopefully they actually blog more. I could get used to this form of getting the news!
- Eating breakfast by [...]

The Chanel ad I just saw (featuring Nicole Kidman, of course) was a total take-off of Moulin Rouge! That kind of thing typically annoys me… this time it just made me want to watch the movie!
