Sudden Silence by Wendy Kast (22)

Obsession : It wasn’t until I saw an ad for the American Sharing Program when I was about 12 years old that I hit upon my next serious obsession…pen pals. This ad was in the back of something similar to the Weekly Reader, a little in-class magazine that we used to receive. (posted Dec 29, 12:18pm)

Holidailies 29 : The changes I made in 2012 : Before I write about what my plans are for 2013, I’m looking back for a moment on my life in 2012. My internet has been very nice today so this might be a longer post than the last couple of days ;) (posted Dec 29, 11:23am)

He sees you when you’re sleeping he knows when you are naked : Best of Holidailies We were about to tie this topic up with Seven Steps To Loving Christmas And Having A Happy Holiday Season. But surely you know Us better than that. So all We have to say is, next year, if you hate Christmas? Shut yer fuckin’ fruitcakehole and stop pooping in the punchbowl of those of Us who do not.

Book Review: The Oracle of Stamboul : My opinion goes with the majority on this novel. I wanted to love the novel, but I only ended up liking it. Michael David Lukas is an excellent writer, and he sets a mystical mood with his beautiful descriptions of the city of Stamboul and little touches of magic that fit into the world perfectly. The pacing is pretty slow, ... (posted Dec 29, 8:38am)

The Soup Post (again) : My Grandma was about as Cajun as you can get, grew up dirt poor, and learned to cook with whatever she had on hand. Just because it is not the way YOU make it, doesn't mean it is wrong. People can be so rude. (posted Dec 29, 8:35am)

MonkeyPigeon by danieLlE (9)

abouts : I guess there are lots of things informing my world view and that would be the kind of thing to share. I’m a feminist, who was raised to be both Catholic and unassertive, so that feels like a minor miracle. I don’t believe in miracles, however, what with the agnosticism. (posted Dec 29, 6:35am)

Xmas is over, bring out the seed catalogs : Even though the seed catalogs started arriving before Thanksgiving, other than a casual perusing, I have kept them on a back burner while making preparations for xmas. I continue to try to show constraint, but it is difficult. (posted Dec 29, 6:22am)

Catchy Name Needed by Mel C (30)

Funny the World by Bev Sykes (32)

A Year in Books : As for the weirdest book of 2012, it would have to be "Driving Mr. Albert," the story of a guy who takes a cross-country trip with an 84 year old pathologist and, in the pathologist's suitcase, a mayonnaise jar containing Einstein's brain, 40+ years after the scientist's death.

Movies I Saw Today : This somehow leads to (while trying to explain why divorce happens), him telling the story of How I Dated Three Women, One Of Whom Was Your Mom, But I'll Make You Guess Who Mom Is Because I Changed The Names. This....makes no sense as something a human would do or that a kid would go along with. (posted Dec 28, 10:38pm)

Book Review: Norwegian Wood : There are books I want to review and books that I don’t want to review. This one falls into the latter category, and I’m writing one because it’s a book for the Around the World challenge. I liked the book, but I don’t have anything interesting to say about it. I saw the movie before reading the book, and the ... (posted Dec 28, 10:37pm)

I wish... : I’m using a Holidailies prompt today, which is, “What do you wish had happened in 2012, that didn’t?” It’s actually easier to think about the things I wish hadn’t happened in 2012, but I do try not to think about my life in terms of regrets or wishes for things that had or hadn’t happened.
