Wow. What a big difference there is between 1152×864 and 1024×768. I can actually read some of the blogs without leaning in and squinting now.

I have also been doing some reading. I finally finished Susan Howatch’s Wheel of Fortune and will have more to say about it later. The other book I’ve been reading and finished was Karen Mains’ Open Heart, Open Home: The Hospitable Way to Make Others Feel Welcome & Wanted. I was mostly disappointed with this…

This weekend we rented two films: Gosford Park and The Royal Tennenbaums. Gosford Park was a magnificently produced “whodunit” that delved into the formalities of the early 20th Century British upper class and their dealings with those who served them.

We’re really not crazy: Big Brother really is watching! My mother-in-law saw Sunday’s Dilbert and thought of us. Jason and I don’t ever share our opinions, nuh-uh, not us. Actually, it isn’t really the tracking that bothers us, rather the extra card in our wallet/purse and the raising of prices so they can “give” us…

Last night I went for my first time to participate in this study. It was pretty interesting. I’ve never participated as a research subject before. When I was there, I didn’t feel as though the shoulder massage did that much, but I slept really well last night, so I guess it was better than I’d…

My poor husband can tell you that I like way too much FoodTV and HGTV. My favorite cooking show, however, is Nigella Bites which is on E! on Saturday mornings. Its probably a cross between the camera work, her accent, and her focus that food is fun and can be easily used to build community.
