I don't have anything new to add, really. Also a reader, also failed a class through refusal to read dreck assigned reading with accompanying analysis. Basically just want to add a kudos and thanks for saying so.
Famous Novelists on Symbolism in Their Work and Whether It Was Intentional
I read this great post on John Green's Tumblr, titled Famous Novelists on Symbolism in Their Work and Whether It Was Intentional: "Reading is not a game of Clue; books are not a mystery that you have to solve by putting all the pieces together. That’s not the point. Find the meaning you want to...
Nice, dude! Didn't read all the comments, I'm sure some say the story was like this or that or seemed to take the twist from some other thing, but it was new to me and that's what matters to me. Good job!
Flash Fiction: The Monster In My Closet
About two hours ago, I thought to myself, "'There's a monster in my closet' would be a neat way to start out one of those scary short stories I loved to read when I was in middle school." I wrote it down, then wrote a little more and a little more. Right around the time I realized I had no idea ...
Hands down, the Diaper Genie. I love this concept of getting new stuff every month without having to go shopping!
Seems like I saw a toy rental site that did something similar to Netflix. That's a great idea, too!
Give A Good Gift Giveaway
At every baby shower I've ever been to, about 85% of the gifts are newborn clothes. Adorable, delicate, preciously petite newborn clothes. Each of which your baby will wear once before they cover it with spit up and grow out of before you even have a chance to throw it in the wash. (How's that...
Keep it. Nice idea!
What, Where, When... a new idea
So I thought I'd try this new thing I'm calling "What, Where, When" or WWW for short. Yeah, there shouldn't be any confusion with that. So anyway, this new idea is to randomly scroll through my photo library and pick one photo on the page to share with you fine folks. It should be quick and to t...
re: Places. It's a GPS thing, folks. If I don't 'check-in' at a place, nobody can see that I'm there.
random thoughts from vancouver
I have a late call today, so I have some time to write. Yaaaaay. Here's a few things that have been on my mind in the last, oh, 36 hours or so. So that silly thing Paul and Storm and Adam and I did sort of took off, didn't it? I'm thrilled that so many people found it as entertaining and amusing...
Exactly.
I wish people would quit the knashing of teeth over 'the latest FB escapade'. Be responsible, folks. Only put on the internet what you don't mind people knowing. That goes for ANY website. I recall a riddle: How do 3 people keep a secret? If two of them are dead.

Comment'd. I e-mailed you way back about getting that song you made, but never got a response. Something about ghosts, shoreline, dead town? Fog, maybe? Crap, I can't remember exactly. The song was pretty cool, though. But even better then getting that song would be getting a signed Guild DVD. Hawesome, even.
Radio Free Burrito: Episode Twenty-Eight
Holy Crap, it's time for a new episode of Radio Free Burrito! Has it really been three weeks since the last show? I guess it has. Well, I brought a note that will hopefully excuse my absence... Show Notes: The logo was designed by WWdN:iX reader Marc, who asked that I not link to his "in progr...
Who DOESN'T carry their driver's license? Or valid ID, at least, since some folks don't drive (odd, but true)? I'll tell you who: folks that don't have valid ID. And if you don't have valid ID, well, that's your own fault and you can deal with the consequences.
Have You Read the Law??
The chattering media is aghast at Arizona's new immigration law. "Harkens back to apartheid," says columnist. "Shameful," says another. One of my favorites is, "Terrible…an invitation to abuse." Even President Obama has weighed in calling the law "misguided" and says it "threatens to undermine b...
