It’s been a rough few days for Reggie, my Miniature Schnauzer. He had his semi-annual check up last Wednesday and everything looked good…except his teeth and the remaining stones in his bladder. We knew there were stones left in his bladder from his previous procedure (here and here), but one looked big. So Reggie will [...]

I’ve add a Search tool to my blog. It’s currently at the top of the right column, but will probably get moved further down in that column in a few days. Use the tool to search just this blog (re-read all my posts about adorable Reggie, by searching his name ;-). The tool can also be [...] As part of my job I proofread stuff. Now I’m a decent, but not fabulous, proofer. I’m decent because I’m detail-oriented, but not fabulous because I don’t know the rules of grammar as well as I should. I know them pretty well, but not to the level a professional proofreader or copyeditor should. So I’d [...] ALERT: Anthony Horowitz radio interview on "It’s a Mystery." For those of you that like Foyle’s War, which should be everyone!, or the Alex Rider books, or the Diamond Brother’s series, writer/creator Anthony Horowitz is being interviewed today (May 15) at 10:00 A.M. (Central Time). The radio show is called "It’s a Mystery" and can heard [...] Shoeboxes are one of my favorite childhood memories. Not shoeboxes with shoes in them…special shoeboxes. Back before Gameboys, PSPs, and video monitors in cars, mothers had to be creative to keep children entertained (read: not whining) on long car trips. When my brother and I were very young, Mum made shoebox treasure troves and gave [...] Do you do this? Be honest now… Have you ever turned on the TV or been flipping through the channels when you discover a movie or TV show is playing RIGHT NOW on the telly and you sit there watching it…EVEN THOUGH you already own it on DVD or video! Am I the only nut that does [...] A few years ago U.S. television networks discovered a way they could squeeze a little more "value" into their air time. Do you remember this? That’s when they started squeezing a show’s closing credits in to a tiny section of the screen and ran promos for other shows in the remaining–larger–area of the screen. Tonight [...] The weather was fabulous today! I was in Chicago for a little while, but didn’t think to take a camera–except for the one in my cellphone. So here are a few low-quality cellphone camera images of the Field’s clocks I’ve mentioned a few times. Both pictures are of the clock at State and Randolph.
"I won’t get stolen. I promise." That’s a line I overheard tonight at a bookstore. I was looking at books in Fiction when the boy and girl near me started talking. The girl was saying something about "going next door," but I didn’t pay much attention, until she said: "I won’t get stolen. I promise." It [...]
Yes, that really is George Lucas' head (or a replica of it) on a storm trooper action figure. Read about it here: George Lucas takes on new role: Storm Trooper action figure. |
