Welcome to Missyisms

Yes, once again, welcome to the new home of Missyisms. I know, a lot of moving around lately. Thank you for your patience. I’ve had this domain for a couple of years and finally gathered the courage to attempt migrating my blog here. It’s taken some doing…more doings than necessary to be honest…but here we [...]

Remembering A Secret

A secret.

TypePad Recently Updated List

There are several things I like about TypePad, but since I’m sick, I’m not going to list them now.

One thing I don’t like is that they don’t do much to promote the blogs using their service. They always have a short list of "Recently Updated Blogs," but it is very short and NOW [...]

Top 50 Websites

The Chicago Tribune listed their choices for the "Top 50 Web Sites" in today’s "Tempo" section. We’re proud to announce that Missyisms, this very blog you are currently reading, was right up there with all the other great websites that just missed the list! We’re like the want-to-be professional athletes invited to training camp for [...]

Ode for a Name

Clarence House says that Prince might join the Blues and Royals in Iraq.

Oh Well. Sigh.

I had a lovely, sarcastic, poetic, sweetly, ranting blog for this evening…

…then I found out I was wrong. I had to delete the blog before I could even post. It was all about hot dog buns and the postal service, but…poof…it’s gone. I admit defeat.

And what am I left with? A night that winter returned [...]

From the Land of Dumb Comments

"Skating is very, very hard, possibly even harder than hoofing,…"

No! You think?

Of all things, that’s a quote from a Chicago Tribune mini-review of a new Fox television show called "Skating with Celebrities." As previously mentioned here, "Skating" appears to be a "copy" of ABC’s "Dancing with the Stars"–thus the skating/hoofer comparison in the quote. [...]

Golden Yawns

I was going to post several short movie reviews tonight. They’re partially written, but are dull and insipid because I’m tired and lethargic. Ever since my flu bout last week, I’ve been struggling to catch up with sleep. Every time I think I’m close WHAM something knocks me back into Weary World. Last night I [...]

Up Close

I think it’s time for a little fun. Here’s some close-up pictures of common items found around a home. Can you guess what they are? (Click on an image for a larger view. Boy, these are too easy!)
