Dare Mighty Things
I gave myself a fight-off-this-cold-before-I-get-it reprieve from my “to do” list yesterday, and read You Have The Power; Choosing Courage in a Culture of Fear by Frances Moore Lappe and Jeffrey Perkins. I highly recommend it! I love that it was such a good book. Far better it is to dare mighty things, to win [...]
The Wrestler
Wow, just saw it. POWERFUL film. My friend and I saw it and we both got a feeling at a certain point in the movie- it just made us want to be kinder to people. It really reminds me of the quote that says to be kind to people- you never know what battles they [...]
Media thoughts
Sex and the City the movie may have ruined Sex and the City the TV show for me. BUMMER. Some scenes from the show when it was still good: The Bachelor This latest episode is the reason I like The Bachelor. I LOVE when the really nice women are left. I think Jason has really [...]
Great book to help your kid (and you!) learn how to make friends
I got The unwritten rules of friendship : simple strategies to help your child make friends from the library. No, I don’t have kids! I got it for me. I got it on the sly. Yes, yes, librarian, I am an astounding social success, and clearly a concerned mother, but my poor kid needs some [...]
oops, I did it again: watching The Bachelorette
I told you I wasn’t going to do it, but then, one lonely night, I tuned in to the Bachelorette. I didn’t like the first episode. I thought the guys were lame. But, now that I’ve watched the second episode, I’m definately hooked. I just like DeAnna. She is really obviously looking for true love. [...]
Roger Ebert
I love Roger Ebert. (Roger Ebert has a new picture up on his site. He’s older, wiser, been through cancer. He has a kind and insightful look on his face.) I had to say it here because, I love Roger Ebert and pobably he is going to die before I do, and when he does, [...]
A review of Habit Tracking tools
Joe’s Goals seems to be the most talked about online habit tracker. My first impression was that I didn’t like the way it looks. It seems a bit unwieldy to me compared to the Habit Calendar, which is the only other habit tracking tool I was able to find online. The Habit Calendar has a [...]
Much Love: This week shows why I love The Bachelor
Ok, when I started watching The Bachelor at the beginning of the season, I’m like, why am I watching this? And every time I watch, I feel like a sick, sick puppy who is only ingraining bad, bad ideas from this culture more firmly in my head. But then comes this one redeeming week. So, [...]
Film recommendation: Moolaadé
An uplifting story about female genital mutilation, who would believe it? I really don’t like to watch depressing movies, even for a good cause. But Ebert promised that it was uplifting. But here, read his words that convinced even me: “Moolaade” is the kind of film that can only be made by a director whose [...]
Merle’s Door
One of the great things about quitting my job has been getting to spend time reading. One of the books I read over Christmas was Merle’s Door. Here’s what my mom has to say about it: I finished reading Merle’s door – I don’t know if you checked out the website – but you can [...]
