I don’t have a microwave. People think this is weird. I could have a microwave. I make a couple of bucks, and they aren’t that expensive. However, they also take up prime counter real estate, and the only thing I’d use it for on a regular basis is popcorn. When I cook for myself at [...]
Just Like Heaven? Eh. Just okay. Coldplay cancelled their Wednesday and Friday night shows due to illness. (“Martin was felled by a virus.”) We’ll see how tonight goes. I went to a wedding last night where the bride and groom shared the top ten things they love about each other. (Each other’s smile was at [...]
If I wanted to watch a movie to scare myself, and I mean really scare myself, what should I rent?
So I’m in the market for a new digital camera. I’ve gone back and forth between getting an ultracompact point-and-shoot or possibly splurging on a used digital SLR or superzoom (larger point-and-shoot with 10 or 12x optical zoom).

I haven’t met anyone from the internet in a while. You game?
In a surprising and inconceivable turn of events, I have decided to become a dog person. It will be a long process, so you will have to bear with me. Why the change? Between being a dog person and a cat person, I leaned more towards cats, but I was never a big pet person [...]
Dear Winn, Yesterday was your birthday, and I let it pass unnoticed. Thus, I issue this public apology: happy belated birthday, Winn. I’m sorry I let the opportunity pass to make fun of you for being so old. Ha, wait, I can still do that! You’re really old! xoxo, Maura
