Steampunk — my new obsession
World, meet my new obsession: steampunk. Do I own anything steampunk? No. Do I wish I owned anything steampunk? YES. Like these amazing thigh-high tights. Or perhaps this super cool cake (see below).
Seriously, though; I love this cake. It’s from Mike’s Creations, which has some of the most amazing wedding [...]
Quote of the Day:
“Cash is king; I just wish the king was bigger.’’ The Boston Globe ran a story on the number of people giving cash this holiday season rather than purchasing gifts; notably, a credit union in New Hampshire offered a “Black Friday” 3-month CD with a 10% return and sold 20 times the normal daily [...]
Rant shi: The Biggest Red Herring Ever Perpetrated on the American People
#4: Global. Warming. Debate.
The global warming debate has got to be one of the most inane, worthless debates around right now. First off, let me just say — yes, I believe the earth’s atmosphere is in a warming trend, and I believe that the human population is responsible, and I’ve read James M. Inhofe’s [...]
We interrupt this scheduled ranting…

Rant scratchy: Truth or War
My number two rant about certain conservative politics:
Jesus loves you. God Bless America.
Let’s go to war.
I see a lot of people these days talking about how we shouldn’t have gone to war in Iraq, and strangely, some of them are the same people who accused me of disloyalty and being unpatriotic to my country [...]
Top rants for this November — Rant ichi
Lately I’ve been looking for a sewing machine, and in doing so I’ve come across a lot of conservative (female) blogs. I find it curious to read these types of blogs, since this is my mirror image — so much the same, and yet everything flipped the other direction. So, I decided to [...]
Hiatus?
Sorry for the lack of communication on my blog lately, but I’ve been too busy being ridiculously happy in my new job to worry much about this site. I love, love, love my new job — there are no customers, my supervisors are great, and there is a lot of thinking/problem solving involved, all [...]
