Read a Banned Book!
It’s banned books week again, the time when we recognize that individuals throughout the country attempt to stifle free thought and intellectual freedom by keeping books out of the hands of children.
Here are the top 10 most challenged books of 2008:
1. And Tango Makes Three, by Justin Richardson and Peter Parnell

Baltimore
I had a lovely time in Baltimore during Michael’s conference. I even got to see Neurondoc and her family, however, the venue of our meeting wasn’t really suitable for taking pictures, so you’ll just have to take my word for it.
Also, I can’t apparently shoot a straight picture to save my life. I’ll hope they’re [...]

Sunday Photos
I’m a little frustrated, because none of the rechargable batteries I have seem to want to hold a charge, so I wasn’t able to get many pictures yesterday, despite the fact that the weather was perfect (for taking pictures that is: overcast).

Friday Cat Blogging
Kat has shoved himself into the corner, so it looks like we’ve placed him in time out.

What You Should Be Reading: Sean Russell
I was first introduced to Sean Russell when a friend loaned me a copy of The Initiate Brother and Gatherer of Clouds. Except that it ended up being a trade. I had loaned him a volume of The Year’s Best in Fantasy and Horror (Volume 6 perhaps?) and then he moved and that was [...]

Tasty Tuesday: Apple Crumble
Got some apples from the farmer’s market, but just didn’t feel up to making a pie. Or more accurately, didn’t feel up to making a pie crust. I have got to start freezing pie dough for situations such as these.
So I browsed some recipes and found an apple crumble recipe that looked pretty good.

Health and Politics in These United States
When I was listening to the news Sunday night, they played an interview with Ron Paul. I know people who think Ron Paul is the best thing since buttered bread, but after this interview I have even less of a clue as to why.
What stopped me in my tracks was Paul’s instance that “health care [...]

Sunday Flower Pr0n: End of Summer
Yes, summer ends this week. I’ve neglected posting pictures recently, because since I was sick, I’ve been badly neglecting my garden. Apparently, Michael (bless his heart) is unable to water plants or even mow the lawn when I’m feeling crappy.
So I don’t have a lot blooming right now; the lack of watering kept my Stella [...]

(sigh)
I’m out of sorts. I don’t know what I want to do. I don’t have a thing to read.
OK. That last bit ins’t true. Would you believe I don’t know what I’m in the mood to read?
AVAST!
Happy Talk Like A Pirate Day!
My pirate name is:
Black Ethel Bonney
Like anyone confronted with the harshness of robbery on the high seas, you can be pessimistic at times. You can be a little bit unpredictable, but a pirate’s life is far from full of certainties, so that fits in pretty well. Arr!
Get your own pirate [...]

What You Should Be Reading: Food in the United States
I was 20 when I stopped eating mammals.
Since that time, I have become only more aware of industrial food production in the United States, and the problems it causes, for those who eat it, for those who produce it, and for the land.
At this point, nearly twenty years later, most people have heard passing [...]

Tasty Tuesday:Zucchini Bread
Since my last foray went so badly, this time I went to my recipe file to find a zucchini bread recipe I’d used before.
Of course things couldn’t go smoothly: I discovered that aside from the 1/2 cup in the flour bin, I was out of white flour. I have whole wheat flour, I have bread [...]

Monday Blues, All Month Long
I know, I know. It seems like forever since I’ve written a real post, and have even fallen down on keeping up with the regular series posts I make.
My excuse is I’ve been sick, and it’s been a very long summer that has rolled into an equally difficult fall.
It’s strange. I started this oh so [...]

Friday Cat Blogging
While I was sick, I was ensconced in the computer room in the basement, which doubles as a sick room, because it’s away from Grandmom. As the basement is where the cats go in the basement at night (so they don’t accidentally trip Grandmom) I had plenty of feline company–whether I wanted it or not.
Here [...]
