It’s early morning and we get inter-office emails like any other day. But today’s message caught my eye. I guess it was suppose to inspirational, but it irked me to no end. The story goes:
Recently, in a large city in Australia, a poster featuring a young, thin and tan woman appeared in the window of [...]

I’ve been in my own apartment for about 6 months now. In this time I’ve done some updates… one of which was the bathroom. It was a very old building with out-dated bath fixtures. Unfortunately it’s a rental so there’s not too much I can do. However, storage is always a big issue for me [...]

Forget the multitude of things you can do to your blogs to increase traffic.
I did one thing… and increased my traffic 10 fold. Mind you. My humble little blog is by no means successful. My problem is there’s too many things I’m interested in and it’s hard for me to narrow it down.
Still… doing one [...]

Soon after Christmas it’s time for the new year resolution. Filled with turkey and stuffing (yum yums), I will is high on losing some blubber.
It just so happens that a friend of a friend of mine is starting the P90X program, designed to tone and drop pounds all in a 13 week program.

When I lived at my mother’s, I had an upstairs suite converted from an attic. It was a very self sufficient room and had lots of light thanks to the large french doors to the upstairs patio.
The only problem was the tiny bath room. It was literally 5ft across. I could reach wall to wall [...]

Can Taylor Swift ever be allowed to have a victory without some fooney commenting on her as an artist?

The starts of Twilight were evaculated from the London Dorchester hotel on Wednesday after a fire alarm went off. Kristen, Robert and Taylor stood outside waiting while the situation was sorted out.

In light of recent swine flu (H1N1) pandemic and the shortage of flu vaccines, many who can’t afford the vaccine (or simply can’t afford the 13 trillion hours spent standing in line waiting to be shot) have turned to home remedies.
One of these remedies, as they were talking about on the radio, was hanging onions [...]

First of all.. this whole pregnancy women on the bus thing is getting out of hand.
