playing around

  I finally got my computer – yay! At Walmart, no less – I haven’t been in that store in so long, I had no idea where anything was. Sigh, and I’m such a bad shopper that by the time I was done picking out the laptop (which wound up being the very one on [...]

if this looks half as good as it does in the picture… Michelle Obama Inaugural Doll

Even I would be tempted to get one. (I stole this ad from the one on Atrios). And I don’t run around collecting memorabilia related to this or that celeb. It’s just such a rarity to see contemporary, realistic Black figurines and to also see particularly Black women depicted with such… well, grace is the [...]

Wow, Michael Jackson Has Died. And Farrah.

That’s just… weird. Sad, too, of course – my heart goes out to their family and friends. But still… I practically grew up with MJ. Oh, I didn’t know him (unless you believe the rumor that was going around my jr high school at the time that that was him spending a semester there), but [...]

Why Here, Why Now

Maybe Because My Walls Are White…

I am craving color, for some reason.  Here, in my little corner as well as on my Twitter page, which I have just redone in an explosion of color.  And little animals.
