With Fail: October 2012
http://withfail.blogspot.com/2012_10_01_archive.html
Pursuing the opposite of perfection, in parenting and parts unknown. Friday, October 19, 2012. Rooster in the Fire. Keeping true to the theme of this blog I have again failed to post much at all. I did manage to publish a couple of pieces for Modern Latina. The articles center around motherhood issues - being a bit kinder to ourselves. And being mindful of how we talk to our children. An old bird can be plucked, roasted, counted out and still rise to sing out once more. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). You kn...

maggie is restless: Even better than a movie deal
http://maggiebex.blogspot.com/2009/04/even-better-than-movie-deal.html
Tuesday, April 07, 2009. Even better than a movie deal. If you watch House. And you haven't seen last night's episode yet, please skip down to the last paragraph of this post. Last night, after the tears had dried. Once the anger had set in at losing my favorite character, I thought, "There had better be a really excellent movie in the works to make up for this! The reality is so much better. I don't watch House, but I heard about that. Sounded like a pretty insane episode. 11:15 AM, April 08, 2009.

maggie is restless: January 2011
http://maggiebex.blogspot.com/2011_01_01_archive.html
Tuesday, January 04, 2011. Finally saw the tediously heavy-handed Black Swan. We've had more than enough movies that show competitive, ambitious women in a negative light; aren't we bored with them yet? This movie is just a more artfully shot Showgirls, as far as I can tell. And not to beat a dead horse, but if you do a comparison of how ambitious women are portrayed in film versus ambitious men, you'll see there is a hugely unfair disparity. Links to this post.

Monday, October 26, 2009. Some things you just can't Twitter about. Even if what you want to say is perfectly expressed in under 140 characters:. At bedtime, the still-rumpled sheets were a sweet reminder of the afternoon's indiscretion.". Oh, Captain, my Captain! Quite yet). I can't remember the good structure that floated through my head last night, and my writing is just too rusty to come up with something equivalent or better. You know what else is annoying? A clearly dominant personality who claims ...

maggie is restless: September 2008
http://maggiebex.blogspot.com/2008_09_01_archive.html
Monday, September 22, 2008. Daily horoscope annoyance and frustration. Accepting a time frame? Sure, that sounds like something I'm comfortable doing. Though honestly, this is exactly what I needed to hear today, it's very appropriate. Links to this post. Thursday, September 18, 2008. What I did on my summer vacation. And the parking area in back! I really love it. You have to come over and see it! We had some bumps along the way, including a drainage issue that added about 20% to the final cost. But...

maggie is restless: March 2009
http://maggiebex.blogspot.com/2009_03_01_archive.html
Monday, March 16, 2009. Really, who couldn't use a good cocktail. More humor dear to my former-English-teaching heart:. The Fall of the Iron(y) Curtain. Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). I am an entropy magnet. Less talk, more monkeys. Indulge often. Welcome temptation. Resist nothing. Satisfy always. More drinking, less driving. Admit it, so are you. I'm like the Chrysler Building; I'm so underrated! Like the Empire State Building. I don't want you in. I have really great hair. 17", 15 lbs.

maggie is restless: November 2008
http://maggiebex.blogspot.com/2008_11_01_archive.html
Friday, November 28, 2008. Finally, a reason to watch the Macy's parade. I've never been a big fan of parades, and the Macy's T-Day parade in general is just one big traffic snarl. But this. Might forever redeem it for me. And Oh My God I love that guy! I wish more people and his sense of humor, and took themselves less seriously. Also, so cute! Links to this post. Wednesday, November 19, 2008. My latest internet crush. S blog, even if often I don't understand it (what is for this Tumblr. I can tell you ...

Clickie's Journal: another gelling thing!
http://clickie.livejournal.com/140122.html
21 February 2008 - 11:40 pm - another gelling thing! Adding to the list of plants used for gelling. I just found out that bracken fern rhizomes, in the family Dennstaedtiaceae. Woo! Looking at the list, I note that the Japanese must be really into gelled things. Traditional Japanese desserts use glutinous rice, bracken, konnyaku, agar, and kudzu.five of the nine. 2008-02-22 09:32 am (UTC). Cornstarch gells up nicely, but you've already got Poaceae. 2008-02-22 11:01 am (UTC). 2008-02-22 11:57 am (UTC).

My Dead Grandmother: Fighting Words
http://mydeadgrandmother.blogspot.com/2013/02/fighting-words.html
Blogging the life of my sometimes crazy, often angry, always tough Portuguese grandmother. Thursday, February 14, 2013. You're just like Vovó.". This softened some as she drifted into extreme old age. She still picked fights, still tossed out casual insults at family dinners, like the Easter when she was introduced to the fiance of a family friend. She took one look at him and said, loudly, "Why would you marry this fat bald old man? Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Life in the Sun.
