While doing more random stumbling around on the internets, I found this masterpiece of a coat (I have no fear of wacky colors) which I want for two reasons…
Reason 1:
It reminded me of this:
(Zooey Deschenal in Yes Man)
and 2, because it reminded me of this, one of my favorite childhood stuffed animals and stories:
Now if I could only drum up the $645 it would take to buy it, I...

But, this weekend- I DID IT!

I am embarrassed by our country, by...

An article in The Daily by Josh Bernstein. Gives me chills.
A brutal new crime wave from Mexico is hitting America’s suburbs. Drug cartels and their heavily armed henchmen are moving into the house next door, torturing and imprisoning victims for profit in middle-class neighborhoods. Law enforcement agencies from Texas to Northern California report being overwhelmed by the surge of violence....
