I Almost Forgot

Happy Rosh Hashanah to all our Jewish brothers and sisters!

Great Scot!

Scotland votes for independence from Great Britain today. I’m not sure why this is a good idea, but in honor <ahem> of the rugged, Scottish people I give your the following.

Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to buy up every bottle of Glenlivet I can lay my hands on, ya know, just in case.

I am a Horrible Person

So I let the blog go dark for a couple months, only to jump out at you with two downer posts in a row. Ya know? I am a horrible person after all!

Let me lighten the mood a bit. From the City of Lights, we have such artistic geniuses as Zola, Monet, and Debussy. There’s great architecture, such as the Louvre, Versailles, and the Eiffel Tower.

We’re right across from the Hotel Blake.

But there’s so much more to do than seeing my pretty face. There’s music, food, books, books-complete-with-authors, food, and food. S’posed to be beautiful this weekend too! LitFest runs through Sunday, so if you can’t make it tomorrow, you can visit after church.

In other news, the Chinese have taken over my spam bucket. Knock-off Fauxlex watches, “Mulberry” designer bags, Nikeee shoes, and lots of half-assed Google Translate gibberish. Do you suppose somewhere on a desert island in the South China Sea, there’s a penal colony where the prisoners are forced to spam all day before their evening beatings?

I like to think so.
