We’re picking up and getting out of town for a couple of days to run out the last of the summer, so don’t bother looking for us. In the meantime, here’s some music: “Big Bad World One (live)” – Jonathan Coulton “Downtown” – Tegan & Sara “Lover” – Les Paul & Mary Ford “Better” – [...]

“Those who discourage your dreams likely have abandoned their own” Think about it, won’t you? (Carrie V has)

I liked it; a lot, actually. Rather few nitpicks, everything pretty much ended up the way it ought to, given the plot points the series set up. The only specific thing I will say, in deference to all those people out there who haven’t caught up yet, is that all these characters ought to have [...]

Scientific American published an article back in May about the healing powers of blogging, or more specifically, writing about thoughts and feelings in general.
