many things make a post
January 19, 2010
* I'm trying to be surprised by this data about gay marriage bans and a state's divorce rate. I'm failing.
* Letterheady might be my new favorite blog, if only because I have something of a business paper fetish. This one is my favorite entry so far.
* Forget the lawyers. Let's kill all the bankers.
* So this looks like a good way to lose an eye.
* For ironic purposes, these two links need to go together: Objectification silences women and My New Pink Button.
* I'm starting to believe that KJ Dell'Antonia has the same books on her shelf as I do. Here she capsule reviews the wonderful Dutchess of Whimsy.
* And on the topic of kids books, I have a new favorite illustrator, thanks to Jules at Seven Imp.
* Just when I give up on Garrison Keillor, he pulls me back in.
* It'll be interesting to see if this study bears out.
* Why the Pigeon Pose (or any stretching, really) feels good. Personally, pigeon is my least favorite pose ever. EVER!
* Another book to get for the kids. The Table of Contents reads like the outline of my husband's childhood. I mean this in a good way.
* On a serious note: Kage Baker is seriously ill. If you haven't read her books, you should. And if you feel like you need to say goodbye, you should. All of the contact info is in the link. (Also: damn.)
The oddest thing happened about a month ago I stopped hating pigeon. I would not say I LIKE it, and it's still painful. But I dunno. I'm kinda grooving on it a bit. I do not resent it. I even requested it once.

Printed the letterhead. Had to - Kurt Vonnegut & SAAB. My new bookmark for "Man Without a Country".

Thanks for the article about yoga. I love the description "Supreme moment of satisfaction."

Pigeon upset me for several years. Now it's one of my favorite asanas (and one of the most useful for my recent hip injury). But it took a loooong time to get there.
That sewing-machine/scroll-saw mashup is terrifying.

Howdy. I deny regular self-googling, but had to check today to see what a possible agent would come up with, and irresistible clicking led me here to say: You're RIGHT--we do have the same books on our shelves, and I am going to go pre-order that new Connie Willis book right now.
